Will Garrison

Hey! 👋 Figured before I started shouting into the sky I should introduce myself. I'm Will, my homepage is on vvill.dev, and this account's hosted on my own @tranquil.farm instance. I just started diving into atproto dev, and got lots to learn, but there's so much to build here!

What if gather town but P2P and with ATProto identities? 👀

Have you seen the new CVE? It's on leegnux. It's literally on MITRE. It's on zendo with ads. It's literally on GitLab. You can probably find it on zendo. Dude it's on Joomla.

We have put together DID and handle resolution vectors that you can use to check if software you run may be vulnerable. The following handle should _not_ resolve to a DID: '@emudhra.divy.zone' The following DID should _not_ resolve to a DID document: 'did:web:emudhra.divy.zone'

Yes! Going head first back into my "Identity governance for ATProto" leaflet spiral draft. Glory to did:rawr!

FYI: Our next meetup is 11/10 to give everyone dedicated time to vote on Election Day ... but if you miss thinking about the atmosphere, you can check out @graze.social 's Election Night project

🗳 midterms.graze.social is @graze.social's most ambitious project to date. And as of today, it's live. Let's take a look at what the next 27 days will look like 🧵

📣📣 Hey #PDX!! We're hanging out with Bluesky's CTO @pfrazee.com TMRW to chat about crazed visions for the atmosphere Join us!

I've been skeeting in Gruvbox via canary witchsky for a while now. Woohoo! Any other gruvboxers out there? witchsky.app/profile/vvil...

I bet we're about a year away from a polished atproto (+ distributed ai powered appview) marketplace sparking a smb revolution and the fall of Amazon, eBay and Etsy. Hear Paul's Predictions at @pdx.atproto.camp next Tuesday 🎪

BSidesPDX 2026 is back! 🌲👾 Mark your calendar for October 23–24 in Portland Here’s your checklist: 🎟️ Tickets: On sale now grab yours early! 🎙️ CFP: Open until September 25th! 🙋 Volunteers: We need you to help run the show! Details & links below 👇 bsidespdx.org #InfoSec #CyberSecurity #Portland

Organizing the Trunk of your CAR... Looks sweet, we need more PDS implementations

Crazed Visions of the Future, in Portland Oregon?!

Am I gonna jinx myself saying I'll have a productive ATmosfall? 🍂

I'm so glad society has solved distributed systems architecture and invented atproto

Taking notes as I work on Project, found myself conflating implementation details into my spec drafts. I came up with this table of personas and how the relate to software writing, seems to be helping. Does this look like anything well-known? Any suggestions?

Atmosphere account on iOS 👀

Took some time to vote in #bsky38, and be thankful for a few of the people that have positively influenced me on this site. Copied my votes to my campaign description: bsky38.com/profile/vvil...

Excited to finally release this blog post, after months in the drafts. Be sure to check out the bonus semble collection inside!

Yessss gruvboxsky

THIS TUESDAY Join us for an ATProto meetup featuring @graham.systems's demo of dist.town + an unconference-style discussion breakout! Have an ATProto topic you'd like to discuss at the meetup? Send 'em our way!

Every time I go out in public wearing my ATmosphereConf or Streamplace tshirt I'm hoping someone recognizes it and we get to have a little impromptu 2 person ATmosphereConf on the sidewalk 🤞

I have also been working recently on making this a general reusable process! maxine.science/sdd/ (please excuse if there is any remaining Claudeish lol)

I thought we needed a custom ROM to see the benefits of an Atmosphere OS, but @astrra.space showed me how we could accomplish the same with stock Android

Wonder what it would look like for libraries to host PDSs. "Go to your public library" feels like a good vibe

Do you like fast network replay? How does ~40 million events per second strike you? Replay the whole network in like 10 minutes In the best case scenario, running the jetstream server and the client on your own very powerful machine, this is roughly the peak I've achieved so far

ICYMI: Check out @johnandersen777.bsky.social's post on how @socialweb.computer works:

Another great meetup - thanks to everyone who came out and watched us on the stream!

📣📣This is TMRW, 8/4 Come hang out and see what's happening in the PDX side of the atmosphere!!

Who's building atporto - portobello mushrooms on the protocol?

108 PRs in eight days, up from an average of 5-10 PRs total per week. I think I may have found something pretty cool! Loop engineering, using a combination of Obsidian and Claude's /loop function. Link to a sample repo to try it out in the blog post! brittany-ellich.offprint.app/a/3mrjj34puv...

So excited, see y'all there!

I develop with atproto because it is web scale

People are still talking about what to call the permissioned data protocol. It's not the Authenticated Transfer Protocol, it's the Authorized Transfer Protocol. We could call it the AT protocol, or atproto for short!

Want to distribute compute to members of your organization in an ATProto native way? Check out socialweb.computer!

Following the general release and tentative pro-plan for @roomy.space here's a transparency report & vision for our proto-company's financials. 1. Seed Money 2. The Deal - for Roomy contributors 3. Outstanding Debts - to Roomy contributors -> a replicable model for purpose-driven companies.

I’m gonna say some insane shit at the event tonight it’s gonna start a billion discourses I better see you all at @pdx.atproto.camp tonight

Helping a friend install @tranquil.farm on his server today. It was a long, tough sell but we landed it 🫡

I love building tools I need to build the tools I need to build the tools I need to build the software I want to build.
