This is an open letter to Rachel about the Atmosphere

What's good? I am using this as an excuse to write something in offprint.app. This is the third ATProto native blog site I've tried - the others being Leaflet.app and bckt.blog. These app publish to the standard.site lexicon, which is an early standard for what blogposts on Atmosphere should be shaped like, from a data model perspective*. So I’m thinking more about it from a pure utility standpoint, and there are multiple levels to it.
Getting Started I'd start out blogging here. I could see you also using Bluesky to share event times and locations, and then sharing those posts elsewhere. There are also ATproto native event platforms that could become your source of truth and then fan out from there. https://semble.so/profile/byarielm.fyi/collections/3mfdje7uuhu2r Here is Semble collection of 244 different apps built in the Atmosphere. All of these apps will let you log into them with your Bluesky account. Some will require an App Password from Bluesky, but the consumer ones will all allow you to log in using a "Sign in with Bluesky" workflow, similar to signing up with Google. Some of these apps even host accounts. We can dive into that later.
*For example - below is a rendering in pckt.blog of all the posts I've written. This is lovely is written in pckt.blog, and Grind 75 is written in Leafet.app. But since they're the same record type, and your account owns your data and not the blogging platform itself, all the standard.site posts of mine will show up under my name, regardless of where I created it.
