remember when I asked for a replacement for #disqus and then ranted about how none of the available solutions would also integrate with #mastodon?
Well shit. I did it again and scratched my own itch and barfed out another open source project.

* probably has bugs

🌐 Beyond Bluesky: The Rise of Decentralized Social Apps
The AT Protocol (ATProto), the open foundation behind Bluesky, is becoming a launchpad for next-gen social apps.
Some standout innovations:
・Flashes: A photo/video-sharing platform reminiscent of classic Instagram
・Spark: A video-first app with livestreaming on the way
・Streamplace: Livestreaming built with cryptographic creator protections
・Graze: Build, customize, and monetize your own social feeds
This signals a shift toward user-owned, open social ecosystems—a strong contrast to walled-garden platforms. Developers, creators, and users alike are embracing interoperability, privacy, and creative freedom.
