I tried to get a promo code for android (twice - on WiFi and data) both times I got that "this code has expired".

I've been working on a in-browser PDS (personal data server) for the ATProtocol.

It runs as a chrome extension and stores all the browser locally. A server is needed for some of the public connections. Early days but interesting:

Yeah, apps wouldn't be able to only listen to the firehose.

There are some proposals for private files. However, I'm outside the AtProto world so not sure what exactly the suggested implementations are. I just hope they give enough control.

I think the technology could potentially be used for way more than microblogging. I would love to use webapps that store the data on my devices and share it with specific people. The data and access under my control.

I think it would be interesting if the file servers had read/write/list/delete permissions on files. For both groups and users.

It would mean the public stuff could see your files but private projects could exist. Eg. Maybe I don't want my At Protocol version of Figma making all my drawings public. If they could be shared in a group (anyone in a list in that folder or whatever).

Maybe this is coming, but would interest me way more about using applications on the atmosphere.

Another thing I do for software projects is use the exact same make template [1].

I also try to add any other commands to it as they come up. So much easier to run 'make install' whenever I pull a project than have to remember the commands.

Even if I can't always add the process I will use a bunch of echo's to bring me through the steps.
