Someone write me a hefty check and you'll see some wild atproto applications. Do I know how they would be profitable? No Would there be some crazy good atproto apps and tools for the community and you'll see the atproto developers working them get paid? Hell yes you would

I developed a Twitter bot that I would like to move to Bluesky, but the migration to atproto does not look easy.

Got about 2-3 projects I'd love to see and to help with on technical advice wise. Be nice to be able to go "Here's some cash, here's a plan, knock yourself out let me know what questions you got" Big thing is developers getting paid (meaning others not me) and net positive for the atproto community

Well you need an atproto tip jar / sponsor button on tangled.sh to make it easy to get paid πŸ˜‰

the primary service that implemented this [1] shut down a while ago though [2]. There was a mobile browser that implemented it, but on the App store page it looks like they are more focused on AI now [3] [1] webmonetization.org/specification/ [2] coil.com [2] static.pumabrowser.com

this is the closest thing I can think of wrt. to an open web standard for payments besides some kind of smartphone mobile wallet integration w/o directly resorting to crypto even though it does in a roundabout way.

A lot of my knowledge is pretty developer focused πŸ˜… But a pretty low friction way would be to follow an atproto feed. If you have questions most people are friendly or can check some the other links for what seems interesting you see on the feed and want to know more about

This goes into a lot more details about the specifications and how things should work (and mostly do work) atproto.com
