AT Protocol is a joy to build on — open public data, structured JSON, zero auth friction. I built a Bluesky scraper using the same endpoints and it's one of the most stable scrapers I have. Great to see more tools for this ecosystem.

y'all gotta throw this up on https://tangled.org ;)

It's always nice to see production codebases in languages that you've never used but are interested in.

Tangential, but to the author, are there any FORTRAN codebases you feel are well designed?

Are there any other AT protocol apps that aren’t derivatives of bluesky? By that I mean, not social media feed related, twitter clone.

out of curiosity, why fortran? no disrespect. I wrote a lot of scientific software in the earlier days of my career and I learned fortran to update ocean modeling software.
