Community App Lexicon WG

Unfortunately, we don’t plan to implement the app lexicons on Bluesky Directory. This is primarily because all of our bandwidth is allocated to paid work right now. :frowning:

But it’s also a matter of strategy. We’ve talked a lot lately about what’s next for Bluesky Directory. It’s been a cool project, but our efforts to monetize the site haven’t succeeded. We bring in enough to pay its operational costs, but that’s about it. We’ll absolutely keep it going, but we don’t plan to add any new features.

We still love Bluesky, but for us, the ATmosphere is the future, so that’s where we’re going to focus. We really want to start building atmospheredirectory.com (which we own), but again, we can’t do it without a way to fund it. When we do build it, we’ll implement the lexicons, for sure!

Until then, we want to stay involved in the WG.

Hey @jluther.net – the community is building it at https://atstore.fyi.

It’s gone ahead with a lexicon of its own, and then will adopt/migrate to the shared community lexicon once it’s defined.

That means you can use the same lexicon and data and do whatever you like with it as well.

Hear you on the funding issue. It’s awesome that people have some time to contribute to community efforts, but have to get people paid at some point.

I was looking at atstore.fyi over the weekend, it’s great!

I did a review pass and left some comments on the PR!
