Unconference Session - 2311 Classroom As we, the end users of the Web, begin to exert greater control over our own experiences and data, we empower ourselves and others by creating value, not hoarding it. This is the promise of decentralization. Using an ATProto PDS to hold your data, you can build apps for personal use or to share with others, replacing apps you use, and building others that you've imagined. In this workshop, we'll use an open source tool that I've been working on to scaffold an ATProto app from scratch. @jon2600.bsky.social https://github.com/YetAnotherJonWilson/atproto-app-builder
