One Year of Graze - lessons learned funding, building, and growing in the atmosphereGreat Hall South · Conference Day #2
I'll be sharing an abbreviated history of building Graze, our own product's theory of action and how it slots into our more broad theory of how the AT Protocol disrupts the existing social layer of the web. We'll move into successes and challenges with fundraising, what we learned during that process and what others should know. We'll wrap with our own theories on development in 2026, how we fully move beyond the "skeuomorph" era of ATProto.

I had the privilege of discussing Blacksky and AT Protocol at several different college campuses, conference venues and other settings along with webinars and doing user research.

Who owns the group chat? Building collaborative spaces on ATProto
10:30 AM - 11:00 AM
Traditional social platforms centralize control of community spaces—the platform owns your group, your members, and your data. On ATProto, ownership, governance, and moderation become explicit design decisions. This talk explores building shared resources on a decentralized protocol—from data synchronization to governance models—drawing from real experience building community features and examples from other ATProto apps.
