Partner Apps and Blueprints

Airglow is about connecting the dots in the Atmosphere. Every action you take in one app can ripple out and create value in another, so the whole network ends up worth more than the sum of its apps. Partner Apps The goal is to empower end users: take interoperability to the next level and help people connect their activities across the various Atmosphere apps. Getting there means working directly with app developers, building trust and powerful workflows together. That's why we recently introduced Partner Apps. As a Partner App, you get a direct channel to your users through Blueprints, plus your own numbers on how each one is doing: how many people cloned it and how often it runs. Those numbers are for you. Airglow only ever acts on public records in the AT Protocol, so there's no hidden tracking going on. App accounts like @bookhive.buzz, @kipclip.com and @sifa.id sign up on Airglow and we flag them as partners. It's a manual step on our side for now, but once the community app lexicons give us a clean list of app accounts, we'll make it automatic. And there's no lock-in: Airglow is open source and easy to self-host, so nothing you build here is stuck with us. Blueprints Blueprints are automation templates meant to be duplicated. They show up in the gallery under your app's name and logo, ready for any of your users to clone to their own account in one click. A few partners have already published theirs. Bookhive posts to Bluesky when you finish a book. Kipclip bookmarks and annotates the links from any Bluesky post you like. Sifa posts to Bluesky when someone endorses you. One action in their app, more value somewhere else in the network, none of it built or maintained by them. That last part is the point. When you publish a Blueprint, you're telling your users this automation is safe, it works, and you stand behind it. It's an endorsement they can act on with a single click, and you never touch the plumbing. Publishing one is simple: build the automation, tick "Mark as Blueprint", and it lands in the gallery under your name. Conclusion In a nutshell, Airglow now has a solid technical foundation. The focus for the next few weeks and months is to explore more complex use cases and work with app maintainers to figure out how we can serve their users best. Alongside that, we want Airglow to look and feel more professional, so we're working with a brand designer to fully revamp the Airglow brand and voice. It should be ready to unveil in the first half of June, and at the same time we'll ship the new Blueprints gallery. Our goal is clear: we want Airglow to be featured on tools like Eurosky and at-store, not as a regular app, but as a meta-app. A piece of infrastructure in the Atmosphere that people and app developers can rely on to build complex workflows. We're already onboarding Partner Apps, so if you want in, reach out to @there-hugo.dev or @airglow.run on Bluesky.
