Atmosphere Community March 5, 2026

Pieter @montoulieu.dev is coming to AtmosphereConf and bringing some custom atproto things for everyone to play with!

Pieter is not giving a talk at the conference (he told us he just wants to listen and propose a talk for next year's conference), but he is a prolific atproto developer with a number of unique apps.

Skytube

Skytube @skytube.video, a YouTube like interface for watching, saving, and discovering videos posted to Bluesky. But also Blacksky, YouTube, and more.

Nimbus

Nimbus @nimbus.vision is a spatial Bluesky client for visionOS, available via testflight for trying out on your Apple Vision Pro headset.

Aether OS

Aether OS @aetheros.computer is a Cyberpunk ATProto desktop environment. App suite + Substrate container for tap/goat indexing and CLI tools.

Not yet launched, but you can see a demo video.

Beacon Bits

Beacon Bits @beaconbits.app lets you pin in your photos & posts to the map, tag friends, and cross-post to your atproto account. Using the community atgeo lexicon, it also means that venues you have in Beacon Bits can be used to create events in Smoke Signal.

One more thing: Anomaly on UBC Campus!

Some of you who follow the @beaconbits.app account may already be aware that an ANOMALY is forming on the UBC campus where AtmosphereConf is taking place.

More will be revealed closer to the conference, and anyone with an atproto account can participate with a web app on their phone.

Thanks @montoulieu.dev for joining us at AtmosphereConf, and for preparing some fun experiences for us all!

Meet developers like Pieter @montoulieu.dev at AtmosphereConf, the global community conference for the atproto community. Join us March 26th -> March 29th, in Vancouver, Canada. Buy your tickets and see all the talks and activities at https://atmosphereconf.org
