Someone could make a backup script wrapped in a GUI, but then people would have to see the "need" in order to start using it.

The bigger danger would be AT Protocol losing its biggest contributor. Unless another VC backed team appeared to fill their shoes, the protocol would stagnate and communities would slowly deteriorate. Hope is critical early on in a protocol's rise to prominence.


These services already exist as well as multiple copies of the entire network.

My hope is that we find another path forward (!VC) for most apps on ATProto. Small social with lifestyle funding (sustainable indie) is what I dream of.


The lack of composability makes this a hard no for me


Just don't mistake prototyping for doing the thing.

Good enough is a self limiting fallacy.

A prototype failing to attract fans doesn't prove a lack of a market for the job the prototype attempts to perform. It only proves the prototype, as it stands, lacks something.

Beware quitting early. All good builders do.


I found Altcha just recently. I'm curious what people think of it. Are there caveats compared to Google Recaptcha or Cloudflare Turnstile? Please share your thoughts.

when I had this idea, I knew I had to make it. launched it back in November to family & friends.

10 new questions each day. predict the most popular answer. one miss and you're out. give it a try! do you actually understand the normies?


It's too easy to "cheat" by panning around until a word toggles in the list, effectively telling you which corner of the screen the word can be found in


That doesn't sound right. Have you seen documentation on this?


Important to note that it's not a dichotomy as long as you're not an "extremist" of either side. Build for yourself and a big market. Take pride in competing at a high level. If you view "hustling" as an 'all work, no play' experience, you're engaged in absolutist thinking.


Tangential: I was recently wishing that bitwise flags had better support in Postgres. For now, bools are just easier to work with
