We're hosting an all day community hack session in East Williamsburg on Friday, August 22nd for the ATProto community, plus an evening social of presentations and networking.

Register

The tickets are pay-what-you-can, with a suggested donation of $10, but no one will be turned away for lack of funds. Paying more helps pay for the space and meals for all, and for future AT Community Fund events.

Thanks to Hex House members for hosting us! The art studio & community space is in a 4000 sq ft warehouse in East Williamsburg, close to Cooper Park. You'll receive the full studio address after registering.

Hack Day

We'll gather at Hex House in the morning starting at 10am and do a mini round of introductions on what people are interested in and spend time in small group discussions, demos, and hacking.

Some of the topics of interest include:

the new OAuth scopes release - how does it work, what can we do with it, what questions do we have?
Private Data - what are use cases and requirements, what are some approaches to this
Ecosystem event planning - local NYC meetups, 2026 plans for FOSDEM etc.
IndieSky topics, Rudy's Blacksky and the independent rsky codebase and interoperating

And anything about learning how to use, hack, build, or experiment with ATProto with a group of people interested in the same thing!

Everyone is welcome to come and hack on a project of their own, dig into different elements of ATProto and share knowledge, and/or propose a group discussion.

The evening social starting at 6pm will include a number of planned talks & speakers as well as small introductions and demos of ATProto apps, including:
