WHERE IT'S AT://
Summary from the TLDR newsletter
All servers speaking the AT protocol are part of 'the atmosphere', a web of hyperlinked JSON. Each piece of JSON in the atmosphere has its own at://URI. This post looks at the exact process of resolving an at:// URI. The AT protocol is fundamentally an abstraction over HTTP, DNS, and JSON. It turns the web into a place where content belongs to its creators, not to the apps that display it, by putting users in an authority position, separating identity from hosting, and making data portable.
