atmosphere.community#
The community hub for the AT Protocol ecosystem. Aggregates blog posts from Offprint, upcoming events from Smoke Signal and community accounts, and links to regional AT Protocol communities and apps.
Built with Astro and deployed to GitHub Pages.
Getting started#
npm install
npm run dev
The dev server starts at localhost:4321. The site fetches live data from ATProto at build time (blog posts, events), so you'll need internet access for a full build.
Commands#
| Command | Action |
|---|---|
npm install |
Install dependencies |
npm run dev |
Start local dev server at localhost:4321 |
npm run build |
Build production site to ./dist/ |
npm run preview |

Deployment#
The site deploys to GitHub Pages automatically via the workflow in .github/workflows/deploy.yml. It runs on:
- Push to
main - Every 6 hours (cron) to pick up new blog posts and events
- Manual trigger via
workflow_dispatch

Adding content#
Add a new community#
Edit src/data/communities.yml and add an entry:
- name: ATProto My City
handle: mycity.atproto.camp
location: My City, ST
description: My City ATProtocol user group
bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/mycity.atproto.camp
Community accounts are also used to fetch events — any community.lexicon.calendar.event records on the account's PDS will automatically appear on the Events page and homepage.
