Abstracting the Appview Workshop

2pm – 4pm

Chad Miller

Chad's workshop dives into AppViews, what they are, how they work, and the different ways to implement them. He'll explore how tools like quickslice can abstract away the complexity so you can stay focused on your Lexicons and UI/UX. We'll also look at additional tools, including Tap, AIP, Constellation, and more, covering approaches from getting started all the way to production. Bring your questions. Many answers are 'it depends', shaped by your specific product and Lexicon design.

Verified Human Users, game changer in the atmosphere

4pm – 5pm

Jan Lindblad

Bots are swarming on most social media, and dominating in some. Social media has become asocial. How can we bring sanity and social exchange back again? W Social makes a strong bet on verified human users, meaning passport scanning in order to get a W Social account. But do we always want to know who is behind every account? We propose a model with a user information firewall. One side knows exactly who each user is, but not which social media account belongs to her. The other knows everything about the user's friends, likes and followers, but not her true identity.

What futures can we build together?

2pm – 4pm

Arushi Bandi, Ivan Sigal, Christian Jacobs

In this workshop, we will ask: what are new social modalities that we can build with the affordances of ATProtocol? This is a cross-disciplinary workshop with people from all tracks to ideate and co-design together possibilities for new social and communal modes on the protocol (not focusing on implementation of ideas). Attendees will walk away with an expansion of future possibilities of what it looks like to be online.

Get feedback on your project and see what's growing! Recent talks about onboarding in the Atmosphere have drawn calls for more user research. This workshop from Germ's CEO Tessa Brown and founding engineer Anna Mistele is an opportunity for builders in the ecosystem to gain immediate insights by conducting research for their products, and for attendees to see new products in action. We're not experts, but rather fellow builders making space for us to learn from each other as a community! Supported by Tynan.
