ATProto Still Blocks Decentralized Review Apps, Says Puppet Founder
Luke Kanies, founder of Puppet, attended the Local First Conference and tested ATProto for a decentralized review platform. He finds the protocol’s current design blocks data ownership and interoperability needed for apps that could replace Yelp, Goodreads, and similar services. He concludes ATProto isn’t yet ready for a truly public, community‑driven app ecosystem.
