adenosine: enthusiast-grade implementation of atproto.com in Rust

Status: it doesn't really work yet and will eat your data

This is a hobby project to implement components of the proposed Bluesky AT Protocol (atproto.com) for federated social media, as initially announced in Fall 2022. This might be interesting for other folks to take a spin with, but isn't intended to host real content from real people. The goal is to think through how the protocol might work by implementing it.

Components:

  • adenosine (README): common library code
  • adenosine-cli (README, manpage): command-line client (adenosine)
  • adenosine-pds (README, manpage): "small world" personal data server implementation, with data in sqlite
