atproto-ecosystem-map#

Dense zones show competition. Empty zones show opportunity.

What this is#

A 2D map of the ATProto ecosystem for end-user apps, plotted on two axes:

  • Y: User Behavior — Communicate / Discover / Create / Analyze / Moderate / Manage
  • X: Audience Breadth — Everyone / Community / Creators / Power Users
  • Maturity (color) — Established (blue) / Growing (green) / Emerging (orange) / Experimental (red)

The map makes gaps visible. Where the grid is empty, no one has built yet.

Design decisions#

  • End-User Apps only. Dev Tools deserve a separate map with different axes.
  • No App Store. No rankings, reviews, stars, or download counts. Every app occupies equal space.
  • Opt-in listing. Developers choose to be on the map.
  • UI layer, not data layer. This map consumes data that a community app lexicon produces. It complements directories like atproto.garden and BlueskyDirectory, not competes with them.

Status#

Interactive prototype (single HTML file, 31 real apps). Data is illustrative, not exhaustive.
