It happens. No knock on Bluesky. It has happened to periwinkle.social and it will again. The network will be more successful and resilient when more and more PDSes are decoupled from apps. That's all we do: fully managed PDSes, decoupled from apps w/ backups, monitoring, disaster recovery and more.
First 25 people to use code PWKL3MONTHS get 3 months free on our Basic plan. No catch just wanted to do something for the early folks. Use code PWKL3MONTHS at checkout.
Busy week at periwinklle.social! fixed a few bugs, promo codes at checkout, pricing labels updated based on your feedback, and your authenticator app will now show "Periwinkle" instead of a URL, and zero-downtime PDS deployments and better backups. #ATProtocol #PDS

Good catch.Meant to ship this fix yesterday but got a little distracted. PR is up now. that label was describing internal plumbing instead of the actual feature. It's real-time monitoring and alerts via relay event streams. Thanks for the flag.
Hey! Early product decision to keep the surface area small while we spin things up. Sounds like we should reconsider. Will look at it and circle back! 😀
Fair enough - the early plans page had some rough edges and we've cleaned it up since. It's a year of real work and it's getting better every week. Always open to specific feedback. Really hoping to add something to the world here.

Could be! Somewhat encouraged so far though. Time will tell.
Gotta start somewhere! It's day one and we are letting folks in slowly....We'll keep working at it! 😊
Fair point if we were talking about handles! you could check that! But the number is early access signups, not active accounts. Two different things. 😀

🐛 few quick bug fixes
📃 better docs.
Ship, listen, improve, repeat. That's how we want to operate this. 🛠️
What a first day for periwinkle.social! 🎉
Hundreds of signups, TechCrunch coverage, and a wave of feedback from the AT Protocol community.

You're right that people have options. What we are trying to focus on is the stuff that's easy to overlook until you need it - automated backups, disaster recovery, encryption at rest, monitoring. The infrastructure work that keeps your data safe without you having to think about it. 😀
For a lot of people, Bluesky's free PDS is great. We're for people who want their data backed up independently, on infrastructure they chose, with the ability to walk away from any app without losing anything. The free tier has limits but it's a real PDS with real backups - not a demo.
You're right, that was my quote. I could have worded it better. Eurosky is doing great work and I didn't mean to dismiss them. We're building different things in my view but "nobody else is doing this" was sloppy on my part.
Teams and orgs are definitely a big part of it, but we think individual users and heavy social media users will want their own managed solution too separate from the apps, with real backups and some of the same tooling, recognizing their data shouldn't depend on any single app sticking around 😀
Thanks for checking it out! Lots more coming! Lots more to build and we're grateful for the feedback from this community. It is shaping the roadmap as we speak.
Eurosky is great. I actually spoke with them before launch and we're rooting for each other. More providers means more choices, and more choices makes the whole network stronger. That's the whole point 😀

Thanks for reporting this! It was a bug on our end. the Post button wasn't recognizing your handle was ready because of a loading timing issue. We're pushed a fix because it could happen again. Should be fixed in about 15 min. #raceconditions
