About Frontpage
Frontpage is a link aggregator in the style of Hacker News, built on the AT Protocol used by Bluesky. Users post links, vote them up and comment, and posts are attributed to their AT Protocol handles, so an existing Bluesky account can be used to take part.
The front page lists submissions with vote counts and comment threads and can be read without logging in. It suits people on the AT Protocol network who want a shared, chronological place for links outside of a feed algorithm.
Strengths
- Uses AT Protocol identities such as Bluesky handles
- Simple link-and-comment format
- Readable without an account
