Get set up
One identity gets you into every station below — pick one:
- pds.rip — a public test PDS, zero commitment. Good if you just want to poke around today.
- Aster — the new science PDS, via invite code. Good if you want this to still exist after today.
Aster signup — coming with the launch
Aster is the ATScience PDS Hosting project, led by Emily Hunt — not something built for this page. The link above goes live once that project launches; check back closer to October if it's not there yet.
The 4 stations
Self-select once you're set up. Code and full detail for stations 2 and 4 are linked; 1 and 3 are other co-organizers' territory — listed here for the full picture, not built from this page.
1. Personal Research Website
Build a personal site on the science PDS. Form-based generator, no code required.
2. Live Data Streaming
Raspberry Pi + sensor → Nebra → an ATProto record → a Matadisco-shaped viewer reading it back out.
code ready
3. BlueSky for Science
Feeds, lists, and starter packs via HappyView.
4. ATProto Bots
A bandit-driven bot that decides how to respond, not just that it should — extracted from a real, working production agent. Start here.

Primary: github.com/ATProto-Science/iosp-hacking-stations. Mirrored to Tangled for an ATProto-native git host alongside the legacy one — clone from whichever you already have set up, same content either way.
