Germ Is a (Protocol-Native, End-to-End Encrypted) Social Media Messenger
We spent the end of March in Vancouver at the Atmosphere Conference, and being with fellow builders in the protocol ecosystem powering Bluesky and 1000s of other apps solidified something about our place in it: Germ DM is a social media messenger. We’re like Signal, rebuilt to talk to your friends from social.
More Support for Your Germ DM Button
A month ago when we announced that Germ now launches directly from Bluesky user profiles, we also shared our developer guidance for bringing this feature into your own AT Protocol app. Since the launch, a few teams have asked us for images and suggested language for describing Germ.
AT Protocol Devs Can Now Implement a Germ Button
Last year, we began testing our end-to-end encrypted (E2EE) messenger Germ DM's integration with AT Protocol in a private beta. The integration used a link in users’ Bluesky/Blacksky bios that served two purposes: to prove the binding of a public key to their atproto accounts, and to let people quickly start a conversation from viewing an atproto profile.
