Skylite

A read-only, non-algorithmic window into Bluesky/ATProto built for kids — Skylite = Bluesky + lite. Strip out posting, replying, and DMs and you remove most of the open-social child-safety surface while still offering a curated window into global curiosity. Identity is rooted in a DID the child ultimately controls, so the account is portable and the guardian relationship is a handoff, not a lock-in.

Status: idea capture, not verified engineering. This repo currently holds captured concept + design thinking distilled from brainstorming transcripts. Claims flagged verify need confirmation against current ATProto/PDS/iOS docs before anything is built on them.

Contents

File What it holds
CONCEPT.md Product concept + branding — read-only pitch, Sky-Channels, Scrapbook, Sky-Shield moderation, co-viewing, the name/visual/tagline decision.
IDEAS.md Technical idea set — DID/did:plc identity & graduation handoff, client-side feed merge, PWA hardening on iOS, the passkey ≠ re-login distinction.
PROVENANCE.md Raw-artifact manifest — which transcript each doc came from and its preservation status.
seeds/transcripts/raw/ Preserved raw transcripts behind the distilled docs.

Provenance

Filed following the CroftC intake discipline: raw transcripts are preserved verbatim-faithful under seeds/, distilled thinking references its source, and PROVENANCE.md tracks preservation status (including any known gaps). See PROVENANCE.md for the current ledger.
