That’s right, cowgirls. πŸ€ πŸ„

Germ has the strongest authentication in the atmosphere.

So when you send that secure message, you’re sure it’s going to the right place.

Wow! A major transition at Bluesky as seasoned CEO and investor Toni Schneider takes the reins.

This ecosystem is onboarding 1M users a month. Deep congratulations to Jay for the movement she’s led and will continue to steward. Excited to work with and learn from Toni in this next chapter!

Ever notice we never asked for your phone number or e-mail address?

We don’t even know your @.

Your information is yours to give, not ours to track. If we need something, we'll ask.

No, we are a separate app.

Hi et bonjour! We are a standalone companion app for Bluesky or any atproto app you are using.

The current plan is to remain a separate app. This protects your security--our app is built for end-to-end encryption, and messages are strongly authenticated to your handle.

Germ for atproto has been live for 3 weeks!

We’re keeping πŸ‘€ on your comments as we prioritize next features. But first up has been making sure all of you can log in.

We’re working hard to clean up logging in with atproto. We’ll keep you posted on our progress.

Got questions? We’re right here. 🌱

working on it super hard!

we're doing improvements in the backend rn so no features in the next couple releases. but with strong auth to your bluesky handle hopefully easing the friction of connecting right away!

Germ encrypts your messages all the way from one *end*, your phone, to the other *end,* your friend’s.

That’s end-to-end encryption. So no one can listen except the person you’re talking to.

oui, sera possible! it's not coming super soon but we look forward to building large groups with channels, and voice and video calls 😍

what's a DM without a notification??

btw, you can set notifications on germ by the user you're talking to, and also by the card you shared 🧐
