Chive: Decentralized preprints with ATProto

Assoc. Prof. Aaron White (Uni. Rochester), Chive

Chive is a decentralized preprint service featuring threaded review, formal endorsements, and a community-curated field taxonomy—all as portable ATProto records users own. Chive provides a rich plugin interface, making it imminently extensible as the ATmosphere grows. It currently provides builtin plugins for integration with existing ATProto services, such as Semble, Leaflet, and WhiteWind.

Chive will be launching a call for alpha testers in the next week or so, with a plan to roll out an open beta around the time of the workshop.
