Give me some space!

Part 1: Taproot can explore atproto spaces now (alpha)

September 08, 2026

I've been debating for a while whether to include spaces capability within taproot or to keep taproot just for public data and to visualize spaces as its own thing .

For now, if you have a spaces enabled account, you can login to Taproot to see the spaces.

⚠️ These screens and features will be updated as and when the spaces specs evolve.

Please reach out to report any bugs/issues.

Spaces tab

A new tab shows up next to collections with all the spaces you have access to or have written to.

Spaces within the same domain are grouped together.

It also shows who wrote each record and allows you to filter by writers.

Writing a record

You can also create a new record within the space you have access to, from the new taproot composer.

By the way, you can combine at.new + spaces to have private bookmarks within your space.
