Building teal.fm, an AT Protocol music data network

Matt Morris is building teal.fm, a social music product for owning, tracking, and sharing listening history on AT Protocol. His work spans Rust backend services, PostgreSQL/SQLx data systems, custom AT Protocol lexicons, Expo/React Native apps, and developer tooling for generated TypeScript and Rust protocol types.

Teal is designed around portable music data: scrobbles live in user-controlled AT Protocol repositories rather than a closed service. The public repo includes the app stack, appview services, ingestion workers, CAR import flows, and lexicons for plays, profiles, feeds, and stats. A third-party multi-scrobbler release has already added teal.fm as an ATProto scrobble client/source, showing outside ecosystem interest while the product is still pre-public-launch.

He is based in the Nashville area and studies Computer Science at Middle Tennessee State University.
