Would be great if one could upload blobs with this interface.

yeah that was one of the articles that got me curious about atproto. very clever hack.

like the article mentions, blobs are little different in the sense that they can't be independently added to the PDS. there needs to be a another record created right after the blob upload that references it. Otherwise the blob gets deleted. https://atproto.com/specs/blob#blob-lifecycle

sounds like an interesting feature to add, will check on how feasible it is (along with some possible guardrails to not abuse the system). thanks for the suggestion!
