bluesky-social/social-app: The Bluesky Social application for Web, iOS, and Android

Posted by jpluimers on 2026/07/21

Took me a while to notice this is open source: [Wayback/Archive] bluesky-social/social-app: The Bluesky Social application for Web, iOS, and Android

Via [Wayback/Archive] Gergely Orosz on Twitter: “Wow. The other Blue site open sourced their app (The protocol is already open sourced) Unlike Twitter’s recommendation algorithm that is a fork (and not the real thing), both these are the prod thing. This developing in the open is new, and encouraging! “

GitHub – breakzplatform/downloader.notx.blue

Posted by jpluimers on 2026/07/14

Interesting, as this seems to handle all actions client-side: [Wayback/Archive] GitHub – breakzplatform/downloader.notx.blue

Hosting is at two sites:

The code is a tiny HTML wrapper around about 1000 lines of JavaScript (plus a few hundred lines of minified [Wayback/Archive] GitHub – ffmpegwasm/ffmpeg.wasm: FFmpeg for browser, powered by WebAssembly JavaScript code). Impressive!

I wasn’t in any of the clouds (:

Auteur Jean Marc van Tol van Fokke en Sukke stopt op BSKY: …. (@jmvtol.bsky.social) — Bluesky

Posted by jpluimers on 2026/01/31

Meer info: [Wayback/Archive] …. (@jmvtol.bsky.social) — Bluesky

Het bericht over de aanvaring tussen Jean Marc van Tol en het BSKY moderatie-team – hij kwam op de blacklist vanwege een bericht waarvan het op zijn minst discutabel is of hij daarvoor 4 strafpunten hoort te krijgen met daardoor automatisch een 3-daagse ban – stop hij op dat medium.

Kennelijk mag je daar niet uiten dat je blij zou zijn wanneer Trump hemelt: dat wordt geschaard onder dood wensen¹.

Het Fokke en Sukke account is er inmiddels leeg: [Wayback/Archive] Fokke & Sukke (@fokkesukke.bsky.social) — Bluesky

Maar zowel Jean Marc als Fokke en Sukke blijven actief op onder andere Mastodon, zie de linkjes in [Wayback/Archive] Post by @wiert.bsky.social — Bluesky:

All of Bluesky’s Features and How to Use Them

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/11/21

I wonder what has changed since this November 2024 article: [Wayback/Archive] All of Bluesky’s Features and How to Use Them

Keyboard shortcuts in social media: Twitter still tops is; BSKY needs a plugin; Mastodon is buggy

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/06/19

One reason I still use Twitter is that it trumps keyboard shortcuts over other social media I use.

Bridgy Fed – bridges to/from BlueSky, Fediverse (including Mastodon) and many web-sites

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/01/29

I bumped into [Wayback/Archive] Bridgy Fed a while ago. The highlights:

Source is written in Python and HTML. It is available from [Wayback/Archive] GitHub – snarfed/bridgy-fed: 🌉 A bridge between decentralized social network protocols.

The blog post re-introducing it: [Wayback/Archive] Re-introducing Bridgy Fed | snarfed.org.

There is docs too: [Wayback/Archive] Bridgy Fed: docs

Bridgy Fed is a kind of a spin-off from the longer existing [Wayback/Archive] Bridgy which has documentation at [Wayback/Archive] About – Bridgy and source code at [Wayback/Archive] GitHub – snarfed/bridgy: 📣 Connects your web site to social media. Likes, retweets, mentions, cross-posting, and more….

Via [Wayback/Archive] Ionica Smeets (@ionica.mathstodon.xyz.ap.brid.gy) — Bluesky who’s primary social media presence is at [Wayback/Archive] Ionica Smeets (@ionica@mathstodon.xyz) – Mathstodon.

I created my [Wayback/Archive] wiert.me profile – Bridgy Fed which resulted in these two entities (that by the time you read this should have some updates):
