Alrighty, so I’ve got user details imported (currently just handle, name, description, and user follow count atm). Next step is to get that user’s posts in there & add the fancy thread detail view when looking at a particular post.

So according to a post on the platform, the Bluesky Social app is currently undergoing the review process. So expect a debut sometime today/tomorrow. I think that it’ll still be in public beta, as you need an invite code to signup. However, the app will be viewable.

Alright, so I have a “feed” thing imported. Basically it just grabs the most recent post from each cached user. I could do some sorting using ISO timestamps, but that could lead to a feed that changes post interpolation due to interlaced user activity. I’d say this system works fine though.

Here is a screenshot of the current client progress. I don't have a feed implemented yet, but I've imported user DIDs and have successfully implemented a post grabber/a user data retriever <-[SOON].

Currently working on the wrapper! Hopefully, if all goes well, I can get it out tmr. There’s a lot of api methods I need to implement and whatnot.

So Bluesky Social has over 1 million signups. Because of that, I have some serious doubts on whether it will be released anytime soon. For that reason, I will continue with my objective to get a post client working. Won’t be anything complex, just enough to show user info and posts/replies a user has made.

One can only hope.. that Bluesky Social will come out this week…

You know when a huge weight gets lifted off your shoulders? Afterwards you feel like you can actually fly, lol.

I can feel the hype. Have I said that before?

Ok, so I just checked and it looks like there’s a small chance the Bluesky Social app will get on the app store by the end of the week. 🤞 So I’ll hold out on doing an api wrapper for the time being.
