Right now, my focus is on making the iOS app as solid and feature-complete as possible. As a solo iOS developer, splitting attention across platforms early would compromise quality on both. Once the iOS version is in a great place, I plan to explore bringing Skyswipe to Android.

Planned features for Skyswipe v1.1: • Multi-feeds: combine multiple feeds into one for more control • Livestreaming: go live w/ iPhone camera, interact with chatters in real time • Photo support: add photos section to profiles and browse an instagram style feed More updates soon, stay tuned! 🙂

Skyswipe is now available on the iOS App Store. apps.apple.com/us/app/skysw...

Well done! Looks very clean.

Just submitted my first-ever app for review. Soon Skyswipe will be available on the App Store 😁 #ios #skyswipe #buildinpublic

Thanks to the beta tester who suggested this feature a few days ago Considering adding the option to use bsky lists as a feed soon

Skyswipe Beta 1.2 (Build 6): Users can now add the author of the current video card to a bluesky list using the share sheet → “add to list” Users can now view their lists (no profile links) and remove people from a list in the settings.

Thanks for the mention!

Fixed. Sorry for the inconvenience!

Just became aware of a bug with oauth and logging in. Fix will be up soon in 5 minutes

Skyswipe Beta 1.1 (Build 11) deepens conversations with Reddit-style threaded comments! Features: • Reply at any depth and keep discussions visible • Tap a parent comment to collapse its entire thread • Like comments with a tap ❤️

Skyswipe Beta 1.1 (Build 11) now supports custom user feeds! Features: • Enable “Custom Feeds” in Settings (add a feed on bsky.app) • Access your Bluesky account's saved feeds right in the feed menu picker. • Note: Non-default video feeds may be prone to instability

What are your favorite video only feeds on Bluesky?

appreciate the positive feedback and thanks for joining!

Sometimes you come across a video you just need to bookmark. Skyswipe lets you do exactly that, with saved videos only one tap away in your profile tab, along with reposts and likes. Phase 1 beta testing is now live: your feedback helps build what’s next.

The big difference with Bluesky is that their store is public. Anyone can make an app and see your publicly available Bluesky data. So if you link your Bluesky profile to Skyswipe, all of your followers (among other data) will automatically transfer over! There is no need to rebuild a following.

Custom feed support coming soon. In the meantime, you can switch to the "following" feed so that you only see videos from accounts you're following.

We know how annoying it can be to get logged out every time and spent a lot of time making sure you stay logged in - until you choose to log out. Test the Skyswipe beta on iOS today, the polished TikTok alternative that ATProto users deserve. testflight.apple.com/join/QbKx1amM

If you're looking for the ability to repost videos and bookmark posts (among other things), Skyswipe is the app you're looking for. Beta available on iOS today :D testflight.apple.com/join/QbKx1amM

Skyswipe Beta 1.1 - Build 7 New: • Personalized content settings now apply across the app. Videos that don’t match your preferences are either hidden or come with a warning. • Added a new warning screen that gently blocks sensitive videos and lets users choose whether to view them. cont.

Appreciate that a lot! Skyswipe is attempting to redefine and raise the bar on what a smooth video-first experience can feel like on #AtProto.

From what I’ve gathered, app passwords aren’t supposed to work with OAuth. Acc. to bsky team, OAuth is actually an alternative to app passwords, and expected to replace App pw entirely. Graysky doesnt use OAuth, handles your credentials directly so using the legacy app password flow makes sense

Skyswipe Beta 1.1 - Build 6 New in this build: • Mute/block UI flows in Profiles and Settings • Videos with muted tags or words are now auto-hidden • Added “Content Filters” options in Settings Thanks to @camronjk.com for the suggestions. Suggestion to shipped: 13 hrs Keep the ideas coming 👍

Looking for a TikTok sounds library/service thing. Wonder how copyright works on this

This is 100% doable and it wouldn’t even take very long to implement. Just grab the user’s Bluesky preferences containing their muted words and filter out videos that contain any of the words on the client side. I’ll keep you updated!

These are excellent suggestions that I will be adding to my dev backlog. Let me know if you have any more

There needs to be incentive for everyday people to post videos. It has to be fun and engaging process, and there also needs to be that feeling having your videos be seen. We need the "anyone can go viral" vibes of TikTok for any alternative to it to really take off

Skyswipe on iOS is what you're looking for :)

Thanks for the wonderful work! I look forward to AT Protocol everything!

so far the only (besides for Popsky) AT protocol iOS app I've seen with a smooth and nice UX, and the only video Bluesky client that doesn't have UX that randomly freaks out at the slightest interaction

Glad to hear it! Let me know if there's anything you want to see developed - features, bug fixes, etc - that would elevate the experience to the next level. Feedback is important 😊

Also, users log in with OAuth2 directly through the bluesky website, using their extensive OAuth2 Protocol, so we don't ever even see your credentials. Thanks for the great questions! I am working on a detailed website with details and FAQ right now, so this really helps.

Skyswipe is built entirely on the AT Protocol and uses the Bluesky API. All data, content, actions are passed directly to the Bluesky servers. Right now we don't have our own backend and we don't store any data. I will publish a full privacy policy when we release on the App store.

Decentralization and transparency call for customizable feeds. Black-box algorithms don't make sense, unless that's what the user asked for. Let's not repeat old mistakes.

An AtProto TikTok Alternative deserves user controlled feeds. While Skyswipe only supports 3 feeds right now, it is a high priority feature to add custom user controlled feeds for any feed, not just 3. Black-box algorithms and decentralization doesnt make sense (unless that's what the user wants)

Looks like there might be a higher proportion of Android users on bluesky. Is my intuition correct?

Not exactly instagram, but Skyswipe offers a polished TikTok-parallel experience. Should we add support for photos too? 🤔

skyswipe.io has a very minimal web app for watching Bsky videos in the TikTok format, if anyone's interested right now. However, be aware there is a bug currently that delays the initial loading (No videos found) and some minor parts like auth need a fix. Coming soon. iOS beta is also open now btw

I'm curious if my iOS TestFlight installation is available in non-US countries. If any beta testers installed from another country, please let me know!

Thought about this "for you page" problem for a while. Haven't implemented anything yet, but users who are looking for more personalized feed might be disappointed with the current state of ATProto feeds. Classic data/privacy trade-off between transparency/decentralization and custom tailored UX

If you've tried skylight but want a smoother UX, transparent algorithms, and generally a more satisfying experience, check out the Skyswipe beta on iOS. Oh and we've got DMs and bookmarks too.

If you’re on iOS and run into sign-in / authentication issues or just want a smoother UX, check out the Skyswipe iOS beta. We have everything you're used to - and more.
