they should make an escape room called “social media startup circa 2025”. would be equal parts impossible and equal parts terrifying

I can’t overstate how big this is going to be for @skylight.social. We’re leaning in to feeds but building custom video feeds has always been tough because the content is opaque. What is this video about? And Graze just solves this by transcribing all of the video posts 🤯

@reedharmeyer.bsky.social's Football Channel is looking great! Listening into the audio to create the highlight reel

Feeds thrive on context - and we just added a ton more. Graze now lets feed builders filter content based on quote posts, parent posts, author & mentioned user metadata, *and* text transcriptions from videos! More freedom to our feed builders, and way better feeds for the ecosystem! Lets see a few:

What makes Bluesky different: it’s open source, so anyone can contribute to building the experience they want. And even if you build a whole new app, the protocol means you can migrate with your data, identity, and relationships intact.

Things that aren’t working in #skylight: 1. User’s posts/reposts as a Feed. We thought reposts would be an easy way for someone to build a feed. Instead a feed of posts/reposts seem to give everyone the ick. What do y’all think we should change?

There seems to be a growing cult of people worshipping the iPhone 13 Pro Max. There are videos with 100k+ likes about Apple’s trade-in policy that are conspiracies like “why do they want this phone back so bad?”

@tannerlinsley.com I think I’ve got a good use case for Tanstack DB and I’d love to get your thoughts. It’s an #atproto video app built on @expo.dev & @cloudflare.social I’d like to build a partial sync system where the app syncs with its Durable Object which syncs with atproto + services.

The more content there is the more important curation becomes.

I've disabled invite codes for signing up or migrating to the blacksky.app Personal Data Server (PDS). The invite codes were necessary to prevent en masse bot signups. We've since turned on captchas and added rate limiting to the server. You no longer need to DM me or email [email protected]

@pfrazee.com GIFs are videos now? This kind of messes up video feeds, don’t you think?

“Where are you going?” “To Nice” “Tunis, got it.”

Custom Feed Discovery is now working on @skylight.social! This is OG Videos+ courtesy of @byarielm.fyi where it’s all original content all the time. To ensure all the Discovery feeds are SFW we’re currently using a hardcoded list so let me know what to add or remove!

I don’t want a baddie I want a goodie

Can everyone like, calm down and give the Bluesky team one day to even read the news before packing and leaving?…

Bug Fixes Update!! Biggest win by @reedharmeyer.bsky.social is the app no longer crashes! 🥲 Hallelujah!! Shout out to the folks who helped us find and solve these bugs over email, in comments, and on canny.io! Appreciate you all so much!!

@expo.dev fyi passing undefined to Image.prefetch causes a fatal error. If you guys could just do a check for an invalid argument on the JS side and throw the error there that would be great.

A fix for the crashing with @skylight.social is in the App Store. I can’t imagine a worse bug than a production-only crash-on-start bug that corrupts the user’s authentication state so it keeps crashing even after you fix the bug!

we had a debate about whether this was good marketing or not the first ever social network where your account can be literally, physically stolen

🔴 LIVE https://stream.place/iame.li BACK HOME I MISSED YOU ALL. Fixing Skylight crashes, Iroh, segment metadata

@iame.li fixed the iOS crashing bug!!! That’ll be in App Store review tomorrow and hopefully available in the morning.

After a perfect release, Reed and I are retiring 🙌🏽🎉 Just kidding 😅 If you’d like to submit a feature request or a bug report for @skylight.social, you can go to: skylight-social.canny.io And, as always, thanks for being here and helping us make Skylight better 😊

had a great time hanging out with @iame.li @natalie.sh @buildwithtori.com @reedharmeyer.bsky.social at the lot with the successful launch of @skylight.social LIVE with @stream.place last minute devops fail and could not show you guys whynot.tube but now you can at least join the waitlist 😅

Have a feature request? See a bug that needs fixing? Go to skylight-social.canny.io to leave feedback and report bugs! Upvote and downvote the features you want 😊

Come check out the first LIVE stream on @skyligh.social 🙌🏽 Shout out to @thelotradio.com, a non-profit radio station that champions DJs and creators! Thanks for letting us use your space and for being the first account on LIVE!!

Quickly stopped by the @skylight.social launch party to see @buildwithtori.com, @reedharmeyer.bsky.social, @iame.li, and the gang! LGA ✈️ DAY w/ @mattie.thegem.city (🥲 bye NYC)

It's genuinely absurd that Hank has co-created the most popular app in the United States. This is only going to encourage him.
