It’s actually a complete SDK. Kinda pricey to integrate but maybe worth it.

While working on the next big update - lots of features migrating over from @flashes.blue - I experimented with an editor today. Let me know what you think!

Bluescreen is a Bluesky client with one singular purpose: It identifies the videos from your Bluesky feed and delivers them to you in a TikTok-style endless scrolling interface.

Bluesky Now Has Its Own Version of TikTok

Bluesky, like other social media apps, allows users to post videos. Bluescreen isolates those videos and delivers them in a never-ending feed, similar to TikTok.

It happens when you have your device set to mute. The app tries to respect the setting, but I realize that makes no sense for a video app. So it'll be fixed in the next update.

Yes. Have already implemented this for @flashes.blue and will port it over to @bluescreen.blue soon

It's a bug that occurs when you have your device set to mute / sound off. The app tries to respect that setting, but as many have noted that doesn't really make sense for a video app. I'll fix it in the next update. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Thanks for the notice. I'll add a notice to the onboarding and the first time users try to delete something.

I'm not affiliated with Bluesky. If you need an iPad client for Bluesky give @skeetsapp.com a try.

You can drop me a dm here or send a mail to hi@birdsongapps.com - whatever is more convenient for you. Thank you!

You'll be interested to hear that I'm working on a Pro feature that will allow longer videos :)

Yeah, there's an issue with the offsets that will be fixed in the next update. Sorry for the inconvenience.

It’s a bug that occurs when you have your device set to mute / ringer off. Will fix it in the next update.

Already working on it. Hopefully next week 🤞

iPad version is coming soon. Hopefully next week. Working on a device-specific layout.

Sorry I cannot commit to an eta but I’m doing my best to get it done asap.

Here‘s what the user interaction with Bluescreen‘s timeline looks like

Blinky Social @blinky.social · 04/02/2025

You‘re not alone! I will at least at a notification to let users know why audio is muted.

Blinky Social @blinky.social · 04/02/2025

That Navigation (swipe right / left) is not really accessible and hard to operate with a screen reader, which is why I have opted for the current implementation. Will see if there is maybe another way but tbh other stuff has higher prio atm

Blinky Social @blinky.social · 04/02/2025

Will fix this in the next update. IIRC the app respects your mute setting (sound off), which in this case makes no sense. Thanks for noticing.

Blinky Social @blinky.social · 04/02/2025

performance improvements next :)

I don't know why news articles are saying that. But you can check the App Store developer info. You'll see that it's not developed and distributed by Bluesky.

Blinky Social @blinky.social · 04/02/2025

Nope, I’m a 3rd party developer and am not affiliated with Bluesky.

If you’re fine with seeing content twice in both Bluescreen and your Bsky client then you can just use your Bluesky account. There is also a term you can use as a mute word to not see content posted from Bluescreen in your regular Bluesky experience.

Blinky Social @blinky.social · 04/02/2025

I still have to write an FAQ for this. The short answer is: it depends. If you want an experience that is separate from your Bluesky persona, we recommend creating a 2nd account for Bluescreen. That way you also won’t receive notification twice (once within Bluescreen and once with the Bsky app).

Blinky Social @blinky.social · 04/02/2025

Sure. Just drop me a mail at hi@birdsongapps.com or via DM here.

Blinky Social @blinky.social · 04/02/2025

I‘m actually pretty confident to start working on an Android version soon. Already have developers on standby.

Yeah, I need to do performance optimizations!

Blinky Social @blinky.social · 04/02/2025

My other app @flashesapp.bsky.social does that. Open beta for iOS starts this week.

Blinky Social @blinky.social · 04/02/2025

Already implemented. Coming in one of the next releases.

Blinky Social @blinky.social · 04/02/2025

Thank you. The standard feed is handled by the wonderful @bsky.app folks.

Blinky Social @blinky.social · 04/02/2025

The 2nd default feed is an independent algo (by @skyfeed.xyz) which updates based on your likes.

The feed thing is still a little error-prone. If there aren't enough videos in the feed the app may run out of content to fetch and bail. But I'm looking into a solution for this.
