Hi ! 🙋‍♂️ Blue Thread is a website which can post threads for you! Here is how it works : - Log in with you bsky account - Type in a long text - The text is split into 300 characters parts - You can edit the posts and add pictures - When you're done, send the whole thread in a click! (1/2)

Hi! I've been pretty inactive the past few months and it's been a while since the last update, but I think it's time I continue to improve Blue Thread. Plus hashtags just arrived officially on Bluesky so I guess I could implement them

Il y a maintenant plusieurs, voire parfois plusieurs dizaines de threads envoyés quotidiennement avec @bluethread.bsky.social ! C'est satisfaisant de voir que ça sert aux gens, avec des profils assez variés. Ça parle d'aviation, de la situation de l'Ukraine, de recherche scientifique, c'est cool !

Happy new year! I wish you a lot of long, interesting threads ☺️

Hi! Please fill the ALT field when posting pictures on Bluesky. With Blue Thread, after adding a picture, click the ALT button to open a pop up window, and describe the picture in a few sentences. It helps visually impaired users to know what you're talking about. Thanks!

✨ Update v0.2.8 ✨ A few improvements for those who talk a lot 😁 - If you type a long text that exceeds the height of the input field, the field expends as needed - Same thing for the field where you enter the alt text, it expands as needed (up to 1000 characters). (1/2)

✨ Update v0.2.7 ✨ Mentions are there ! Whenever you add a Bluesky user (for ex @bluethread.bsky.social) in a post, it will create a mention to their account (as expected), if that account exists.

000

🎅 Oh oh oh! A little bonus update has arrived!

A bug prevents mentions to work, so this feature is disabled until it's fixed ! 😬 The other new features (links from urls, and better editing without removing the images) are still there 😊

100

I think I found what happens. Mentions to users are not working so please don't use them for now :( I'll update the app to deactivate that feature temporarily.

100

It seems if you add multiple links / mentions to users, it can sometimes cause an error, so please tell me if that happens so i can fix the bug ! 🤗

Blue Thread @bluethread.bsky.social · 06/12/2023

✨ Update v0.2.6 ✨ Two big features today : - Urls and mentions will now create real links ! - Editing the text (on the left) does not remove the posts images anymore ! (1/2)

163

There haven't been lot of updates recently but a big one is coming in the next few days if everything works well. With that the main drawbacks should be fixed, and i think it will be really cool to use Blue Thread for a variety of use cases.

Blue Thread @bluethread.bsky.social · 01/12/2023

Next step is turning urls into real links. I just did some tests that were encouraging 👀

Blue Thread @bluethread.bsky.social · 01/12/2023

✨ Update v0.2.5 ✨ Sending image has been greatly improved ! - You can add bigger files, they will be compressed before being sent to respect Bluesky limitations (2000x2000, 976 KB). - Ne need to select all images at the same time anymore, you can add and remove images as you want in a post.

Blue Thread @bluethread.bsky.social · 29/11/2023

I have made some progress to implement image resizing and compression before sending them to Bluesky. This means you could choose large images, they would get compressed (client side) and be added in your posts. Until now they were simply rejected. (1/2)

Hello fellow Blue Thread users! If you have a few minutes, can you answer a few questions : - Do you often use BT? - What do you like the most about it? - What do you like the least and should be improved? - What feature do you think is missing right now? Thanks!

Je me permets de vous rappeler l'existence de @bluethread.bsky.social, que je suis toujours en train de développer. Si vous souhaitez poster des threads plus facilement que post par post, alors ça peut vous être utile 😊 Et maintenant on peut mettre des images !

✨ Update v0.2.4 ✨ New pop-up window to add and edit the alt value of an image ! Describing a picture is important for accessibility. The ALT button becomes green when the alt value has been filled in.

The top part is the post itself : "✨ Update v0.2.4 ✨

The bottom part is the image which will be included in this post. The green ALT button means the alt value has been provided (of course because you are reading it right now. So meta.)

✨ Update v0.2.3 ✨ 🖼️ You can now post pictures in your thread ! 🖼️ And add an alt text too to describe them ! This is quite experimental, and there are a few limitations. Make sure you read the following posts. 👇 (1/5)

Exciting news: We’re taking another step to making Bluesky an open network for public conversations. Around the end of this month, we’ll release a public web interface. With this, you’ll be able to view posts on Bluesky without being logged in on an account.

It seems there is an issue and the login process doesn't work at this time on Blue Thread... Probably a library that changed again and made it invalid, I'm looking into it 🔎

✨ Update v0.2.1 ✨ When sending a thread, you now stay on the same page ! It opens a popup window which gets updated when the thread has been sent! (or tells you if there was an error)

Blue Thread @bluethread.bsky.social · 03/11/2023

✨ Update v0.2.0 ✨ - You can now choose if you want to number the posts (like it was before) or remove the numbers to fully use the 300 characters. - New footer with a link to the GitHub issues at the bottom of the page

Blue Thread @bluethread.bsky.social · 03/11/2023

I understand some of you would be able to publish threads without having a numbering at the end of each post (1/10 etc). I personally prefer to know how many posts there are in the thread to know how long it's gonna be. What do you think?

✨ Update v0.1.7 ✨ - If you refresh the page when typing, the thread is not lost anymore ! It's saved locally (in your browser). - The "cut" button has been deleted, it became useless since the thread is cut automatically when typing. - A new "clear" button has been added to clear the current text

📢 Hi everyone ! If you're using the automatic translation on your browser, please disable it on Blue Thread, as it can prevent sending a thread ! (and it often doesn't translate well anyway) Sorry about this inconvenience, I will fix it soon so that it works better.
