I've been exploring the Bluesky a lot as of late, fully moving over from Twitter to Bluesky as my go-to social media website, and I figured I should highlight some of the cool things I've found about it so far!

Domain Names

One of the coolest parts of Bluesky is that you are a domain name on the network, which means you can take your personal domain name (or any random one you might own) and use it as your handle!

Tools like Vercel and Netlify now offer quick options to use a domain as your username on Bluesky too!

Intent Links

Twitter used to (maybe still does) support "intent links", essentially plain old anchor links that will pre fill some content in a post, or take some action for the user when they click on the link. Bluesky supports the same!

Open Source Tools:

Profile Widgets

There's a neat bsky-widget Web Component open sourced by Saurabh Daware!

Raycast Extension:

There's even a Raycast extension which allows you to view your feeds, make posts, and interact with the app entirely from Raycast (making you feel productive while you're checking in on your friends!)

Post Embeds:

There's a number of open source Post components available, so far I've seen these ones:

• bluesky-embed
• bluesky-post

There's also this awesome-bluesky GitHub repo that lists a ton of other tools that you should check out!

What other neat tips, tools or open source packages have you found for Bluesky? Share them with me on Bluesky!
