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!

This is so cool. There are TWO ways to do domain verification with #atproto:
1. By DNS OR 2. By uploading your did to `https://<YOUR-DOMAIN>/.well-known/atproto-did`
It works! (Haha, this is why you should always read the docs 😅)
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!
Hiiii Bluesky friendsss!! I made something for you all 🤗
Presenting `bsky-widget` 🦋

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!)
