we cant hire an UI designer
you can pay for one here

@gabboman @tom @coreysnipes @_elena @stefan I apologize for my comment, I know OSS dev is hard and I didn't mean to sound unkind.

Best wishes.

Sorry was a day today.

The web is more tumblr inspired, but the mobile app has a different design and you may enjoy that one instead.

The app is made by a different person with different design ideas!

you know you could've just not say that considering it's an unambiguous statement that cannot be really misinterpreted?

Here's a conveniently-timed article looking at doing things completely independent of Bluesky - https://mia.leaflet.pub/3mhw3hzwtn224

@stefan @_elena @jaredwhite

@jdp23 Looks a bit involved. Interesting read, though, thank you for sharing!

@_elena @jaredwhite

Oh yeah, it's definitely at the duct tape and baling wire stage in general -- @jaredwhite is very right that right now Blacksky is the only reasonably-mature mostly-independent microblogging-focused tech stack. (Blacksky still uses Bluesky's PLC directory, although they do have a mirror that could if necessary fall back on; also they don't have their own mobile app yet, and still use some of Bluesky's moderation services.)

@stefan @_elena

@jdp23 Are they also using Bluesky's servers for DMs, since those are stored off-protocol?

Or do non-Bluesky AppViews just don't have DMs? (Or whichever part of the stack is responsible for that.)
