The #1 overall free app on the App Store (iOS) and Google Play (Android) is... Bluesky?? This is pretty incredible from an independent team, with a fraction of the budget as most other apps on these charts. (This represents current downloads, but it still huge. Congrats Bluesky team!) - ThreadSky

It's been pretty incredible to see.

Should we be concerned that one of their largest investors is a crypto business? 🤔 Bluesky feels refreshingly clean. I want this to last.

As long as they keep crypto shit out of the product, it's fine

Every now and then you just can't out-develop and out-market something that perfectly fits the market at the perfect time.

Did a deepdive into the Bluesky engineering team: the history and how they work a few months back.

Back then they were 12 engineers, and growing very slow (headcount-wise.) The majority of engineers were former founders (!!!)
