Can we record directly on the app? Filters? Effects? Music?

taylorfrost2023.bsky.social•84 days ago

Can you let us know as soon as it’s live in the App Store?

12thdim.bsky.social•78 days ago

Does posting videos require an app or USB?

12thdim.bsky.social•78 days ago

How does one post videos on BlueSky?

stefanledzep.bsky.social•85 days ago

So, the 1-minute-video limit will stand for the forseeable future?

ropascikpop.bsky.social•84 days ago

Oh my gosh the 1 minute limit would kill me

tomlasusa.bsky.social•85 days ago

Can't wait to try this out!

johntbury.bsky.social•84 days ago

Posted quite a few cat videos, if anyone wants wholesome content, follow me ☺️

igotthewoo.bsky.social•84 days ago

I wish I could, the 60 sec cap on video length makes this super challenging...

ucw.bsky.social•84 days ago

Waiting ✨ impatiently ✨ for the android build. ❤️

nemescontent.bsky.social•85 days ago

Hey Tori, I have a quick question about Starlight. Is the app a client that only filters bluesky/starlight videos, or are does the app have its own indpendent appview as well?

Either way it's still good to see on here, but I'm also deeply curious about how it works.

j4ck.xyz•85 days ago

AFAICT they are just using Bluesky videos and not their own infra for a PDS/AppView, etc..

stay.bsky.social•84 days ago

BTW if you need an Advisor I worked with FB and also knew all the founders of Twitter and many other social networks in the early days. MySpace was also a client once.

stay.bsky.social•84 days ago

Can you give me a script I can run that will take my TikTok backup JSON files, combine with my downloaded videos, and just mass upload to Bluesky/AT?

lorzs.bsky.social•84 days ago

2nd this! I submitted a request for my json data but it’s still pending

lunazamoracreative.bsky.social•85 days ago

Commenting so I can follow you

justkey.bsky.social•84 days ago

Thanks Tori

creativecatalyst.bsky.social•84 days ago

Will it be monetizable instead of just another Instagram type platform?

yessieyessie.bsky.social•84 days ago

I'm new here. I'm a disabled mommy of 3 and I live in a feeding tube im currently 5 years sober and I love to use rollerskating and using my story along with my social app to help others heal and heal myself with others. I hope i share my story and hope we can all help and heal one another 🌬👑😇💜🙏✨️💨🛼

gdey.me•84 days ago

Might be a dumb question, still learning #atproto but do you have a lexicon publish somewhere?

shatteredjack.bsky.social•83 days ago

https://atproto.com/guides/overview

gdey.me•83 days ago

That's the lexicon for BlueSky in General I was asking for the lexicon she is using to build the tiktok clone. There are going to be diffs I assume (additions). Is it just the search and catalog that is going to be different? How are stitches going to work? Are they just edited or something else

jman73.bsky.social•85 days ago

Can’t wait to get the app running. This is so exciting.

jasminedevv.com•85 days ago

Looking forward to trying it out!

ispinola.bsky.social•85 days ago

Keep up the good work

samthibault.bsky.social•84 days ago

How will you be handling your PDS though 🤔. You would have to use blueskys https://Bsky.social in order for this to work as described, otherwise you can use a custom PDS but but you wouldn't be able to use that custom one Blue sky, so it sort of creates a problem when it comes to accounts.

tonyfrye.rocks•83 days ago

Will Skylight have different video caps than BlueSky if you upload through that app instead of this one? I have a few videos that are, like, 65 seconds or 51MB that I can't post here at all without going back and editing more. It'd be cool if the limits got pushed to at least 3 minutes.

luvalentino.bsky.social•85 days ago

Came from TT-glad I found ya!!!

mariaboek.bsky.social•84 days ago

Android?

lowfihistory.bsky.social•84 days ago

This is great, though to be an app killer we need at least three minutes of video length.

lizzythenerd.bsky.social•83 days ago

Keep in mind this app has only been in production for what... 4-5 days?

Wait a week longer and I'm sure we can get those features, and more.

platinumimagery.bsky.social•84 days ago

Question…I’m not a creator - but noticed alot of the European creators I follow don’t have a creator fund. If you figure out the CF element, can you also open it up to other countries?

mautamboni.bsky.social•84 days ago

awesome! any plans on it being possible to upload 1+ minute(s) videos?

jenniferegbert.bsky.social•84 days ago

Love!

ekennedy80.bsky.social•84 days ago

I’d love to help you with this!!! I’d love to talk with you and help get this out! I’m a full stack principal software engineer with a ton of experience in a buck of different stacks! I’ve also start working on a Java API for bsky!

ekennedy80.bsky.social•84 days ago

I’ll sign a NDA! No kidding!

teriweinbrecht.bsky.social•84 days ago

Are we able to download skylightsocial yet? Or is it still in the making. I'm excited

pattikintheboat.bsky.social•85 days ago

You are killing it! Keep up the good work!

garrettbooks.bsky.social•84 days ago

I love this, but the 60 second limit on videos is really awful. @bsky.app can you please raise the limit to 90 seconds at a minimum?

ginupthewater.com•82 days ago

Minimum viable product gets shipped. Then improvements happen

zmiley.bsky.social•84 days ago

lol. Held the screen for 2x 🫠

frozendan.bsky.social•84 days ago

Can you please post estimated dates in the skylight profile when you expect to launch the app?

purpleunicorngaming.com•83 days ago

I cannot post videos to Bluesky on the mobile or on desktop browser.

purpleunicorngaming.com•83 days ago

on the mobile app* or..

abbya.bsky.social•82 days ago

I love what you’re up to and would be honored to beta test the app. I just posted my intro and tagged you 🙏🏻💕

eightyuh.bsky.social•85 days ago

oooh okay i love what you're putting down. i DO have a question tho -- i usually can't post photos to bsky because of some ridiculously small file / time limitation! how would that work with connection to skylight?

taratemprano.bsky.social•84 days ago

I’m here for it. I have always been hesitant to create content. Now that I’m ready, TikTok is banned. Ugh!

cyndimarie22.bsky.social•83 days ago

@jordanthegreywitch.bsky.social
Have you seen this??

liveadivinelife.bsky.social•82 days ago

Is this an alternative to tiktok or connected to tiktok?

twofingersmedia.bsky.social•81 days ago

Alternative.

fucctrump.bsky.social•85 days ago

Bluesky's 60 sec length rule is annoying

stefanledzep.bsky.social•85 days ago

TikTok started with a one minute limit, then upped it to three minutes and as of now the limit stands at ten minutes for videos recorded in the app.
However, one can upload videos to TikTok as long as one hour by now apparently.

ziphy.fyi•85 days ago

I feel like if this gains traction they will probably up it.

wvredlegs.bsky.social•84 days ago

Ok, Just posted my first video on BlueSky.

happiestoutside.bsky.social•84 days ago

Good job! I haven’t figured out how to do that.

wvredlegs.bsky.social•84 days ago

I just took a video. Saved it to my phone and uploaded after hitting that 2nd icon in the tray that looks like old school film.

happiestoutside.bsky.social•84 days ago

Oh! Thank you! lol

wvredlegs.bsky.social•84 days ago

courtk.bsky.social•84 days ago

Gained a follower! I’m excited about skylight and ready to help it start big!

bluesmobile.bsky.social•83 days ago

I don’t need to be womansplained to.

Just cause I’m a dumb ass man doesn’t mean I’m stoopit.

saralanditortoli.bsky.social•84 days ago

Are you still going to build the app if Trump decides for an extension of the TikTok ban once in office?

buildwithtori.com•84 days ago

Absolutely we will!

thewhipping.bsky.social•83 days ago

Even more of a reason to create an alternative. His signing the executive order to kill TikTok and then "saving" it-- with the obligatory public bootlicking by the app owner-- is way too much like a state media red flag to be ignored. TikTok is poisoned now.

harbertowen1924.bsky.social•84 days ago

If 🍊💩 saves the day then we can assume the whole thing was staged. In which case I hope everyone leaves TikTok for this. And if this app starts acting like Big Brother or worse, like Twitter is now, we should leave it behind too.

iamguff.bsky.social•82 days ago

this is so sick!!

sunshine3369.bsky.social•84 days ago

They shut it down

pirate-cin.bsky.social•84 days ago

Have you seen this it’s a nightmare scenario https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZT2e3TU8w/

midwestislander.bsky.social•84 days ago

😳

bexhanna.bsky.social•84 days ago

I don’t have TT. What is it saying?

pirate-cin.bsky.social•84 days ago

Meta might be buying TT

bexhanna.bsky.social•84 days ago

Ahh thx! ok yeah not good! I deleted my meta accounts already and hope everyone is doing the same.

robotfishgirl.bsky.social•84 days ago

This is fantastic. Is there a web portal for it? I realize we can just post to bluesky normally, but a designated video upload site would be excellent.

I'd also love an API to integrate it into mass posting tools like Buffer, Sprout Social, etc.

so9io.bsky.social•31 days ago

If you're looking for a powerful tool with a web portal and API support, check out SO9. It helps with mass posting and integrates well for streamlined content management. Let me know if you’d like more details! 🚀

buildwithtori.com•84 days ago

These are all on the list! We want to make it as easy as possible for creators to post!

robotfishgirl.bsky.social•84 days ago

Awesome. Been super into decentralized ecosystems for awhile but until recently that meant having to interact heavily with crypto bros, so. Glad and relieved to see work kicking off more here 😅 I'll be following closely, and probably applying if y'all open marketing roles haha

shipppp-it.bsky.social•84 days ago

I’m a skilled product manager. I’d love to help if I can!

micheleprice.bsky.social•84 days ago

Finally, someone I want to talk with and listen to. Now if I could type on a bigger keyboard here.

whatifitsizzy.bsky.social•85 days ago

Random question - is there a way for me to see replies on someone’s post??

courtk.bsky.social•84 days ago

Click on the wording in the post and it’ll open the replies.

whatifitsizzy.bsky.social•84 days ago

THANK YOU!!! I don’t know why I could not figure that out 🤪

themindfulwarrior.bsky.social•84 days ago

Love this.

bungirl62.bsky.social•84 days ago

amandarachelle.bsky.social•84 days ago

Do you know if bluesky is working on upgrading their video capabilities?

tkp94.bsky.social•84 days ago

The people are so ready for this!

frankjamesbailey.bsky.social•84 days ago

This a little confusing since I went to the app store and couldn't find Skylight. 😐

ucw.bsky.social•84 days ago

I know they haven't started the Android one yet and the apple one is still waiting for approval.

sarahgeoghegan.bsky.social•84 days ago

Super excited about this! Sent you a DM on TikTok.

henricook.bsky.social•84 days ago

Any android plans?

happyphx.bsky.social•85 days ago

Loving this!!!

allancraig.bsky.social•84 days ago

Excited for this!!

rebeccabardess.bsky.social•84 days ago

I love your plan and your enthusiasm. I’ve been beta testing since I tested the www before it was launched to the public. I’d LOVE to test this!!

julietshen.bsky.social•84 days ago

This is awesome - HMU if you're interested in open source tools for online safety! Would love to help out!!

zaithar.bsky.social•84 days ago

This is amazing. How can fellow devs help??

jasonm429.bsky.social•84 days ago

I post videos on here all the time. Will we have to download a separate app?

celestialsnakes.bsky.social•84 days ago

i wish bluesky’s video formatting options were a lot better because a lot of creators would benefit to both bsky and skylight!

courtk.bsky.social•84 days ago

Agreed. I’m having a tough time trying to figure out where to edit so they populate to the right size easily.

harbertowen1924.bsky.social•84 days ago

Very exciting news! Will it be available internationally to every country that will support the project?

ropascikpop.bsky.social•84 days ago

So the only thing this doesn’t directly solve is the shop/affiliate chain conundrum, yeah?

joyingram1968.bsky.social•84 days ago

Can we get skylight on android

courtk.bsky.social•84 days ago

They’ve submitted it to the App Store but are running into challenges. Follow @reedharmeyer.bsky.social for details

kesley365.bsky.social•84 days ago

This is great! Along for the journey! Looking forward to the app being available in the App Store!

introvertednav.bsky.social•85 days ago

I can't wait for Skylight. I don't have any coding experience, but if I can help in any way, shape or form, I'd love to.
