OMG. Your joyful energy is infectious. The anti-brogrammer. It makes me so happy

thathrwidow.bsky.social•14 days ago

Aww I can’t put a bio in yet! Can’t wait though! You guys are doing a great job!

capecoddreamer.bsky.social•12 days ago

Thanks to both of you for your heroic efforts🙏This is definitely my landing pad 👍

samshead.bsky.social•14 days ago

Just so incredible what you guys have accomplished in so little time. Seriously, really impressive!! Love seeing all the new work.

jilliandale.bsky.social•14 days ago

So glad you are feeling better! 💙

bluescroll.bsky.social•14 days ago

Good job! Profile page on ours still don't work well but hey , it's part of the dev life!

keep on going! tiktok is back for download but i'm sure it is worse

dachshundbandit.bsky.social•14 days ago

I was surprised at the sheer amount of outright racism and hate in the comment section on skylight, way worse than FB. Needs a report/filter for all that maga hate. ONE that WORKS

buildwithtori.com•14 days ago

This comment is making me realize that I don't think we're filtering comments as well as we're filtering posts!! Thank you for this feedback! I'll take a look at this today!

Also, thank you for trying out @skylight.social!!

dachshundbandit.bsky.social•10 days ago

Thank you for taking the time to listen. We all know Meta chooses not to follow through with reports on comments/posts & TT isn't great at it either. I'm hoping that you are better because right now it's unsafe for children and my mental health.

emerax.bsky.social•14 days ago

Will there be a view count on videos?

buildwithtori.com•14 days ago

Yes, we plan to implement this! But it will take some time to get to this point.

vtwomenpreneurs.com•12 days ago

Have sent a snapshot that uploading video has failed each time and not knowing why since getting on the beta.

messinmynest.bsky.social•14 days ago

Looking forward to seeing this!!

voiceofjane.bsky.social•13 days ago

Another suggestion: give the ability to toggle the play time bar back some like the functionality in ticktock. It would be nice not to wait for the vid to loop thru just to go back a bit

voiceofjane.bsky.social•13 days ago

It would be really nice to be in the comment section and still have the video rolling in the background. I’m loving all the progress thank you!

the-walking-dad420.bsky.social•14 days ago

Can we get a remove video option, please? because there are two I did not absolutely post that are posted and I would like to have them taken down.

buildwithtori.com•14 days ago

You should be able to take them down on Bluesky, but yes! We are working on adding more editing features! ☺️

the-walking-dad420.bsky.social•14 days ago

stomp250.bsky.social•14 days ago

Can’t wait!!!

nobilis.bsky.social•13 days ago

Wait wait wait...

You said "algorithm."

Given that one of the reasons we love BlueSky is the LACK of algorithm, we need to hear more.

philmarz.bsky.social•14 days ago

Great work! Rooting for you both!

julzp222.bsky.social•14 days ago

When will it be available for everyone who is not a tester?

natparks4evah.bsky.social•14 days ago

So glad you are feeling better. Do you think you will implement scrolling on someone’s profile page? It would be great to be able to scroll through their video feed instead of having to use the back button.

buildwithtori.com•14 days ago

Yes! Added to the sticky note board! 🫡

chatpatwah.bsky.social•14 days ago

I did notice something maybe for the future…if we’re watching a video and then hit profile or the persons profile…and then go back…it restarts the video…can it just continue where we left off in the future?

buildwithtori.com•14 days ago

Working on this and working on this happening if you open the comment section! Hopefully we can make it happen ☺️

pacothetaco115.bsky.social•14 days ago

I can't believe it has only been 23 days and you are already this far! That's crazy! Really appreciate what you all are doing!

testflighttester.bsky.social•14 days ago

Yikes!

You are upping your game!

Now you’re giving shout-outs to people in your demo?

Time for me to go thru my posts and see who I owe shout-outs to!

beitmenotyou.online•13 days ago

How do I test on android

katph0bia.bsky.social•14 days ago

I would love to see lots of costumization on profile page!

Allow us to set our own headers and background colours!
Even better if you could give us a way to link directly in app instead of Linktree, this would allow all costumization from above to follow making it quite sleek.

kelr314.bsky.social•14 days ago

please hurry clapper is maga central. I miss book tok. I miss everything. not going back but I miss it.

n00dleking.bsky.social•14 days ago

This is ByteDance's open source release of the tiktok recommendation engine/algorithm. If this could at least be an option to use that would be a game changer since its licensed under Apache 2.0 so it's FOSS.

buildwithtori.com•14 days ago

Yes! We've definitely been taking a look at it!

rootdust.bsky.social•14 days ago

when for android?

buildwithtori.com•14 days ago

Hopefully soon! We're waiting on the closed beta to end and google playstore to approve us!

rootdust.bsky.social•14 days ago

but is there a beta for android?

buildwithtori.com•14 days ago

Yes! We have a closed beta currently. Here's a link to a video I made about what it's been like to get in the playstore

😅

tucolol.bsky.social•14 days ago

Is there any specific reason why it can't be put onto F-Droid?

xkx5x.bsky.social•14 days ago

not sure if they have said, but do they plan on doing a web version?? I would mostly use it on my phone but it is nice to use it on the PC at times as well... (as I type this on my PC lol)

buildwithtori.com•14 days ago

tbh, we worked on a web version, but the scroll was pretty bad. But we're thinking will implement something similar to TikTok's at some point!

crewchief535.bsky.social•14 days ago

I don't think I can recall being so pumped to get my hands on an app, ever!

buildwithtori.com•14 days ago

This made my night!! So happy to have you on our corner of the internet!!

Forgot to tag @aaronburch.bsky.social! Thanks for creating great content on the AT Protocol!

steeloc15.bsky.social•14 days ago

Any update on the android version?

mysticof19966.bsky.social•12 days ago

I'm waiting as well lmao. If you find out any info lmk if you don't mind.

neilstone99.bsky.social•14 days ago

I still can't find it on the app store

lizardlandia.bsky.social•14 days ago

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

finaempire.com•14 days ago

I love it so far! Curious if there’: plans to allow for feeds? Like if I wanted a feed of just cat videos similar to how Bluesky has things.

Love the progress and love being here along the way.

buildwithtori.com•14 days ago

We’ve been discussing what it would look like to have these types of feeds on Skylight! I can’t promise that it will be soon, but definitely something we’re thinking about!

nordicerik07.bsky.social•14 days ago

Happy to hear your feeling better. Nice work!

thatonecancer.bsky.social•14 days ago

Can we pretty please get an auto scroll function at some point

harbertowen1924.bsky.social•14 days ago

So far it is amazing 🥰

anonds.bsky.social•14 days ago

Hi Tori! Is the link in the bio only exclusive to someone with a certain number of followers like the ones on TikTok? I hope not 🤞

buildwithtori.com•14 days ago

Nope! Anyone can have a link in bio! Just like on Bluesky. Doesn't sit right with us for users and creators to have to "earn" the right to have their own link.

breadcircuses.bsky.social•14 days ago

Can't wait. The censorship on TikTok is getting wild. I was threatened with being banned for mentioning Greg Palast. Also, before the shut down my algorithm was perfectly tailored and now I'm getting a lot of pro MAGA content I never did, even with me immediately blocking all of it.

buildwithtori.com•14 days ago

I feel the same way!! The censorship is crazy!
