A way to go through my following list, see their most recent 10 posts, and allow me to easily unfollow folks I'm uninterested in. Kinda like Tinder style swiping. I followed too many folks from starter packs and there's no good way to unfollow people without starting over or going one by one
Subscribe to a post or what is it called here: skeet ? For example I am interested in future responses to a topic. Bookmarking it means I have to go back manually. I would like to see notifications of updates to specific skeets I want to 'follow'
Right now, you could make a list and add those accounts to that, that would guarantee you to not miss anything.. unless it is about hundreds of people. - but I see the idea, would be nice to mark someone “always show updates”
I'm making an android bluesky client and I got a whole *list* of stuff
here's some of them
- inline translation of course
- out of network torrent-based files for higher quality media (might not get added)
- bookmarks
- post scheduling
- showing a quote repost chain
- condensing reposts
and more
Yeah, the mastodon web client has an "advanced interface" that helps manage multiple feeds in columns.
In fact the bluesky client is kinda broken if the horizontal menu of feeds is wider than the single narrow column ("mobile first"). Sliding around to find the feed better replaced with menu.
- Edit posts
- Add hidden hashtags
- Render markdown/ facets/features
- Draft posts
- view thread as single post
- Bookmarks with category labels
- Client sided follows and bookmarks to monitor accounts without adding to follow count or declaring on ATProto
- client sided customizable feed aggregator, the app has an experimental feature that intersperses other feeds into your "following" feed, but you have no custom options, it would be nice to have multiple aggregate feeds, and to exclude and include feeds and customize the frequencies of each
for instance if you want to prioritize mutuals or smaller communities you interact with rather than be flooded by the top news accounts, but still want those top news accounts interspersed in that more community based feed.
Simple client-side filtering. Custom feeds are a heavy solution when oftentimes I just want a feed / list that I already have except with an extra filter (say, Catch-Up, but only posts <3hrs old, or my News list, but only posts with(out) a certain keyword, etc.)
I don't think you can edit on just the client side.
But if we're thinking more holistically, I might add different view types. The ability to choose between text only, images only, videos only... We might be able to do that with feeds though
Proper edit after sending within the first 24 hours would be awesome also. Maybe a little note that says "edited", but that opens a whole can of worms.
That’s very interesting! Thanks for the info!
I’m new here, and I need to migrate a bot (I developed for another platform) that keeps some posts with updated information. But I couldn’t find a method/procedure to call in order to update/edit a post.
Could you point me to some example/doc?
Yeah I like that! That approach works well. Would need to be clear to the user that the post won't be sent if they exit the app before hand. Or you may have to consider uploading it in the background if it's a mobile client.
Maybe the ability to turn that on or off would be nice too!
A "block politics" filter. And a limitation to the number of times you can post within, say, an hour. Reasons I unfollow people: 1) too much politics, and 2) scrolling for minutes on end and seeing nothing but posts from THE SAME ACCOUNT.
Drafts, bookmarks, limited markdown in post text (mostly knowing to display `blah` and the ``` multiline ``` type so I can post code fragments and have them look okay :P
would you be okay with the type where it waits a certain amount of time before posting? you'd then be able to edit it within that time. once its posted though editing becomes a lot harder as it wont be updated in the official app until they add support for that.
You can edit anytime! People who have interacted are notified of the change and can review to see if they still agree. Then, likes, re-toots can be revoked -- and the account can be reported for review if something sneaky had been done.
Wait is this not already possible? What happens when you try to edit the record in the PDS? Doesn't it do something like change the time stamp of the relay seeing the new message and just get a label that the time stamps mismatch?
Well either that or a new record type that indicates it's an edit and that becomes a new standard. Might be better for preserving history. New record requires implementation from other clients tho, where as quote allows regular client to kinda see the updates
aah...makes sense. yeah, usually waiting for like 10s-15s should provide me sufficient time to just double check for any typos. also, the feature can be behind a flag somewhere in the settings and not the default
there aren't any text formatting facets at the moment, are there? 😬 seeing the "app.bsky" prefix on the currently-supported facets listed at https://docs.bsky.app/docs/advanced-guides/post-richtext, i'd imagine clients could make their own facet types?
I don’t know that’s something that if anyone ever made they should probably just PR into the app, But it would be nice to have little optional features. Like extensions.
The ability to include custom things, like in comments maybe, I’d love for pins to just be sort of a button, like hearts, and instead of seeing pin comments so you could just see a number of pins, like hearts. Comments would still be there, but plug-ins could change how things are displayed.
Improve basic touch, gestures handling and animations, the app doesn’t feel as a native iOS one because of that e.g. simply scrolling the feed causes a lot of accidental openings of the details screen.
Comments
-Keyword management (filters) by highlight, rt-click.
Allow user to set “watches” for patterns appearing via firehose API or similar
Icon hover or hamburger to see post frequency and location/theme statistics

I made a fork so might work on
Also, private lists.

If it’s web? The web UI is fine. In fact it’s quite good. 😃
(other clients do that already)
Create a new post that is a quote reply of OG, has some sort of signature, and then when rendering, it checks for this quote reply and renders it
Well either that or a new record type that indicates it's an edit and that becomes a new standard. Might be better for preserving history. New record requires implementation from other clients tho, where as quote allows regular client to kinda see the updates

facets are so cool
