Understanding Bluesky
This site uses no trackers or analytics. You can explore freely. The feeds here include: Recent News, Web Dev, Science, Astronomy, Tech, Movies, Bluesky Team, and Popular Profiles.
This project came from reading Bluesky docs and playing with LLMs. One day I saw people sharing cool tools built on Bluesky. That pushed me to try something. To start, I had to understand how Bluesky works. This project helped me learn and sparked new ideas.
Bluesky is open. Anyone can build on it using public data. As more folks and companies join in, its potential will grow. The only way to know its limits is to build and test ideas.
At first, this was just a test script to post something. Then I wrote a Python script with Mistral AI to fetch raw post data. Next, I exported posts from my feeds and lists and made them easier to browse. Yes, people can see the same stuff directly on Bluesky — but this is about exploration. One step led to the next.
The goal was to make Bluesky easier to explore. You can check real-time post details, view raw JSON, open author profiles, or tap on any image to view it in a new tab.
I don’t control or verify the posts shown here. They belong to their authors. Every post links back to its source.
Here’s something cool: every Bluesky username with .bsky.social is also a website. For example, just share username.bsky.social — no need for full links. It will redirect to the profile page.
So, every user has a basic website and RSS feed now.
This project and my other one, an RSS reader helped me rethink how I consume news. I hope more people try Bluesky soon.
