Bluesky
Overview
Bluesky is a social network built on the AT Protocol, an open, decentralized protocol for social media. This repository is the official Bluesky app for the web, iOS and Android, written in TypeScript with React Native. Millions of people use it to post, follow others and find communities.
What it does well
Because Bluesky runs on an open protocol, your identity and followers aren't locked into one company's servers, and you can choose custom feeds, moderation lists and content filters to control your timeline. The app is the same open-source code across web and mobile. Developers can build their own apps, feeds and tools on the AT Protocol.
Why it’s in the collection
Bluesky shows that a large, mainstream social network can be built on an open protocol with open-source apps. The app is MIT-licensed.
