We’re introducing a new layer of verification on Bluesky — a user-friendly, easily recognizable blue check. In addition to account verification issued by Bluesky, we're also introducing Trusted Verifiers. Select independent organizations can verify accounts directly.

dlvr.itDragonfly, un client Bluesky pour le Mac et l’iPad, en attendant l’iPhone, Android et WindowsDragonfly (abonnement ou 20 €) est un client pour le réseau social BlueSky, qui se distingue de l’officiel tout d’abord par sa compatibilité. Alors que l’app fournie par les créateurs du réseau se contente de l’iPhone (et Android), cette alternative fonctionne tout d’abord sur le Mac ainsi que l’iPad. Ses deux concepteurs ont par ailleurs un planning de développement chargé, puisqu’ils ont prévu d’adapter leur app à l’iPhone, aux terminaux Android, à Windows et même à Linux. Pour y parvenir, l’interface ne repose pas sur du code natif, elle a été codée avec Flutter, un framework qui permet de créer des apps multiplateformes à partir des technologies du web. Dragonfly en action sous macOS. Image MacGeneration. À l’usage, Dragonfly ressemble ainsi fort au site web de Bluesky, puisque c’est en gros de cela qu’il s’agit. Il y a malgré tout quelques avantages à utiliser une app pour le Mac, dont la prise en charge de quelques raccourcis clavier, comme ⌘N pour créer un nouveau message ou encore la possibilité de coller une image avec ⌘V1. Quelques fonctionnalités absentes de l’app officielle ou même du site web du réseau social sont même proposées, dont la possibilité de sauvegarder le brouillon d’un message et l’envoyer plus tard. Si vous avez plusieurs comptes, le passage de l’un à l’autre est aussi plus rapide avec ce client tiers qu’avec l’interface officielle. Les concepteurs de Dragonfly ont prévu d’autres ajouts importants, dont la synchronisation du fil de lecture entre les appareils, une fonctionnalité que Bluesky ne proposera probablement jamais. Il lui manque également quelques fonctions qui viendront par la suite, comme les notifications ou encore la gestion des messages privés. Il faut dire que l’app est encore assez récente et qu’elle évolue rapidement. La liste de fonctionnalités en cours de développement et celles qui sont prévues par la suite sont également visibles à cette adresse. Les brouillons sont gérés par Dragonfly, l’une des nouveautés de l’app face à Bluesky. Dragonfly est distribuée sur l’App Store, où elle peut être téléchargée gratuitement. Un essai de sept jours est proposé, suite à quoi il faudra choisir entre deux formules : soit un abonnement à 0,99 € par mois ou 7,99 € par an, soit un achat unique à 19,99 €. Alors que les deux créateurs sont Français, leur app n’est proposée qu’en anglais à ce stade. Dragonfly nécessite au minimum macOS 13.5 ou iPadOS 15.6. --- * En revanche, il n’est pas possible pour le moment de la glisser/déposer dans le champ de texte.  ↩︎

🧵 v1.2.0 is rolling out now (macOS/iPad)! (1/2) 🔞NSFW content control : Show, hide, or get a trigger warning on NSFW content based on your Bluesky moderation settings. 📋 Paste images from clipboard with ⌘ + V on macOS or long press → "Paste" on iPad

(2/2) ⌨️ New keyboard shortcuts on macOS : ⌘ + N for a new post, ⌘ + V to paste images in your post, left arrow to go back. 🔙 Back button for easier navigation : We've replaced the breadcrumb with a clean and simple back button for smoother navigation. Download it here → dfly.app/download

📢 v1.1.0 is rolling out now! Bookmarks are now available on macOS and iPad! Save posts from Bluesky for later and organize them into collections. Bookmarks are private and saved per account, so if you switch accounts, your collections and bookmarks stay separate.

One of the most requested features by @bsky.app users is finally on the way to Dragonfly… Bookmarks! Soon, you’ll be able to save posts for later, organize them into collections, and best of all: they’re private. No one else but you can see them! #buildinpublic
