Skywalker

Skywalker is a 3rd party Android app for Bluesky. 𝗙𝗲𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲𝘀 • Start your timeline where you last left • Bookmarks • Save drafts • Compose post threads • Wide media view • Photo/video gallery view • Swipe fullscreen media • Mute words • Focus words • Search options • Customisable colors • 𝘍𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘴

Whether you use @bsky.app, @mu.social, @skywalker.thereforeiam.eu, @skeetsapp.com or @deck.blue —it's basically the same thing: the same content and the same people. How content is curated depends on the feeds you use, not on the app. You could call it the Bluesky network, if you want.

Is this useful for you?

v4.47 is out * View on which lists you are * View on which starter packs you are * View users that have blocked you * View who has verified an account * View quotes in top (most likes) or latest order * Reduce memory usage * Bug fixes

Probiert mal diese App (Skywalker) aus, falls ihr auf Android mit der original App rumhantiert, sie ist wirklich sehr gut!

Today is my 3 year Bluesky anniversary 🥳 I totally forgot about this feature, but it is still working! 3 years, what a ride it has been. I think the first release of Skywalker was 2 months after I created this account.

v4.46.1 is out * Show thread symbol in front of thread numbering * Bug fixes This release fixes an issue that could crash the app when checking for notifications.

You can tap on the thread numbering label to unroll the thread. Though it may be easier to tap on the thread icon dosplayed in front of the first post of a thread.

v4.46 is out! * Create and edit starter packs * Follow all button on starter packs * Option to opt-out from a starter pack * Search starter packs * Show thread post index and counts in feeds * Translate link on posts in foreign language * Added Noto Sans Symbols to the font 🧵1/13

Note on switching AppViews: you can switch without the need to restart the app. Immediately after switching, requests will be sent to the new AppView.

I thought this would only be a little bit of work. Famous last words 😬 But I am getting there.

Next release will make it easier to switch AppView by offering you preonfigured AppViews for Eurosky and Blacksky.

There is one basic feature missing from Skywalker: adding and editing starter packs. Next release will have that.

Why are there still CDN's that do not support HTTP/2? *sighs*

Der Editor der offiziellen mu Web-App erzwingt beim Erstellen starr einen schwarzen Hintergrund – schwarze Schrift auf schwarzem Grund wird unlesbar. Der Editor in Skywalker hingegen handhabt die Transparenz im Composer direkt sauber. #mu #ATProto #Eurosky #Skywalker #UI #UX #Tech #EULE #EULEde

Toying with the idea of dynamically switching appviews on upstream errors. (I guess it sometimes is a timeout or another error, so not a very reliable trigger) Als you lose access to data stored on the appview, like bookmarks, drafts and few other things.

I see that the Bluesky app now automatically numbers posts in a thread in the view. I will implement that too in the next release. There would be no need for putting numbers in the posts themselves anymore when you write the thread.

There is an issue with Android 17 that cause excessive veritcal margins to be rendered around some emoji. This causes text layout to be messed up. I will get a fix for this in the next Skywalker release.

Back from vacation. Did I write all this code? 😳

For the Dutch users: @atproto.nl has been verifying Dutch people. To see those verifications in Skywalker add @atproto.nl to your trusted verifiers.

Y'a même une app Android qui a repris le terme (et que j'utlilse, et recommande) @skywalker.thereforeiam.eu

bei #Skywalker (beste App) hast du das ganze sogar in chic 😊 (Editier-Funktion hat sie auch)

Yes! Bsky links in posts should be intercepted automatically (famous last words) Bsky links elsewhere can be intercepted but you have to enable it in the Android settings of the app. Here is what those settings look like on my Samsung phone Credits to @nowrench.com for this feature.

Just when my vacation starts AT Proto spaces begins showing signs of life. I fear a steep learning curve when I get back.

Do you know that you can embed links in your text?
