Also: Bonjour! Welcome to all our new French users. We have no idea why, but we've had a huge spike in French users in the last few days. Welcome all! Localization is coming very soon!

Spark 0.11.1 is out now! 🔐 Auth no longer expires after two weeks! You will have to login again after update but shouldn't have to for a very, very long time. 👾 We also fixed a video upload bug and made some preparations for scoped auth, coming soon. Much more exciting updates coming real soon!

Spark just passed 1 thousand monthly active users! 🥳🎊 We have a ton of exciting updates coming down the pipe soon, and we're continuing to double down on open source and open social. Stay tuned!

A note: Some users have noticed that signup doesn't work on Android. OAuth signup is broken on ALL captcha-enabled PDSes, not just ours. This is an hCaptcha regression, not the fault of Bluesky. We are incredibly grateful for @matthieu.bsky.team's work to resolve this. Follow along here:

github.comhCaptcha stopped working due to a COEP error · Issue #380 · hCaptcha/react-hcaptchaWhen hCaptcha is embedded from a page that has COEP headers, it should also return COEP headers. It seems that hCaptcha somewhat recently stopped serving COEP headers. I previously reported this in...

You can auto-delete your Spark stories after 24 hours!

We are in the process of taking down thousands of bots on our PDS. This effort is largely automated but all takedowns are reversible. We support the ability for people, including those in Gaza, to raise money, and we encourage any legitimate accounts wrongfully taken down to use the appeals process.

0.8.0 is out now with a completely redone story posting experience, along with multiple improvements to search, DMs, and a lot of bug fixes. Try it out! Download the beta at sprk.so/downloads

0.7.0 is out now! 🔔 Notifications are here! You can now see who interacts with your posts and comments and get notified when they do. ❤️ A private likes tab on your profile shows you all the posts you've liked. 🥄 On the home screen, your active feed is now persistent across sessions.

Next up: we'll be focusing on bug fixes and polishing up user flows for the next few updates, while still adding missing features.

You love to see it... more of this, please. For folks abandoning TikTok after its US takeover, consider using something like @skylight.social or @sprk.so or similar systems that give you a similar feeling but on an open protocol underneath so you'll never have to "move" again.

Spark 0.6.0 is out now with one of our most requested features: OAuth, for both sign-in and sign-up! We also added a new UI for photo carousels and the app is over 30x faster on first loads and profile loads. Go try it out and let us know what you think!

0.5.0 is also rolling out now! It adds a ton of new features: 📽️ There's a fully redesigned editor for making videos 📨 You can repost posts and see which of your friends liked or reposted a post. 🚩 You can block people and report people & posts There's also haptics, labels, and a bunch of bug fixes.

#atproto devs: if you're interested in making or playing around with spark feeds, dm me for access to spark. i'd also love feedback on the template.

Spark@sprk.so

Want to make a custom feed for Spark? This template starts as a simple feed but has ~everything you need to make a personalized feed. 🔐 Set needsAuth=true to turn on authentication for a feed. ❤️ Ingest likes, follows & reposts by uncommenting a few lines. The ingesters & DB models are included.
