Been working on this for the past few days. Very experimental, early, buggy, and NOT complete.
1️⃣ One small sneak peek for now.
For those who don't know me, I created Phanpy (web client for Mastodon) that has *a lot* of these kind of UI ideas & experiments. This allows me to experiment more.

Oh well, introducing Swablu, my yet another hard-to-pronounce web client, this time for Bsky.
Note that this is very early, experimental and buggy. Feel free to play around https://swablu.pages.dev/ and look at the code https://github.com/cheeaun/swablu

I want a completely different UI for @bsky.app not based on Twitter's. More like the Catch-Up feature in @cheeaun.com's Phanpy.social, but with people's faces as filters on the left hand side, and Feeds to the far left. In addition to raw feeds I want filtered views I can apply to them up top.

Just two weeks ago, three popular podcasters started an experiment. A community that's free from Big Tech, free from venture capital looking for a big payout one day. No ads.
They're nearly at 10k members now, and can connect with millions of others.

Note that there's no edit history. So, if Bsky implements this one day, it should have historical record of previous edits 🤞
PSA: Anisota now has an edit button.
Yes, you can edit Bluesky posts.

That D0, D1 indicators look cool 🤔
Thoughts:
- Not sure how that minimap would also visualized nested threads/replies 🤔 if there's any nested UI?
- Wondering how filter would affect replies of a thread, conversations might "cut off"? Looks like only can filter by author? 🤔

New Thread View + Minimap
A blend of both new and familiar elements, the reimagined @anisota.net thread viewer makes reading replies so much better.
➳ Navigate via an interactive minimap
➳ Search thread or filter by author
➳ Jump to specific posts instantly

ok i prototyped this thing. even in algo feeds (like Discover), the previous stuff you've seen gets pushed down after "pull to refresh" instead of being gone completely
and for chronological feeds there's now a "Load More" that fills in the gap between freshest stuff and last stuff you've seen

Kinda disappointed that the resize cursor doesn't smoothly rotate around the curves of the window edges.

It's been 2 weeks since beta launch and we'd love to hear from you...
What features, bugs, or design patterns cause you to choose other Bluesky/ATProto clients over @anisota.net still?
Your input will help inform what gets prioritized and focused on! 🕯️

Mutes are private, right? 🤔
I am implementing a bookmark feature in TOKIMEKI, and the main reason why this feature is not implemented in the official app is probably because of the requirement that bookmarks should be private. (1/3)

it's been a long time coming, but i'm happy to share that my latest creative project is finally here...
@anisota.net is an experimental social client (and game!) for Bluesky and the AT Protocol
i built it for me because i'm kinda weird and needed an equally weird way to experience social media 🕯️

Fascinating to see BusRouter, an unofficial bus route visualisation tool developed by @cheeaun.com, used by Bus Controllers at Operation Control Centres operated by official transit agencies
Not everything has to be proprietary - what’s open is often also decent
