Just pushed out new version of SkyDeck that removes the Popular feed. If it's something that you like you can add this Custom Feed that does the same thing.

The popular feed is going away. I will be removing it from SkyDeck very soon (today or tomorrow).

I will be focusing on making custom feeds easier to use next as this is the intended post discovery mechanism.

I took some time off from BlueSky and https://skydeck.social to reset and focus on what's important.

What did I miss?

Looks like you no longer need to use https://staging.bsky.app

You can now add custom feeds to SkyDeck.

I ❤️ it.

Thank you @jaz.bsky.social for making these feeds.

🔥🔥🔥 Custom feeds are coming to SkyDeck tomorrow 🔥🔥🔥

There is still a lot of work left to make the experience better but this should get you started.

Here is something interesting about custom feeds.

Technically, the feeds are handled just like posts, and since it is possible to embed a post and images at the same time it should be possible to embed a custom feed and images at the same time.

The official app does not allow it.

Custom feeds just came out in the official app and the pressure is on. I need to get this done in SkyDeck ASAP.

It will be awesome.

This is a long shot but I am trying to test some edge cases.

I am looking for:

- replies to deleted posts
- replies to posts by deleted users
- quoted deleted posts
- quoted posts by deleted users

If you have something please link it.

Hey @pfrazee.com. You’ve probably seen this already.

But in case you have not, this talks about you quiet a bit.
Jack Dorsey’s Bluesky Is Trying to Save the Internet
Dorsey thinks his Twitter copycat app called Bluesky can undo his mistakes, saving social media and perhaps the whole world along the way. It comes down to "custom algorithms." They ask bold question: if users control their feeds, will it save social media?

⚠️ We are currently experiencing a known issue with uploading images. We're working on a fix. Thanks for your patience!

This is affecting SkyDeck as well.

You will get an error when trying to post images.

You can now embed external links from skydeck.social

This is currently broken in the first-party web app.

Enjoy ❤️

Damn. I really thought that I would be able to ship external embeds tomorrow.

It turns out that there is more than one reason why those are still broken in the first-party web app.

I still think I can pull this off, but I need to be careful with server resources.

I am working on External Embeds and through some testing, I discovered that Yahoo's homepage loads ~ 14MB of resources.

That's INSANE. 🤯

You can now post images from SkyDeck.

No alt text just yet. I think I will focus on getting the external embeds done first.

I worked on the Image Uploads yesterday and I learned something you might find interesting.

- PNG vs JPG does not matter. SkyDeck converts everything to JPG.
- The maximum dimensions are 2000x2000.
- The maximum size of the image is 1MB

My son is turning 9. 🧁

Happy Birthday, buddy.

He is such a positive ball of energy. Loves soccer, dirt bikes, and fishing.

Here he is yesterday.

I was a bit stressed yesterday that I might be unable to wrap up basic functionality around posting in SkyDeck before Monday's Beta release.

There are a lot of use cases like reposting, quoting, replying, etc...

Today, I feel a lot better about it.
