This might sound wild or controversial, but has anyone thought about using the bluesky app and adapt it to work with the mastodon API? By this way making it easier for more people?
I think often people find it easier to write their own code than to make changes to other people's projects, so it's not necessarily very easy to change the Bluesky app to work with the Mastodon API rather than the Bluesky one.
That said, I don't think it's a dumb idea. Bluesky has a lot of money to pump into UX development, so making sure Mastodon users could benefit from this wouldn't be a bad thing. Personally I am perfectly happy with the alternatives already out there (Phanpy is better than anything else that has ever existed), but it's all about choice. :)
This is kinda what Surf will be, no? Still in closed beta but it aims to be a browser for the entire federated net, including Threads and Bluesky and all.
I feel like billionaire media isnt okay so no, the thought would never ever cross my mind.
But i can see how different folks need different strokes so go ahead.
All I ask is that folks keep in mind that this is a centralized social media platform that has a size advantage over the fedisverse (i assume) and therefore poses a threat of barren wasteland attack.
I think you misunderstood what I'm referring to. The bluesky app is open source and it has the same UI as twitter, basically. I'm talking about forking the project to make it compatible with Mastodon.
