Flashes, a photo-sharing app for Bluesky, opens beta


Flashes, an Instagram alternative built on top of the Bluesky social network, is now opening its doors to beta testers. Announced just weeks ago, the app

Flashes was able to quickly launch its beta thanks to Vogelsang’s ability to re-use code from his earlier app Skeets, a Bluesky client with north of 30,000 users. In time, Vogelsang aims to integrate subscription features into all his apps, including a way to make sure users don’t have to pay twice as they switch between his various clients. Like Flashes, Bluescreen is built on Bluesky for the time being, though Vogelsang is exploring the idea of expanding both to work with atproto more directly, which would allow for things like longer videos.
