Very neat way to browse a feed.. Any plans to implement up/down voting?

Interesting idea, but I'm not sure it's gonna work in the long run. There is a key difference between reddit / forums and bsky / other apps like it. Forums are many to many, and the focus is around community. Someone (doesn't really matter who) posts something, and lots of people comment. You go there to read the voices of many people. Bsky / birdapp on the other hand focus on one to many. The person posting matters the most, and the commenters are usually "followers" or people interested in what one person has to say.
It's a key difference IMO, and the main reason I like forums and heavily dislike the twitter-style apps. I want to read the voices of many, not the voices of few "influencers". You can make it look like a forum, but it's still gonna be focused on the voices of few.
That being said, with reddit going crazy over the last few years (and especially this last election cycle), I'm open to suggestions on new places to try that focus on forum-style discussions.

Any way to collapse a thread? This is the one thing that's driving me nuts with the regular Bluesky interface, I want to skip past a thread and it's not easy to do. BS is doing threaded replies, but without a good interface for it.

I think there's an opportunity for an "architecture inspired by bluesky" reddit alternative. The reddit CEO recently said they intend to start charging for premium features, which may drive a large number of people away from the platform.

Seems like a good idea. I've signed up.
I did run into a 404 when trying to use the "Customize Channel" feature. And I also could have used a "preview" step before publishing so I could better understand what the channel-creation fields corresponded to before locking in a placeholder name.
Otherwise, it seems like a pretty straightforward proposition and a net positive, so thanks for building it!

You should disable PHP Warnings:

This is so cool idea. This is a very good example and probably give rise to many more ideas to build on the platform. I will have more feedback in the time to come if you can start a thread for that. Onward !!

I think I'm missing something; I tried to find a deeply nested thread[1] in order to see how that would work, but when clicking on the "view on bluesky"[2] it did take me to the … comment? post? … but there was no further context. Is this just a view on top of some specially curated comments on Bluesky?

nice looking page. how are Channels implemented? how do you decide which skeet goes into which channel? right now it looks a little noisy.

This is a really neat idea. Make sure you are around when reddit implements PPV and dies.

Wall to wall astroturfing on Reddit is killing it's usefulness since the election. We need an alternative that prevents botmasters from having 5000 accounts. One solution is doing like X/twitter and charging $8/month. Another solution would be using Meta's social graph. Is there some other way to prove you are a human?

Excellent idea! I'd focus on the open-sourcing and community elements (e.g. creating feeds) so it can get traction, rather than features like Markdown and longer posts at this stage.

I still mourn the loss of Apollo on my iPad. If you are looking for a guide to what worked and was wildly popular, mimic the things from that app.
Your app may be the thing that tips many people into Bluesky.
