- It’s actually a complete SDK. Kinda pricey to integrate but maybe worth it.
- Checkout this feature on Lifehacker 🥰

- It happens when you have your device set to mute. The app tries to respect the setting, but I realize that makes no sense for a video app. So it'll be fixed in the next update.
- Here‘s what the user interaction with Bluescreen‘s timeline looks like

- Yes. Have already implemented this for @flashes.blue and will port it over to @bluescreen.blue soon

- It's a bug that occurs when you have your device set to mute / sound off. The app tries to respect that setting, but as many have noted that doesn't really make sense for a video app. I'll fix it in the next update. Sorry for the inconvenience.

- You‘re not alone! I will at least at a notification to let users know why audio is muted.

- That Navigation (swipe right / left) is not really accessible and hard to operate with a screen reader, which is why I have opted for the current implementation. Will see if there is maybe another way but tbh other stuff has higher prio atm

- Will fix this in the next update. IIRC the app respects your mute setting (sound off), which in this case makes no sense. Thanks for noticing.

- performance improvements next :)

- I don't know why news articles are saying that. But you can check the App Store developer info. You'll see that it's not developed and distributed by Bluesky.

- Nope, I’m a 3rd party developer and am not affiliated with Bluesky.
- I still have to write an FAQ for this. The short answer is: it depends. If you want an experience that is separate from your Bluesky persona, we recommend creating a 2nd account for Bluescreen. That way you also won’t receive notification twice (once within Bluescreen and once with the Bsky app).
- If you’re fine with seeing content twice in both Bluescreen and your Bsky client then you can just use your Bluesky account. There is also a term you can use as a mute word to not see content posted from Bluescreen in your regular Bluesky experience.

- I‘m actually pretty confident to start working on an Android version soon. Already have developers on standby.

- Yeah, I need to do performance optimizations!

- I’ll check. Should be.

- Thank you. The standard feed is handled by the wonderful @bsky.app folks.

- The 2nd default feed is an independent algo (by @skyfeed.xyz) which updates based on your likes.

- Already implemented. Coming in one of the upcoming releases

- The feed thing is still a little error-prone. If there aren't enough videos in the feed the app may run out of content to fetch and bail. But I'm looking into a solution for this.
