Bluesky has a new app on Windows 11 that promises exclusive new features and an attractive layout.
The new app, calledDarkSky for BlueSky, has a modern design that fits in on Windows 11.
DarkSky for BlueSky is one of the first third-party apps for Bluesky available through the Microsoft Store.
Since DarkSky is so new, it receives updates quite often.
The app just received an update that brings it to version 0.3.7.
That version number shows how new this app is.
The main focus of development for DarkSky for BlueSky is reaching feature parity with the web.
Here’s what shipped with DarkSky version 0.3.7.
At this point, I wouldn’t recommend DarkSky as your main Bluesky client.
It works, but it’sveryearly in its development.
While DarkSky is not a full Bluesky client right now, it is a petri dish for app development.
I spoke with FireCubeStudios, the developer of DarkSky, about what’s on the way for the app.
DarkSky will eventually support bookmarks, downloading videos, drafting posts, scheduling content, and other exclusive features.
What is Bluesky?
Bluesky is a happenin' place where all the cool people hang out.
Haven’t you heard?
It’s like X (formerly Twitter), except it’s not a dumpster fire.
That migration from X and wave of new users created a demand for Bluesky clients.
Last month, we coveredBeeskie, which is another Bluesky client.
Bluesky now sits at around 25 million users.
Back in September, the service only had 7 million users.
As it does, third-party clients will mature to fill specific niches within Bluesky.
