Bluesky A social media jack is conveyed by all shops. Of course there is the main experience that replaces something like this X or Topics. But it’s not just about the text articles: you can soon be able Use an app like flashing Transform bluesky into a kind of Instagram. Before this drops, however, you can use another app to transform bluesky in Tiktok. It’s not quite there yet, but it is a fascinating look at a unique type of social media customer -an app that transforms a platform into something completely different.
Introduction of bluescreen for bluesky
Bluescreen Is a bluesky customer with a unique purpose: it identifies the videos from your bluesky feed and provides you in an endless scrolling interface in the tictok style. They neither interact with text -based articles nor do they see still images. It is as if Bluesky is offering a “only video” feed. But since they don’t do it, bluescreen exists.
It is a cool idea and it is also the idea behind flashing. Instead of isolating the videos in your bluesky feed, Blinc is isolating the images, which means that you can transform bluesky into an Instagram alternative. If you are surprised that two different Bluesky customers use the same strategy to achieve two similar results, this is because they were both developed by the same person: Sebastian Vogelsang.
Vogelsang announced in front of Bluescreen, but published the video app in front of the photo app. While we are waiting for the Bluesky Instagram to come here, we can try the bluesky Tikok instead.

In the execution, bluescreen does what it should, although there is definitely a few rooms for growing. As soon as you connect your Bluesky account with the customer, a video will be presented to you – just like you when opening an app such as TikTok or using or using Instagram roles or YouTube shorts. As with these services, there are several options to interact with the video: Tip on the heart button gives the video the same without having to leave the video feed itself. However, if you tap the remark, Bluescreen leaves the video feed and shows you the comments in another window. You can tap the button with the two arrows to re -publish the video and the Three point symbol to access additional control elements, e.g. B. Translation, approval and report. There is also a general mute in the lower right corner.
If you tap the video yourself, pull up the standard menu for iOS video control. From here you can play the volume of the video and pause, rewind or jump, air players or taxes if you prefer not want to create your iPhone with the general volume setting. Speaking of volume, this is my only main criticism of bluescreen, as it currently exists: each video is steamed by default, although the silent button says that the volume should be switched on. You have to tap this mute twice. Once to stall the video silently, and then again to think about it before it starts to play. You have to do this for every video through which you can hit through. Oddly enough, this is only a problem if you look through the speakers of your phone: Connect a few Bluetooth headphones and the videos subside. I can imagine that this is a mistake that will train birdsang in due course.
At the top of the page you can select the feed from which you want to draw videos from. On the App Store page you can choose from thousands of feeds. However, if this sounds overwhelming, you can use videos from your main feeds, such as: It is tidy to choose the astronomy feed, which I follow, for example, and see videos especially on this topic. (It also shows me that, due to the content of low quality, I may have to drop some of my fixed feeds.) You can also use the search symbol in the upper right to look for content that you like, in addition to finding trend topics. If you used a social media platform beforehand, you are familiar with it.
In theory, this could be a great experience. If you curate your bluesky feeds well enough, you can have a varied filter of all short-form videos published on the platform. It is still an early concept, so the user interface is not as fluid or polished as established video apps, but I can totally recognize the potential here.
Up your own videos via Bluescreen
However, this is not just a passive experience: you can use bluescreen to upload videos on Bluesky. If you click (+) on the bottom of the screen, you can select a video from your library to post bluesky via bluescreen. You can access light processing tools on the way, add a caption for your video, select who can respond to the contribution and the language of the contribution before publication. Remember: you don’t post on bluesscreen; Rather bluesky. It looks like you are posting on a new platform, but everything you really do is to publish a video on your existing Bluesky account.
