Sorry for doomposting yesterday, had a mental breakdown.

Alright, I'll add it to the next update as an option.

The image is too low quality. It's gonna look bad on large windows.

I've considered adding it, but held off since it would probably be difficult. Maybe it'll be added within the next few updates?

Figured out why I couldn't log in. It was just a VM issue on my end.

For those of you not running 0.2.1, PLEASE UPDATE NOW! There is a critical bug in the code that is fixed in that version.

Strange, I'll try looking into this.

Do you have 2FA enabled? If you do, the client doesn't support 2FA yet.

Windows hides the file extension by default for some reason. If you can't find it, look for "Client" with the Bluesky icon.

Just tried that, didn't work. Another question, are you using an extended kernel to get it running?

how

You can place the folder somewhere and run the executable from it. Might make a proper installer at some point.

Should work now, just tested.

Hang on, I might have accidentally deleted a file in the binaries. It should work now.

The client doesn't work on Windows XP. You'll need Windows 8 at minimum.

I think the client has enough functionality for an early beta release. So here you go.

Also, I don't want to fill up this thread with updates on the client, so most information will be posted on @lhblueskytest.bsky.social.

A Bluesky client with a skeuomorphic design reminiscent of Windows Longhorn. The login screen is being shown.

The same client, but now logged in. A post by MondySpartan is open saying "Based on these...I also made variants for Windows Longhorn/Vista!". Attached are boot-screen concepts for pre-reset Windows Longhorn.

My profile is open.

The home page of the client. There is a section with four tabs. The first tab, titled "Discover," is selected. Above it is a box for posting, with the default text "Whats Up?".

Hey again. I know it's been a bit since the last update, so here's a few things that I've added since then.
- Actual MondySpartan logo and wordmark (Thanks Mondy)
- Feeds are actually functional, albeit a bit broken
- Profiles work as well
- Detailed posts work too!

I also wanna apologize for the lack of updates. The scope of this project was a bit bigger than I though. Plus, I have a lot on my hands right now, so I haven't had as much time to work on it. Anyways, I just didn't want y'all to be left in the dark, so here you go.

No, I use this theme mainly. Some other stuff I use is linked in the theme's README.

Modded Windows 10.

Not yet.

can confirm

I decided to make an actual Bluesky client inspired by this mockup. It's far from finished, but a good start nonetheless.

I used C#, .NET, and WPF to make it.

Since my post is gaining a bit of traction, I though I'd clarify that I'm still actively working on it. (The feed tabs appearance is temporary).

Shoutout to the abandoned Bluesky help page that is still linked on the site for some reason.
