Bluesky is enjoying a boon in popularity. The API access right now is nicely open, allowing people to create some interesting stuff around it. I like this idea from Matt Kane: a Web Component (<bluesky-comments>
) that loads up all the replies to any particular post like a comment thread. Imagine there is a post for every blog post you publish (like we do), instead of writing your own comment system you could just say “leave a reply on Bluesky” and that could be the whole commenting system. I hope get gets proper filtering.
