A more open alternative, an independent developer is building a photo-sharing app for Bluesky called Flashes. The soon-to-launch app is powered by the same technology that underpins Bluesky, the AT Protocol, and has been built using code from the developer’s earlier Bluesky client, Skeets. At launch, Flashes will support photo posts of up to four images and videos of up to one minute in length, just like Bluesky.
