## List of features
11
+
12
+
Main parts of the app:
13
+
14
+
* viewing threads (look up by [bsky.app](https://bsky.app) URL or an at:// URI)
15
+
* listing quotes of a given post (including "detached" ones)
16
+
* hashtag feed – latest posts with a given hashtag
17
+
* personal statistics & search tools:
18
+
- posting stats: statistics of who posts how much
19
+
- like stats: who likes your posts and vice versa
20
+
- timeline search: search in the recent posts in your Following feed
21
+
- archive search: search in your likes, reposts, quotes and bookmarks (pins)
22
+
23
+
Also:
24
+
25
+
* liking comments in the thread
26
+
* loading contents of a blocked post on demand
27
+
* detecting & loading "hidden replies" hidden by Bluesky because of a "nuclear block" (look for an orange link with a "biohazard" icon)
28
+
* alternatively, both "hidden replies" and blocked post links can be hidden for peace of mind by turning off "Show infohazards" in the top-right menu
29
+
* "incognito mode" which lets you browse threads logged out but still be able to like comments from your account
30
+
* displays outline tags (the `tags` field in the post record), link cards for normal links, starter packs, feeds and lists
31
+
* special handling for Mastodon posts bridged through [Bridgy](https://fed.brid.gy) – full post content beyond 300 characters is loaded from the record data
32
+
* Tenor GIFs are loaded and played inline once you click on the tenor.com link card
33
+
* nested quotes (quote-chains) are automatically loaded beyond the first level
34
+
* self-replies are collapsed into a flat vertical list if possible

## TODO

## What is currently missing (but planned)
13
38
14
-
* showing images and GIFs
39
+
* images and videos aren't shown inline yet, only as links like `[Image]` (I'll need to make sure first that labels and moderation preferences are always applied as needed)
40
+
* UI is not currently designed with mobile phones in mind (though it *should* work)
41
+
* OAuth support – only app passwords are supported
42
+
* easy configuration of things like date format, language, preferred AppView and other services, enabled labellers, some UI preferences etc.

You can also download a zipped copy of this repo or clone it and use it locally – just open the `index.html` at the root of the project, no need to start any servers!

+
## Development
56
+
57
+
If you want to make any changes, you'll need to install [Bun](https://bun.com) and install the project dependences with `bun install`. Use `bun build.js` or `bun serve.js` to recompile the bundles in `dist`.
