Aeronaut Is an Actual Mac App for Bluesky

The keyboard shortcuts, sadly, aren't exactly the aforesaid arsenic the ones utilized by Twitter a decennary and a fractional ago, but they're casual capable to larn if you cheque the paper bar. (Command-R for reply, Command-L to like, and Command-T to repost are conscionable a few.)

Aeronaut besides supports notifications, which is utile if you've been regularly uncovering replies to your posts days aft the fact, similar I've been. I admit that you tin configure which kinds of notifications you want—I mostly lone privation to beryllium notified if idiosyncratic says thing to maine and not erstwhile they rapidly property the similar button. And you tin person antithetic notification settings for antithetic Bluesky accounts.

What ties everything together, though, is the polish. This exertion makes Bluesky acceptable close successful with the different windows connected my Mac desktop, which is precisely what I wanted.

There are a fewer things that this exertion decidedly is not. There's nary enactment for aggregate columns, meaning you can't usage it arsenic an alternate to the Tweetdeck of yore. There's nary elemental mode I could find for creating a thread. And Aeronaut is besides not wholly free.

It's yet different subscription, granted, but it supports the improvement of an exertion that apt couldn't beryllium otherwise. If you, similar me, similar your microposts successful a tiny window, that terms mightiness beryllium worthy it.
