Bluesky posts in Electric Sheep

May 26, 2026 · Projects

I've been testing adding Bluesky posts to my news reader Electric Sheep. This is how it looks.

If you don't know what to look for it won't be obvious. Second post from the top by Tynan Purdy is a Bluesky post. It looks exactly like the post below it from Manton Reese. This is because Manton is cross posting to Bluesky from his blog and the post doesn't have a title, just like a Bluesky post.

There are some oddities though like this:

The link to the user addressed (using @user) in the post works and links to the Bluesky profile but it just feels off. It doesn't really make sense to me to link to a Bluesky user outside of that app and context.

For now this was an interesting experiment, and I might play around some more with it, but I'm probably not going to add it.
