Decentralized social network Bluesky has open-sourced its codebase

Bluesky, the decentralized social network co-created by Jack Dorsey, the co-founder of Twitter, is making waves in the tech world. The platform, which is based on the AT Protocol, is designed to “give creators independence from platforms, developers the freedom to build, and users a choice in their experience”.

Bluesky has been in development since 2021, and on May 15th, 2023, it took a big open-source step forward. The platform open-sourced the codebase for its Bluesky Social app on GitHub, a move that fits well with its plans to build an “open and decentralized” social network.

The open-sourcing of Bluesky’s codebase is a significant milestone for the platform. It means that developers can now access the code and build on top of it, creating new features and integrations that will enhance the user experience. The move also ensures that Bluesky remains true to its mission of being a decentralized and open social network, where users have control over their data and their online experience.

Bluesky’s open-source codebase is already attracting attention from developers and tech enthusiasts. Many are excited about the platform’s potential to disrupt the social media landscape and create a more user-centric online experience.
