No, I’m not a spam account–just an enthusiastic web developer.

Already sent this on my main but celebrating on the alt too 🥳

Looking at this, my guess is that it’s used as an intermediary of some sort, maybe for bulk uploading of videos — potentially much longer ones. Have you tried to upload directly to com.atproto.repo.uploadBlob? Looking at my client I seem to have just gotten access. Will still look into it.

autumn 2 @amazingca.dev · Sep 12

I do think it's interesting that they have a separate endpoint just for uploading videos. My guess is that it's more direct, but not really sure why else.

autumn 2 @amazingca.dev · Sep 12

Interesting — maybe try to upload it through com.atproto.repo.uploadBlob. It gives you a cid and some additional information, which you can use to attach it to a post object.

autumn 2 @amazingca.dev · Sep 12

Huh, fascinating. Maybe there is a gate. I don't have access to upload from the Bluesky app though. What endpoint are you trying to upload to? The one that I'm using is com.atproto.repo.uploadBlob.

Still some limits to keep in mind:

Video files are currently maxed at 50 mb and 1 min length.

This

It might depend on the length of video you're uploading. To my knowledge they have it maxed off at 1 minute. Tried something longer and although it uploaded it doesn't load.

autumn 2 @amazingca.dev · Sep 12

Tried to do this as well. Don't think there's a backend prevention from uploading — just on client side. Currently adding video upload support to the Blue Wrapper and it's working just fine (with some limits).

Could do that

Huge news

Oh my fucking god. My first post on here is a screenshot that uses that emoji in a UI mockup because I thought it looked nice. Of all the emojis I could’ve used it had to be that one. 😭

Colorways are out for the Blue Wrapper. Starting thing off with six additional colors; green, yellow, orange, red, purple, and lavender. Depending on feedback I might shift some hues around to be more accessible/more visually pleasing.

will happen

I should also mention, you will need a privileged app password to use messages when they are supported. However, this is not a requirement to use other portions of the wrapper.

Hey all, here’s an update on rooms: I merged it with a closed feature flag for the time being. The biggest reason for doing this is so you’re able to change your message privacy settings in prod.

autumn 2 @amazingca.dev · May 21

This is an option. Maybe I’ll skeetify the wrapper for some easter egg thing, but I can’t make any promises…

autumn 2 @amazingca.dev · May 21

That’s great

autumn 2 @amazingca.dev · May 21

Just to clarify, “rooms” is the term I’m using to refer to ATProto DMs in the Blue Wrapper. Was the cleanest alternative that came to mind. This might also change later on, but I like how it sounds at the moment.

autumn 2 @amazingca.dev · May 21

Rooms support for the Blue Wrapper is coming along, here’s what I’m thinking it’ll look like:

autumn 2 @amazingca.dev · May 15

super smooth, let's just hope it keeps staying that way

autumn 2 @amazingca.dev · May 14

Pretty simple update to the notifications page. Not the cleanest at the moment, though still allows you to set your "seenAt" datetime. Happy to finally get this in here.

autumn 2 @amazingca.dev · May 12

This is what usually happens, yeah.
