Benefits of an open network
Nov 24, 2024

While Bluesky looks like other social apps, it’s actually quite different. It’s an open network.

The app’s simplicity is intentional because user experience matters. In reality, you won’t need to know about the “open network” to use the app, in the same way that people who browse the Internet don’t need to know that it’s a series of tubes.

This blog post is intended for non-engineers. You can find technical docs for the AT Protocol here.

Bluesky as a browser
Perhaps you're using Google Chrome. Maybe you have some extensions installed: AdBlock, a password manager, a to-do list. There's a whole marketplace of extensions that are built by independent developers who do not work at Google. This is a win-win across the board: users can customize their browsing experience, independent developers have a way to distribute their apps, and Chrome is more likely to retain users by providing a useful service.
