Last week, Soapbox Software (Ben McCarthy and Aaron Vegh) released Indigo, an iPhone, iPad, and Mac app that offers a unique take on social media, allowing you to log into both Bluesky and Mastodon in a single app. In the increasingly fractured social media landscape we live in, it's a fantastic idea. Instead of bouncing
If you’ve been enjoying Indigo but think it could be just a *tiny* bit better, we’d love to hear from you:
Some thoughts on Indigo, the recently-released app that allows reading a unified timeline and cross-posting between Bluesky and Mastodon: It’s a really neat app today and even more promising going forward. It is not as polished as Ivory for Mastodon, but at 1.0 it’s **already in the ballpark** and getting better. As for Bluesky, it’s way better than the official Bluesky web and iOS clients.
What I love: Syncing your service auth tokens between your devices is a killer feature in terms of day-to-day usability, because you don’t find yourself constantly re-authenticating to Bluesky. Detecting and deduping crossposts is awesome.
What I want to see: Better scrolling performance (it’s already better at this than the official Bluesky client, however), and Mastodon server-set post character limits reflected correctly.
More software like this, please!
Huge thanks to @davidpierce for including Indigo in this weeks Installer 💜

This took stupid amounts of effort to get right, I’m so glad someone noticed 🥲
