Colibri Social
@colibri.social
Chats where you truly own your data. Colibri is the real-time chat app for communities big and small, built on the AT Protocol. Made by @lou.gg and @otterlord.dev.
So, awkward bit of info. If you signed up for the waitlist before, we'll have to ask you to sign up again. We forgot to properly wire in the database connection. Terribly sorry about this one!
We've got news related to tomorrows launch, and unfortunately, they're not good ones: we've decided to delay the release planned for tomorrow until permissioned data is ready to be used. Please read our blog post for more information. colibri.social/blog/3mrfnnn...

An update on the scheduled Colibri release for July 25.

An open network is only open when it's easy to distribute 🛜 That's why we've made our AppView easy to self-host - and included a federation feature so it can talk to other AppViews! Available for testing July 25.
Voice channels are where you communicate - and now, they're built into our AppView, making it easier than ever to have voice and video calls! 🔊 The new AppView will be available July 25.
🔒🔒🔒 Let's talk permissions 🔒🔒🔒 When the beta drops, you'll be able to define which roles can do what, where they can chat, and if they can join voice chats. 🎉 Available July 25

Yes, close to launch. Expect us to start vague-posting soon... Oh, and for no particular reason, anyone reading this on an Android device might want to turn on notifications for our future posts 👀

Annoyed by those pesky ghost pings? Yeah, we were too. So we made sure you know what happens when a message that pinged you gets deleted.
Have an overview of all our text styles! That's it. That's the post.
Colibri for Desktop is so 2026. The future is Colibri on Mobile 📱 Including swipe controls, forward/back nav for sidebars and sheets, and mobile-compatible drawers! Coming soon™️ to a device near you.
Did we mention that we're making Colibri's AppView self-hostable (and even trying to bake voice chat into it)? You'll be able to choose the AppView host from your app's settings.
We head that timestamp feature a certain app has is pretty good ⏰ (oh also we'll have code blocks and quotes, look at the video background!)
So many new features in a single image! Try and spot them all 👀
Do YOU know a logo designer? ARE YOU a logo designer? Would you like to contribute a new logo for Colibri as part of the upcoming beta launch? Let us know by shooting us a DM!
Final feature post for the night: Social Providers! Switch to whatever you use instead of bsky.app. And if your favorite isn't there yet, let us know or add it yourself!
Don't mind me, just ensuring that @colibri.social runs on European Infra... (Shout-out @eurosky.social)
Did some one say PERMISSIONS? No? Well, we're doing that anyway. User on the left can only update channels, while the user on the right can also delete them.
