A preview of what's coming. This completes the set of features I wanted to build on Zeens (Except Groups, I dropped that idea after learning how complicated it can become). If all goes well, you will now be able to publish a portfolio page on @zeens.app using collections you already have. 🤞🏽

@zeens.app feed is looking particularly beautiful today 😍 The IOS app is still work-in-progress. working out some issues on my developer account with Apple's support. But honestly, at this point it feels like Apple support doesn't really help. They just copy-paste the same email again and again :(

@zeens.app updates: End-to-End Encrypted Chats using users' own PDS - The messages stay on your own PDS servers. Encrypted messaging was the only option because without encryption, everything you save on your PDS on ATprotocol is public. It should work, but may have some UI bugs - zeens.app

I've discovered @photosky.at and am trying it out for a bit now. It's a semi-separate network, built for photography, with features like categories, collections, EXIF and location tagging. It's also built on the AT protocol, so posts and interactions can cross over to Bluesky. I like it so far!

@photosky.at will be moving to a new domain and identity in a few days. No changes to the existing users - all your posts, likes, comments, collections, will remain accessible on the new website. if you have shared links to photosky on any other websites, those links will redirect automatically.

@photosky.at now has an option to explore photo locations using a map. It's only limited by the data at the moment because of the small user base. Hopefully this will grow and become a real tool to help plan a photography trip 🤞🏽

@photosky.at / photosky.at update - Most responsive issues have been fixed. I still have a problem with the home page opening in zoomed-in view by default. The new post/upload flow needs some work. Multi-step forms are not good UX on a mobile phone.

A very early preview of @photosky.at is live. It's very much still beta. But if any of you want to preview it, there is an option to request an invite code. It's full of bugs, of course. But the basic functionalities are working, including feed builder, exif finder, groups, etc. (1/2) photosky.at

@photosky.at this looks very interesting. but please for the love of everything holy in this world. please rebrand, "blue" or "sky" should be avoided at all costs. i will be watching, this is awesome 👀

The feedback from some #photography community has helped shape some of the features. If you can spare a couple of minutes, please fill out this survey. 💙

I am building an AtProto Client focused on photography and community. I would love to ask the #photography community about your preferences and current experiences with various platforms. Will appreciate it if you could give me 4 minutes and fill out this survey ❤️ - docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

WIP : 1. PhotoSky PDS - PSky.Social 😆 2. An Inspire Tab (similar to explore) for curated content 3. Social Photo Curation - Groups can publish curated feeds, users can subscribe. (on Psky and Bsky) moderation is still giving me headaches. #PhotoSkyBuildLog

Big Progress: - Groups are working - Adding, removing photos to groups, inviting people and photos to the group - Notifications - Bluesky notifications, PhotoSky notifications (group activities) - A better photo upload flow - Using Exif and self-declaration to keep the feed free of AI Slop (1/2)

The UI is looking clean so far :) The right sidebar is just dummy content - I am yet to build out the features for badges and contests.
