Tapbots' Developers Make Bluesky Client
Tapbots, the developer behind Tweetbot and Ivory apps, is working on a new iOS and Mac app called Phoenix for Bluesky, a relatively new social media platform. The company plans to release Phoenix this summer, with an initial limited public alpha launch soon after. Tapbots aims to support both Ivory and Phoenix concurrently, acknowledging that their customer base has become split between the two services.
- This move highlights the need for developers to navigate the complexities of emerging social media platforms like Bluesky, which promises a decentralized and more open approach to online interactions.
- How will the success of Phoenix impact Tapbots' ability to sustain its business model, given the uncertain long-term prospects of both Mastodon and Bluesky?
