deck.blue

Hello! I'm <a href="https://gildaswise.com" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Gildásio</a>, a Software Engineer and I've been developing <a href="https://deck.blue" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">deck.blue</a>, a TweetDeck-like client for Bluesky by myself since 2023-08-08 and full-time since 2025-03-08. After I got removed from TweetDeck, I basically started this project out of spite. Bluesky is the only social network that I believe has the potential to be the new town square of the internet, and thanks to their immediately available and robust API support, I was able to start this as soon as I was logged out from my beloved column-based layout.<h3 style="">Development</h3>I'm basically developing all this alone from the start. The UI is based on the <a href="https://material.io/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Material Design</a> look that's available by default in Flutter, the framework I chose to develop this project. Later on <a href="https://shinyakato.dev/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Shinya Kato</a> joined and has been a huge help thanks to his <a href="https://atprotodart.com" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">atprotodart.com</a> suite of libraries to use with Flutter, he also worked on our custom Markdown link input and made all the link/mention/hashtag highlighting possible. Thanks to him, we were the first 3rd-party app to support hashtags on the platform!Why Flutter? Because it's what I've been working with for the past 5 years, developing many Android and iOS apps along the way. Flutter recently launched the Web support as stable, and I thought it would be an excellent opportunity to study it. Thanks to that, I was able to develop most of the old features in less than two months!<h3 style="">Design</h3>The brand identity was made by <a href="https://www.behance.net/tullece" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Tullece</a>, an amazing designer whom I've worked with before. The concept is the "sky when the sun is rising", still maintaining the "sky" theme but also having an accent color that's not blue. We also decided that our branding should be something separated from Bluesky, so if they ever change their branding, deck.blue will still be its own thing.<h3 style="">Helping</h3>By subscribing, you'll help with server costs and with the development of new features, as well as unlock a few membership-exclusive features!
