BlueSky Link
TLDR: See https://blskyl.ink/
Intro
BlueSky is cool. Really. I like that it's less spammy than Twitter, without AI-driven feed that serves you garbage or ads. Ah, and sane UI that works isn't this a great thing?
However, BlueSky's profile link...
Problem
As of May 2024 to share profile on BlueSky you need to share link of the form: https://bsky.app/profile/${nickname}.bsky.social.
Which works fine but might be too long for no big reason. Let's be honest https://twitter.com/go_perf is shorter and simpler than https://bsky.app/profile/go-perf.bsky.social
Solution
Algorithm to solve imaginary problem:
Find short domain.
Redirect to BlueSky.
Done.
Solution:
Domain: blskyl.ink (blue-sky-link).
Code: https://github.com/cristaloleg/blskylink (Cloudflare Worker).
Done 🫡
No matter where your account is registered on bsky.social or on a custom provider behaviour is the same:
https://blskyl.ink/olegkovalov or https://blskyl.ink/bsky.app
Is it VC-founded?
I'm 100% sure someone will ask about the price and whether this website collects data. The answer is pretty simple: nothing like that.
It is and will be free, without gathering data and all nasty stuff. See the code on Github.
Conclusions
Maybe when BlueSky adds support for bsky.app/@go-perf (or similar), this little site will be obsolete, but it works for my friends and me now.
