Bluesky users lack basic discovery and personal-data tools

Bluesky users describe gaps in finding trending topics and quoted posts, and in saving, exporting, or reviewing their own likes and posts. The default app does not make these tasks easy, leaving people to look for separate tools or rely on workarounds. The signals point to several related needs rather than one must-have feature, so a companion product would need to prove that users value a bundle of utilities.

For bluesky users and power users. Mentioned from Dec 2023 to Aug 2026 on Bluesky.

  1. Is there a tool to save likes to an external db ? I was using Pinboard (pinboard.in) to auto save my like from the previous birdy site. I'd like to explore and make available all my likes to others :) (ie. students)
