curious how long you think it’d take to make a bluesky client. a day? a weekend? a week? a month?

hmm you already have a lot of experience so I'd say like 4 to 8 hours for a simple version for me probably like 2-3 days to figure out how the stuff works (tho i think Claude bro could really help me go faster idk)

A good one? Or a minimum viable product?

I figure a bare minimum client could be crunched out in a day but it wouldn’t be stable, fast or fully functional. For a really good one, I’d guess months but it’s also something that is never “finished” because of optimization and updates

A weekend for a decent MVP with some bug fixing and maybe some of you have some friends to poke at it nearby. That's probably what Bluesky itself took and then years of development lol

My phone deleted usability, but you probably got the idea.
