You can point your web browser to https://staging.bsky.app https://staging.bsky.app The team is too small to develop and maintain even an electron desktop app or something like that wrapping the existing react-native-web SPA. But this leaves space for fancy third-party apps, or integration into multi-protocol desktop apps, as needed.

It asks for an invite code, or there is a waitlist? Is it invite only/exclusive or something like that?

  its currently an invite-only beta, but i feel like we've dealt with worse randos than late night hacker news commenters, so here you go: bsky-social-55rkz-5aago

    Haha. Thanks. It's mid day here. Couldn't use the code. Looks like someone else beat me to it. But that's okay. Very kind of you. I think I will check it out later then.

    I have an invite, but I don't quite want to install it on my phone yet.

      If that’s an offer I’ll take it from you. I’m currently trying to evaluate the service on behalf of my company…but do not have an invite to…evaluate the service. My email is gutsy.03rhino@icloud.com. Thanks.

    Are invites given to waitlisted users in batches in FIFO order? What are my chances if I've just put my email down now?

I'm really excited about bluesky, but mobile-only is a non-starter for me. Is developing a third-party frontend with full functionality possible, given that (AFAICT) there's a permissioned element to the community?

The staging area would not accept my invite code. I got an error message that said "Invite code not accepted. Check that you input it correctly and try again."

  Is your code in the format of bsky-social-xxxxx? If so, they've been revoked and replaced with longer codes because people reported that their codes getting brute-forced.

    I can't see anything there, it asks me to log in.

    Thanks for replying; I don't know anyone else who has an invite. Yes, mine is in the bsky-social-xxxxx format. I checked my email but I don't see a follow-up invite.
