A Column-Based Dashboard for Bluesky

Alternate Interface

Author(s): Bruce Byfield

If you've switched to Bluesky but miss the old Twitter TweetDeck interface, deck.blue has you covered.

Long-time users of Twitter (X) may remember TweetDeck, an alternate dashboard that added features such as columns and improved tweet scheduling. Renamed X Pro, TweetDeck continues to exist, although its popularity has waned, partly because a free version no longer exists and partly because of the exodus from X in the last few months.

For those who once used TweetDeck and have since migrated to Bluesky (Figure 1), deck.blue (Figure 2), a TweetDeck clone, offers both free and subscription versions on Bluesky. At the time of writing, deck.blue as 19.7k followers on Bluesky, the sort of numbers that follow celebrities and major causes. Whether deck.blue’s use will grow with the platform is uncertain, since Bluesky’s default interface is still evolving and already offers many of the enhancements that once boosted TweetDeck’s popularity.
