It supports core features like timeline browsing, posting, replies, reposts, likes, and profile viewing via a keyboard-driven TUI. Though primarily targeting macOS via Homebrew, it compiles easily on Ubuntu. The post walks through building it from source on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, covering dependencies, Cargo build steps, and first-run authentication using Bluesky app passwords. Alternatives like bsky (Go-based) and Perch (Rust-based, supports Mastodon too) are also mentioned. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
