How do I make this the default app for Bluesky links?

Open NatHarari opened this issue 10 months ago • 4 comments

I'm trying to figure out how to make this the default app to open Bluesky links. Currently, they open in the Bluesky app, which is tiny on my Mac screen and completely unreadable.

I know this isn't an issue/bug, but I couldn't figure out where else to ask.

Yeah I'd have to change some sort of setting in the app to associate bsky.app with Sky. If there's a way to do that so it's opt-in from the user's perspective, that would be ideal, as I don't want to introduce a conflict with the official app. I'll think on it.

That would be fantastic. It would solve a lot of problems which I have to get around manually when I find links in Google to check out. I just figured I'd ask and thank you for the prompt reply. It's very appreciated.

If that was possible then anyone would be able to make an app hijacking anyone's links. That's why it is required for developer to verify domain ownership.

Checkout apps Openin, OLW, those allow configure rules.

@romanr that might be true for App Store apps but Sky.app is self-distributed. I'm not sure though
