Launches: Credible Exit, Bridged User Notifications, & Fediverse Re-Bridge

booksky.inkhappy Monday, I wrote up my decision-making around our new endpoints.bsky.app HTTP reference! Thanks everyone for the push to do this ๐
About the new endpoints.bsky.app
alex-bsky.leaflet.pubIn 2026, @bsky.app is focused on whatโs next for open social: bringing together users for conversations around live events, creator and platform monetization, and private state, giving users truly private data while preserving ownership and portability at the protocol level.
In the *last day*, a bunch of apps in the Atmosphere are starting to adopt this proposal! Thanks to everyone who has helped out ๐๐ป - @mu.social โ - @semble.so โ - @aturi.to โ - @leaflet.pub โ - @frontpage.fyi โ - @bsky.app โ - @pckt.blog โ (just reached out)

surprise! Shipped something on a Friday ๐ endpoints.bsky.app is the new home for the HTTP API reference that used to live in docs.bsky.app โ should be much easier to reference for quick lookups and you can even mock up / test endpoint responses in the browser!
