Some W users experienced problems today because W was relying on Bluesky’s AppView. When their AppView went down, parts of W went down with it. Our own AppView was already under development and it kept working. So we’ve now switched W over to our own AppView, currently serving verified users only.

The frustrating thing about this is that when you "Login with Bluesky", you're not even actually logging in with Bluesky The App. You may be using a Bluesky PBC-hosted PDS, but it has nothing to do with @bsky.app, other than it's the PDS you're assigned when you create an account on their client.

New project I built last week: a kind of "isblueskydownforeveryoneorjustme.com" dashboard, so I can stop wondering "is it my PDS or is it the AppView" when the app isn't loading - bookmark it for the next time something doesn't work but you're not sure what 🙂 status.feeds.blue

Bluesky isn’t just one app. It’s part of a much larger ecosystem, and your account is the key. Here are 7 useful apps you can log into with your @bsky.app account that you should know about.

So here's why we experienced a problem with Eurosky last night 🧵 Our systems (the PDS) were up and running as normal. The issue was that data from our systems stopped flowing into the part of the network (the relay) that lead to the Bluesky app.

Our team received a report of intermittent app outages at about 11:40pm PDT on April 15, 2026. They worked through the night to mitigate a sophisticated Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attack, which intensified throughout the day.

The application has remained stable since approximately 9 PM PDT, April 16 despite ongoing Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks. We have not seen any evidence of unauthorized access to private user data. We will provide a further update by end of day.
