Indigo unifies Bluesky and Mastodon in one app

I had the opportunity to test Indigo before its launch — on the 12th — a social media app that unifies the timelines of Bluesky and Mastodon. The duo of developers, Aaron Vegh and Ben McCarthy, have experience in the field. They’re also behind Croissant, an older app that lets you post simultaneously to Bluesky, Mastodon, and Threads. Seen together, it’s as if Indigo were an evolution of Croissant — you can also post to Bluesky and Mastodon at the same time from Indigo. The app itself is well-polished, with smooth animations, snappy navigation, and a good set of options. The interface uses color to distinguish content from each platform: blue for Bluesky, purple for Mastodon. The standout feature is the solution the developers came up with for those profiles that post identical posts on both platforms (guilty as charged!). Indigo automatically identifies them and combines both posts into a single entry in your timeline. Right there you can switch between the Bluesky and fediverse…
