Feature isn't currently on because it needs to be fully tested, but it's a great proof of concept because this was one of the pain points for video.
Could mean we reenable gifs again in the future too.
I just finished writing a framework for handling preloading of video posts.
What this means is that when a video post is observed, the video will attempt to be pushed to the video pipeline service so that it will preload.
This means less "this video cannot be found" upon a video being posted.
Oh yeah, that’s a fingerprinting setting. I also use Librewolf but have to turn the fingerprinting to the CanvasBlocker extension which does a better job at compatibility but conflicts with the default settings.
I believe then all your scheduled times will be as if you were in UTC.
Timezones are an illusion, it’s way more fun being like “whenever~”
But yeah, which browser do you use that changes the behavior of datetime-local?
I’m curious, because that’s usually not something that privacy extensions change!
An example of adding a retweet/repost to a post that has not been scheduled yet. Now with more flavor!
"But Mr. Scheduler," I hear you ask, "Whyth can I not schedule more retweets for a post that hasn't been posted yet??"
"Ah", I reply, with a subtle smirk, "happen-chance you've checked the dashboard recently?"
Version 1.8.2 now has scheduling retweets for posts not even published yet!
Enjoy~
Just posted some fixes for video uploads failing, where it would just cascade and not allow future uploads.

Our current limits. Limits may increase or reduce based on overall usage, but this has been holding stable for the last few months.
Also 10 posts per thread limit.
Just fixed some bugs with editing posts and alt text. If anyone encounters new issues pls feel free to send me a DM.
Also site should be just a touch faster to load. Let me know if anyone finds anything that stops working.
Adding a new child post auto focuses the text field now, so you can just start typing instantly.
More UX bugs fixed today.
CSS makes me the biggest sad. So hard to get everything looking right in all the different screen resolutions and devices.
And then some element has some additional padding that causes the page to scroll and ruins your day.
Repost rule screen where rules you don't want can be deleted.
some hover overs with dialog as to how the funky math works
I also improved and fixed A LOT of UX with the retweet editor as well, this is much better on mobile now, and a little more responsive.
This also fixes the rate limiting messages just showing up as gibberish toast notifications instead of actual text.
Also fixes a couple of other small bugs.
A screenshot of the post buttons aligned horizontally. This CSS took forever to fix, as it was an issue with which browser you viewed it in.
Fixed the button row that appears over posts, so things are a bit more standard. Also fixed a couple of lingering bugs:
* Deleting a post would incorrectly wipe out any post you had in progress (unless it was a child post)
* Repost fields did not reset to default values properly.
Violation bar (which appears when issues like expired app pass or when bsky marks your account as deactivated/suspended and you recover it) now features an 1-click button to resolve on our side.
It would be great if it were a native feature; but if you're willing to go outside of bluesky itself, I've been using this thing to schedule posts for the past couple months. It works great; even lets you add a thread to a scheduled post and auto-repost it at certain time intervals
skyscheduler.work
Btw I used this neat little tool, furry-made, for the posts on Kothu's birthday (because there were a lot lol)
It all worked as intended, I'm impressed! Feel free to give it a try if you ever have a big day of posts coming, schedule posts in advance or program reposts :]
Psst you can now delete repost rules :)
It’s been a bit!
I don’t have any new announcements other than:
* site optimizations for accessibility and functionality
* adding password hinting (a term from 1Password to designate that a input box should be used to suggest a new password, and then automatically save it)
i scheduled them all for tmrw so prepare for that deluge of funny little animals throughout the day
(you should use @skyscheduler.work, it works w threads and reposts !!)
bsky.app/profile/skys...
I applied for a bsky blue checkmark for SkyScheduler. All the other schedulers have one. Figure it would be a good way to combat/nerf any phishing attempts.

A screenshot of a DM that says: -------------------------------------------- Hey there! This is an automated message to let you know that your SkyScheduler account is no longer automatically posting. This occurs when your BSky App Password either expires or gets deleted. If you did not mean to do this, log back onto SkyScheduler and provide an updated BSky app password in the "Account Settings" section of the dashboard. This message can only be seen by you. If you no longer want to use SkyScheduler or don't need to for awhile, no worries! This bot will only send you this message once (unless your password expires again after update).
Automatic messages if a bluesky app password is detected to no longer be working, either because the user deleted it or it expired.
Only ever messages once. Can easily be fixed by going into your dashboard and changing your app password. :D
Also:
* Due to some very heavy usage, there are now rate limits to posts/reposts. These are very fair limits and I believe 99% of users will never see them
* Fixed a bug where expired app password notices do not appear
* Fixed a few minor layout bugs
Wow this message sounds sketch, guess that’s what you get for using Siri dictation.
But for real, if you are having issues, send me a DM and I’ll look into it.
I also did fix the issue with repost rules not rendering right (only will fix on new posts)
Over the weekend we were subject to a DDOS attack (means a lot of bots visited the website at once to try to overload it).
This has been dealt with, but may have also banned some legitimate traffic as well.
If you are unable to connect to the SkyScheduler, please send a DM with your ip & browser.
This also fixes a bug where you could incorrectly hit your post rule limit if you accidentally scheduled the same post for the same time multiple times.
If you want to quickly update titles, you can copy an existing repost rule schedule and submitting. The duplicate rules will be ignored.
new dashboard changes here
the result of changing the title of a retweet post
I just pushed a feature that let's you rename retweets.
Instead of saying "Retweet of" with a link, you can just name the retweet to something else!
A cropped screenshot that shows a mouse cursor hovering over a button that says "Add Reposts"
Hey...want to add more reposts to a post after you've posted it?
What if you could...really...really...easily :)
All things that were delayed were eventually handled and recovered, just not as soon as I'd personally like. Should be better in the future.
