Hey Peter! We sent you a message explaining more about this.

What a shame! š„²
Thank you for using our service, migrating so many people's content was rewarding š
[17/17]
This project now comes to an end. But we move on with the certainty that every second was worth it. It was beautiful. It was unique. It was ours.
With love,
Amós (and also Nicolas and DĆ”let). š

Again, thank you. Truly, thank you. To everyone who trusted, shared, interacted, criticized, supported. Thank you for the patience and for the affection. There are no WORDS that can explain our gratitude. +

BlueArk changed my career choices, my way of thinking about the future, my view on communication. It changed the path of the three of us. And if it changed your life even just a little bit, then it was already worth it all. +
[14/17]
And one request: support the free tools, the independent devs, the projects that keep Bluesky alive. Donate, pay, value them. They need it to continue. Thatās how we build freer and more transparent spaces. +
[13/17]
If you still have an operation in progress, write to: blueark@blueark.web. Since the last announcement, weāve been finalizing everything possible. What we cannot deliver will be refunded. +

Thatās why we decided to officially shut down the service. The website will go offline. It wasnāt an easy decision, but it was the most honest one. And I want you to know: thereās no regret. On the contrary. Only pride and gratitude for what we lived. +
[11/17]
But life moved on. Revenue fell, free tools appeared, and we couldnāt launch a new product before needing to return to the job market. BlueArk was no longer sustainable for the three of us. +
[10/17]
We know we contributed to the migration from X to Bluesky. Not alone, of course. But we were part of it. And being part of that historic moment, seeing the community grow and knowing we helped, is something Iāll carry forever. +
[9/17]
And the most important thing: BlueArk wasnāt just about us. It was about the people who believed, trusted, paid, recommended. Everyone who had patience with bugs, every client who insisted on valuing our work, every interaction. You were the reason for it all. +

We didnāt get rich, far from it. But we were happy. We laughed a lot, felt proud, made mistakes, got things right, grew. BlueArk was both a lab and a shortcut. It was learning, it was challenge, it was the courage to leave the ācertainā for the āuncertain.ā +
[7/17]
These details may seem small, but they were huge in our lives. BlueArk paid for courses, opened doors, bought us time. It allowed us to dream about new career paths that might have taken years to appear. +
[6/17]
Roxo Solto, our agency, also grew through this. We were able to upgrade equipment, buy new phones, and attract clients who came precisely because we could dedicate ourselves in that period. All of this was sustained by what we built here. +
[5/17]
DĆ”let, whoās also my partner in another business, could dedicate herself to it a while longer and finally dive into audiovisual, discovering a new passion. I finally managed to release my first song and also do theater. Small things only possible because BlueArk existed. +
[4/17]
The most beautiful thing is that BlueArk didnāt change our lives because it made us rich, but because it gave us tools. Literally. Nicolas left behind an 8-year-old PC that overheated and shut down. I, a publicist and artist, replaced my limited PC with one that runs anything smoothly. +

We left our formal jobs and threw ourselves completely into this. I woke up and went to sleep thinking about how to reply to SO MANY skeets, DMs, requests, bugs, operations. At its peak it was exhausting, but it made sense. We deeply believed in what we were building. +
[2/17]
BlueArk was born from a conversation between me and Nicolas, in the middle of the chaos when X was blocked in Brazil. He took vacation from his job and spent 14h a day coding. DƔlet joined later in support, and suddenly we were at the center of a global conversation we never planned. +
[IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT] [1/17]
Hey folks! Iām back, back again with⦠another announcement! Almost one year later, itās time to say goodbye to BlueArk. I, Amós, write here in the first person, because I want this to be a sincere letter, open-hearted, to everyone who walked this journey with us. +

As for the API method, we canāt promise a comeback yet. The decision depends on technical feasibility, costs, and user demand.
We love what weāve built - but rewriting everything with so little usage might be unworkable. Weāre evaluating carefully and transparently. š
[4/5]
What we do know for sure:
ā
The āvia archiveā method (the classic Twitter Archive) is temporarily under maintenance due to this same integration issue.
But it will be back up next week! šļø
[3/5]
Rebuilding our codebase for this new API reality would be a massive task. We're assessing if it's even viable - it would take weeks of work, for a service that now processes just 1 or 2 sales a day.
[2/5]
That means our import system via API (which automatically accessed your public tweets) is currently 100% offline. š
The APIs we relied on have changed everything: structure, access, cost⦠and are now basically unusable.
šØ Important update about our downtime [1/5]
The unofficial APIs we used for crawling (the method that allowed us to fetch your tweets directly from X/Twitter) have stopped working. Twitter has made several changes to block external API usage.
[3/5]
Recriar todo o nosso código pra essa nova realidade seria um trabalho gigante. Estamos estudando se é viÔvel fazer isso, mas envolve semanas de desenvolvimento⦠pra um serviço que atualmente tem 1 ou 2 vendas por dia.
[2/5]
Isso significa que o nosso sistema de importação via API (que acessava seus tweets pĆŗblicos automaticamente) estĆ” 100% fora do ar no momento. š
As APIs que usÔvamos mudaram tudo: formato, acesso, custos⦠E hoje estão basicamente inutilizÔveis.
Hi! Yes, youāre absolutely right our site has been partially offline these past few weeks. Weāll be posting a full update on our social pages soon. We had also announced when we went offline, but we know itās been confusing. Thanks for your patience! š bsky.app/profile/en.b...
Sadly, replies, RTs and likes canāt be migrated either due to API restrictions. Still, weāre glad the archive helped!
Hey Finch! Thank you so much for your feedback and for using BlueArk! š
There are a few limitations to the migration especially with long threads. If the thread had big gaps in time between posts, it may have broken during import.
