      I’ll tell you one thing that’s exhausting on a new platform: You have to go through the phases of people finding your content for this first time and misinterpreting or applying their unique circumstances to everything you say🙄

      I needed a bit more precision when searching for Bluesky users, so I built this user search app - and ended up fleshing it out more than planned! 😅 Would delighted to hear if you find it useful.

      A screenshot of the "Bluesky user search" interface from https://bluesky-user-search.netlify.app/ with a search query for "frontend." The interface includes options to search within "Name/Handle" and "Bio," both of which are checked. There is also an "Omit" field for excluding terms. Below the search bar are seen results users matching the search.
