🚨 New App Just Dropped and It’s Basically Hot Instagram for Nerds 🚨

“Flashes” Is Like If Instagram and Bluesky Had a Baby and That Baby Was Hot, Confusing, and Slightly European

Moisturize those eyeballs because a brand-new photo-sharing app called Flashes just crash-landed into the App Store like a shirtless tech bro at Burning Man. Built on top of Bluesky (yes, that Twitter clone where everyone’s profile pic is a frog smoking a cigarette), Flashes is here to turn your sweaty gym selfies and latte art into high-brow cyber-aesthetic masterpieces. Kinda.

📸 What Even Is Flashes?
Imagine Instagram—but it went on a silent meditation retreat in Berlin, learned how to code in Rust, and came back with a *Bluesky handle*. That’s Flashes.

Instead of doomscrolling text posts from people who peaked in 2016, you get a sweet feed of hot pics and vids—filtered straight from Bluesky. Like, the app literally vacuums up all the pretty stuff from Bluesky and slaps it into a scrollable gallery of ✨vibes✨.

No drama. Just pixels.

🧠 How It Works (But Make It Sexy)
* Flashes was coded by Sebastian Vogelsang, a man whose name sounds like a luxury fragrance but who instead birthed this app.
* Runs on the **AT Protocol** aka “atproto,” which sounds fake but is real.
* You can post:

• Up to 4 images per post
• Videos up to 3 minutes (hello, thirst traps!)
• Filters! Because obviously.

And when you post on Flashes, it shows up on your Bluesky too. Basically, one post = double clout. Just make a second Bluesky if your alt ego needs to stay unproblematic.

🎯 Built-In Insta Vibes
Flashes has all the good stuff:

• Scrollable feeds
• Likes, reposts, replies
• Profiles with curated Portfolios for photographers or people pretending to be photographers
• Cat pic feeds, art feeds, probably a niche frog meme feed—whatever your niche, it’s in there

🛠️ How to Start Flashing (Legally)
1. Get a Bluesky account (either already have one or sign up inside Flashes).
2. Email. Password. Birthday. Sell your soul. The usual.
3. Boom—you’re in.
4. Now go post something stupid and beautiful.

💸 Is This Gonna Cost Me?
Right now, Flashes is free, but you know that can’t last. Our Berlin tech daddy Sebastian wants to add:

• Premium subscriptions
• Push notifs
• Multiple accounts
• Bookmarks (aka the “I’ll watch that later” button we all ignore)

Also coming soon:

• Stories-style disappearing posts
• Albums
• Android support
• Importing pics from other platforms (RIP your camera roll)

Eventually, Flashes might become its own platform built on AT Protocol and not just Bluesky’s artsy side hustle.

🧼 Final Verdict
Flashes is like Instagram… if it:

• Went to therapy
• Got a master’s in decentralized social networking
• Refused to sell your data to Mark Zuckerberg
• And looked damn good doing it

So if you’re over being shadowbanned on IG and want to post thirst traps with dignity, download Flashes immediately.
