Continuing our posting streak up to the release: Communities have been reworked! When the beta launches on July 25, owners can migrate them to the new system with a single click. 👇🏻

This community is still on the old format and can't be opened. Migrate it to a new community to unlock it.

You can tell we're getting closer to launch now... here's how our login screen and registration looks!

Annoyed by those pesky ghost pings? Yeah, we were too. So we made sure you know what happens when a message that pinged you gets deleted.

A box above the text input saying "The message that caused this ping has been deleted."

Colibri for Desktop is so 2026. The future is Colibri on Mobile 📱 Including swipe controls, forward/back nav for sidebars and sheets, and mobile-compatible drawers! Coming soon™️ to a device near you.

Colibri Social@colibri· Jun 26

We head that timestamp feature a certain app has is pretty good ⏰ (oh also we'll have code blocks and quotes, look at the video background!)

Colibri Social@colibri· Jun 26

So many new features in a single image! Try and spot them all 👀

Do YOU know a logo designer? ARE YOU a logo designer? Would you like to contribute a new logo for Colibri as part of the upcoming beta launch? Let us know by shooting us a DM!

Final feature post for the night: Social Providers! Switch to whatever you use instead of bsky.app. And if your favorite isn't there yet, let us know or add it yourself!

Colibri Social@colibri· Jun 23

Did some one say PERMISSIONS? No? Well, we're doing that anyway. User on the left can only update channels, while the user on the right can also delete them.

Two browser windows side by side. Both show a channel settings modal open, with a "name" text field. The left browser window is missing the delete button in the bottom left corner of the modal.

This is probably what role creation will look like!

Colibri Social@colibri· Jun 18

Don't mind @otterlord.dev being a quadruple owner of our test community. That's a bug, not a feature

Sneak-peek of messaging working with the new infra! You might notice a little notification bell in the top right, I wonder what that'll do... 👀

A screenshot of Colibri's interface, with a #general channel visible. The member panel is divided into a member with an "Owner" role and a member without a role. The chat window shows two messages.

We're still at it, and we're getting somewhere! Here's a quick peek at the first non-alpha community, complete with roles and a better permission system. All running on a dedicated, managed DID with our new appview: atproto.at/uri/at://did...

A screenshot of the reworked Colibri app. It looks very work in progress with the entire chat window missing, but the member sidebar and the channels of a "Test Community" are displayed. The member sidebar shows members ordered by roles, which was not possible in previous Colibri versions.

What's this? Both core maintainers, at the same place, working on the rework? 💻

Colibri Social@colibri· Apr 4

Thanks to @k4rnxg3.bsky.social, we know have a typing presence! 🧑‍💻

So, apparently we've managed to be the #4 post on news.ycombinator.com/news? 😅 (Down to 5th now, but still, that's crazy!)
