Bluesky Post Processor Launcher

This bookmarklet opens the current BlueSky post in a dedicated BlueSky Processor tool (hosted on austegard.com) in a new browser tab. It is intended for use when viewing a specific post on bsky.app.

Purpose

The primary purpose of this bookmarklet is to provide a quick way to analyze or process a BlueSky post using an external tool. It constructs a URL for austegard.com/bsky-processor that includes the handle of the post's author and the post's ID, allowing the external tool to fetch and display information about that specific post.

Features

  • Redirects to Processor Tool: Opens a new tab pointing to https://austegard.com/bsky-processor/.
  • Extracts Post Details: Parses the current BlueSky post URL to get the author's handle and the post ID.
  • Passes Details as Parameters: Appends the extracted handle and post ID to the processor tool's URL.
  • Error Handling: Alerts the user if they are not on a valid BlueSky post page.

Installation

Easy Install

  1. Visit Bookmarklet Installer
  2. Drag the created bookmarklet to your bookmarks bar.

Manual Install

  1. Create a new bookmark in your browser.
  2. Set the name to "Bsky Processor" or similar.
  3. Set the URL to the JavaScript code found in bsky_processor.js.

Usage

  1. Navigate to a specific post on BlueSky (e.g., https://bsky.app/profile/username.bsky.social/post/123abc456def).
  2. Click the "Bsky Processor" bookmarklet.
  3. A new tab will open with a URL similar to https://austegard.com/bsky-processor/?handle=username.bsky.social&post=123abc456def, loading the post in the external processor tool.

How it Works

The bookmarklet executes the following steps:

  1. It checks if the current URL matches the pattern of a BlueSky post: https://bsky.app/profile/{handle}/post/{postId}.
  2. If it matches, it extracts the {handle} and {postId} from the URL using a regular expression.
  3. It then constructs a new URL for the processor tool: https://austegard.com/bsky-processor/?handle={handle}&post={postId}.
  4. Finally, it uses window.open() to open this new URL in a new tab.
  5. If the current URL does not match the expected BlueSky post format, it displays an alert message: "This bookmarklet only works on a bsky.app post page."
