Is this still an issue?

KingGamingYT commented 8 months ago

I find this to occur on older browsers, specifically I've seen it happen on Firefox 7x versions. This makes the site entirely unusable on older browsers. It's not unreasonable that the Bluesky website wouldn't work on older browsers, but I couldn't find anything online or in documentation about minimum browser requirements. React Native says it can run at a minimum of Chrome 60+ or equivalent, so I am unsure what the compatibility issue is.

Sometimes it happens, but at the moment working without issue

mary-ext commented 8 months ago

when it happens again, can you open the Network tab on developer tools and reload? it might just be that problem with the speed getting choked while retrieving the JS assets

This continues to happen to me (as noted by KingGamingYT) generally on older browsers, but it seems as if it would be an unnecessary phail due to overbloated or kludgy coding. BSKY as a U.I. is a wonderfully simplified version of Twitter, however the paradox is that Twitter/X is highly compatible with older browsers, so it seems that it is an unnecessary complication to limit the usability of BSKY with sloppy or untested coding. Unless there is an intention of causing it to fail in slightly older browsers/system. This of course would be unfair to the majority of people who do not wish to invest in new hardware/software constatntly and frequently, and it also limits the user base. The very latest browsers continue to be more and more invasive to privacy, and I would gently implore the BSKY coders to restore a layer of compatibility for slightly older systems. Just in the past month it stopped working on one of my systems, and I'm reluctant to keep investing time in this if it will keep breaking.

Minor update! It's now a black page instead on the same browser. Nothing still loads, though. image

And if it's of any interest, this is all the console spits out. image

Having the same problem here, except I'm using Firefox version 88.0

So even in some more modern browsers! Seems like a bit of disregard for testing. Maybe they build on just one system and one browser!

Hello pfrazee.... How's things coming along with the compatibility progress? Would be great if you can get it to work as smoothly as X and most other sites.

Firefox 88 is not exactly a modern browser, it was released almost 3 years ago:

https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/88.0/releasenotes/

It has a lot of unpatched security vulnerabilities and it would be a good idea to upgrade to the latest version supported on your OS.

I have an update for this topic :) Now using Klearsky on the official development/projects page, I was able to use the BSKY web interface successfully (so far tonight) on my slightly older system. Thank you Klearsky!

image I'm finding that Klearsky sort of works on my old version of Firefox (Gecko 78.13.0 to be exact). It's functional but many elements are formatted improperly or can't be styled right.

Ah good, a step in the right direction at least, I hope! :) I'd also suggest trying Klearsky with some alternate browsers? For the purposes of this thread, I've been testing/using it with Opera portable version 68 on Windows.

sidenote: On Mac, I use Vivaldi or Safari, and BSKY already works (mostly) fine with those, but I have much more in the way of utilities and software on my Win machine so that's why I try to get everything working there as a primary solution.

On a slightly separate note, after a lot of digging, I've found that Ouranos (https://useouranos.app) works nearly flawlessly with the previously mentioned version of Firefox, and it more or less mimics BlueSky's original interface. Only thing that doesn't work is that attempting to navigate to settings at all will result in a page error, but I tested it and this happens on a modern browser as well. image

That's great to know! I earmarked 3 or 4 other ones to test sometime too, possibly, and that was one of them! So far I'm having 99% success with Klearsky, but it's always good to have a backup plan.
