Bluenotes
Bluesky with Community Notes. Find your community among millions of users, unleash your creativity, and have some fun again.
bluenotes.social
I've built Bluenotes, a fork of the Bluesky app with Community Notes. Phase 1 beta is live.
bluenotes.social
Looking for thoughtful early testers. The algorithm needs data from diverse perspectives before it can identify helpful notes, so we're building that foundation first.

@cnviolations.bsky.social Thought you might like to know, I've implemented the Community Notes feature in a fork of the main Bluesky app. The Phase 1 beta is live at bluenotes.social.

Interesting writeup, i think one idea that is sort of similar to the UUID approach would be just using Tags to create ad hoc community spaces without central authority. Posting a record with #Seattle (ideally not inline with the text) creates a sort of community space in the indexing of the tags
