Exciting* news - there’s a BlueSky client which lets you edit your posts.
(HT @grahamcluley.com)
It’s on iOS https://apps.apple.com/app/id6466340923; the only downside is it’s called Skeets

Starter packs are genius, but I was surprised there wasn't a list of them for people to find.
So I built it:
blueskydirectory.com/starter-pack...
The website monitors the packs being shared and adds the ones it finds to the database.
Missed your stater pack? Message me and I'll get it added.
