But we’re just two humans trying to build nice things that people enjoy, and NOT raise VC money so we can eventually show you ads or sell your data 😮‍💨

And for the design geeks, Ben put together a deeper dive on how Indigo’s UI has evolved since we started work on it, here: https://benricemccarthy.ghost.io/indigos-design-evolution/

While we’re incredibly proud of Indigo and the work we’ve put into it so far, we’re equally excited about its future and being able to iterate and improve it in collaboration with its users. We’ve got so many great features planned and we can’t wait to share more. ---Attachments--- image: https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/116/561/962/735/721/265/original/b986495d1e9939ad.jpg

Reply to @soapboxsoftware@mastodon.social Soapbox@soapboxsoftware@mastodon.social (2026-05-12 23:00:03) What’s really special about Indigo is how quickly you stop thinking about Bluesky and Mastodon as separate destinations. Building on our work for Croissant, Indigo makes it as easy as possible to post to both networks and to share posts between them.

Of course, if you only use one service, Indigo works great for that too. ---Attachments--- image: https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/116/561/962/662/892/063/original/368834d1c00058ca.jpg

Soapbox@soapboxsoftware@mastodon.social (2026-05-12 23:00:02) Introducing Indigo

A beautiful new app for Bluesky and Mastodon and the best way to experience both social networks together. It’s tough keeping up with everyone you care about when they’re split across different networks but Indigo brings them together for a seamless social experience.
