Hello to all tech enthusiasts! Today we’re diving into an exciting new application that’s making waves in the social media landscape.

This week, an Instagram-like app named Flashes launched publicly on the App Store and has already garnered attention with nearly 30,000 downloads in just the first day.

Developed by Sebastian Vogelsang in Berlin, Flashes operates on the same innovative protocol as Bluesky, ensuring a seamless user experience and a potential audience of over 32 million Bluesky users.

With Flashes, you can share up to four photos or videos of a minute each, mirroring the classic Instagram feel but with added customization features. No more being constrained by rigid algorithms!

The app gives users access to more than 50,000 custom feeds, allowing for a tailored content experience. Photographers can benefit from a special Portfolio Mode, showcasing their best work to visitors.

In addition, users can enjoy built-in filters to edit their posts, akin to the familiar Instagram functionality. Flashes is starting its journey by featuring the Blacksky community and their contributions to the platform.

It’s clear that Flashes not only embraces the familiar design we are used to but also seeks to enhance it with customizable options for a more engaging experience. So, if you’re looking for a fresh alternative in the world of photo sharing, Flashes may be just what you need!
