 As the "Great Social Network Wars" carry on (my term, not anyone else), I'm finding myself more and more enjoying Bluesky. I do more posting on Mastodon, but Bluesky reminds me a lot more of early Twitter. Threads is... ok, but has felt too corporate. I can't even remember the last time I checked it. Earlier this week, I was poking around the Bluesky API and was **incredibly** happy to discover that their [Search API](https://docs.bsky.app/docs/api/app-bsky-feed-search-posts) does not require a key and supports CORS, which means a simple client-side application could make use of it. In the past I had built similar tools for Twitter, back when it had a decent API, and I thought it might be fun to build something for Bluesky, specifically, a way to monitor sentiment of keywords in real time. Here's what I created.
