Twitter founder Jack Dorsey championed the Twitter competitor with a decentralized twist. It quickly amassed over 2 million users as people flocked to their new digital home — at the same time — it required an invite just to get in the door.
But that ended today after the company decided to drop its invite-only system and open the app to the masses.
If you’re unfamiliar with Bluesky, the app looks and feels quite similar to Twitter, but it stands out due to what’s under the hood.

ElevenLabs has been the go-to for voice for a while. Now they've turned that expertise into agents that actually get things done.

It's ready to deploy. Feels like one of those shifts where the interface quietly changes. Less typing, less clicking, more just saying what needs to happen and letting it play out.
