Introduction
They said Bluesky would never have an edit button. We simply disagreed. 🦋✏️
skeeditor is a cross-browser extension that adds the ✏️ Edit button to your posts on bsky.app that you've been waiting for since the day you joined. Click it, fix whatever needs fixing, save — and the post is updated via the official AT Protocol API without you ever leaving the page. No more deleting and reposting. No more screenshots of your own typos in the replies. Just edit.
🔧 How it works
Bluesky posts are stored as records in the AT Protocol repository. skeeditor authenticates with your Bluesky account using OAuth 2.0 + PKCE, fetches the current record from the PDS (Personal Data Server), opens a slick in-page editor pre-filled with your original text, then writes the updated record back when you save.
Rich-text facets (links, mentions, hashtags) are re-detected from the edited text and recalculated at the correct UTF-8 byte offsets before the record is written, so formatting is preserved correctly. Your post comes out the other side looking like it was always meant to be that way. 💅

🚀 Current status
skeeditor is an early-access project — but the important bits work. The core edit flow (sign in → edit → save) is complete and tested. Check the GitHub releases page for the latest published version.
🚫 What skeeditor does not do
Let's set expectations (for now):
- It prevents edits that would exceed Bluesky's 300-grapheme limit, showing an error if your edit is too long.
- It does not yet support editing embedded images or videos (text-only edits for now — we're working on rich media editing 🫡).
- It does not edit posts on behalf of other accounts. Your typos are your own.
- It supports
bsky.socialand custom PDS instances, and transmits no data except for authentication and record operations. Your data stays between you and your PDS.
