SecretSkies

Is there a Bluesky edit button?

Not a universal one. Bluesky proper does not currently give users an edit button that changes what everyone sees. SecretSkies is the closest thing available today because compatible ATProto apps and forked communities can show the edited version.

?The honest answer for anyone searching for a Bluesky edit button.

Edit button search

This is the realistic answer.

SecretSkies is for the gap between what Bsky proper shows and what compatible ATProto communities can choose to show.

  • No official universal Bluesky edit button.
  • Original remains visible on Bsky proper.
  • Edited version can appear in compatible community views.
  • Useful for third-party apps and forked communities.

Key takeaway

SecretSkies is the closest practical Bluesky edit button right now. It is not universal. It works only where a compatible third-party ATProto app, forked community, or community client chooses to show the updated version.

Why Bluesky editing is tricky

A normal edit button would change the post for everyone. That is not what Bluesky proper supports today. Bsky proper keeps showing the original version. SecretSkies works below that surface by updating the ATProto record that some other views can read.

The best way to explain it

  1. You create a post.
  2. Bsky proper shows the original.
  3. SecretSkies lets you create an edited version.
  4. Compatible community views may show that edited version instead.

What to do next

If you want a universal edit button, this will feel limited. If you want an edit button for a compatible community or third-party ATProto app, this is exactly the space SecretSkies is built for.
