Show HN: Skyname – the first Bluesky username registrar (opens in new tab)

I'm not hijacking the back button :~( just a simple Next.js app.

Bluesky doesn't have an OAuth2 API right now, so as a temporary way of authenticating with your Bluesky account you can create an "App Password" in settings with a name that can be revoked at any time. This is not the same as your account password. Hopefully the field placeholder makes this clear, but I'll probably reject any auth that uses the accounts main password going forward.

Thank you for trying it out though!

Skyname lets you register a username like example.tired.io (or another domain such as .bsky.cool) and switch your Bluesky username to it automatically. Will try and improve on communication here, I get "username registrar" is kind of hard to understand at first glance but after learning more I think it's a good description. It requires very specific user interaction to first select a new username and then register it and change your account, so logging in (make sure you generate a new App Password in settings) won't do any writes to your account automatically.
