About realtime.blue

realtime.blue is a web tool for watching a Bluesky profile in real time. You enter a profile URL or handle and it displays follower, following and post counts, refreshing automatically every 10 seconds, 1 minute or 5 minutes. A confetti effect marks milestones, such as follower counts divisible by 10.

It can generate screenshots of a profile's counts for sharing, expose the raw JSON data pulled from the Bluesky API, and feature profiles on the home page. The site lists related projects such as a year progress tracker, a starter packs page and a directory, and it carries sponsorship placements.
