Drafts Feature Rollout

Social network Bluesky is finally rolling out one of users’ most‑requested features: drafts. Bluesky’s competitors, X and Threads, have long supported the ability to write drafts, which is now considered a baseline feature for services like this.

Users can access drafts on Bluesky the same way they do on these other platforms: by opening the new post flow and selecting the Drafts button in the top‑right corner.

Roadmap and Future Plans

The rollout of drafts comes as Bluesky recently teased its roadmap for the year ahead. The company said it plans to focus on:

• Improving the app’s algorithmic Discover feed
• Offering better recommendations on who to follow
• Making the app feel more real‑time

At the same time, Bluesky acknowledged that it still needs to get the basics right.

Current Limitations

Although Bluesky has gained a loyal user base, it still lags behind rivals in basic features such as:

• Private accounts
• Support for longer videos

User Base

Launched to the public in early 2024, Bluesky has since scaled to over 42 million users according to data sourced directly from the Bluesky API for developers.
