BlueArk Global

18 Oct 2024

With BlueArk, you can migrate your tweets from X/Twitter to Bluesky quickly, securely and with the original date of each post. We preserve your stories, your media and your most relevant content on a new platform, without losing anything along the way. 🪽 blueark.app/en-us/

[IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT] [1/17] Hey folks! I’m back, back again with… another announcement! Almost one year later, it’s time to say goodbye to BlueArk. I, Amós, write here in the first person, because I want this to be a sincere letter, open-hearted, to everyone who walked this journey with us. +

[16/17] Again, thank you. Truly, thank you. To everyone who trusted, shared, interacted, criticized, supported. Thank you for the patience and for the affection. There are no WORDS that can explain our gratitude. +

[17/17] This project now comes to an end. But we move on with the certainty that every second was worth it. It was beautiful. It was unique. It was ours. With love, Amós (and also Nicolas and Dálet). 💙

[14/17] And one request: support the free tools, the independent devs, the projects that keep Bluesky alive. Donate, pay, value them. They need it to continue. That’s how we build freer and more transparent spaces. +

[15/17] BlueArk changed my career choices, my way of thinking about the future, my view on communication. It changed the path of the three of us. And if it changed your life even just a little bit, then it was already worth it all. +

[12/17] That’s why we decided to officially shut down the service. The website will go offline. It wasn’t an easy decision, but it was the most honest one. And I want you to know: there’s no regret. On the contrary. Only pride and gratitude for what we lived. +

[13/17] If you still have an operation in progress, write to: blueark@blueark.web. Since the last announcement, we’ve been finalizing everything possible. What we cannot deliver will be refunded. +

[10/17] We know we contributed to the migration from X to Bluesky. Not alone, of course. But we were part of it. And being part of that historic moment, seeing the community grow and knowing we helped, is something I’ll carry forever. +

[11/17] But life moved on. Revenue fell, free tools appeared, and we couldn’t launch a new product before needing to return to the job market. BlueArk was no longer sustainable for the three of us. +

[8/17] We didn’t get rich, far from it. But we were happy. We laughed a lot, felt proud, made mistakes, got things right, grew. BlueArk was both a lab and a shortcut. It was learning, it was challenge, it was the courage to leave the “certain” for the “uncertain.” +

[9/17] And the most important thing: BlueArk wasn’t just about us. It was about the people who believed, trusted, paid, recommended. Everyone who had patience with bugs, every client who insisted on valuing our work, every interaction. You were the reason for it all. +

[6/17] Roxo Solto, our agency, also grew through this. We were able to upgrade equipment, buy new phones, and attract clients who came precisely because we could dedicate ourselves in that period. All of this was sustained by what we built here. +

[7/17] These details may seem small, but they were huge in our lives. BlueArk paid for courses, opened doors, bought us time. It allowed us to dream about new career paths that might have taken years to appear. +

[4/17] The most beautiful thing is that BlueArk didn’t change our lives because it made us rich, but because it gave us tools. Literally. Nicolas left behind an 8-year-old PC that overheated and shut down. I, a publicist and artist, replaced my limited PC with one that runs anything smoothly. +

[5/17] Dálet, who’s also my partner in another business, could dedicate herself to it a while longer and finally dive into audiovisual, discovering a new passion. I finally managed to release my first song and also do theater. Small things only possible because BlueArk existed. +

[2/17] BlueArk was born from a conversation between me and Nicolas, in the middle of the chaos when X was blocked in Brazil. He took vacation from his job and spent 14h a day coding. Dálet joined later in support, and suddenly we were at the center of a global conversation we never planned. +

[3/17] We left our formal jobs and threw ourselves completely into this. I woke up and went to sleep thinking about how to reply to SO MANY skeets, DMs, requests, bugs, operations. At its peak it was exhausting, but it made sense. We deeply believed in what we were building. +

🚨 Important update about our downtime [1/5] The unofficial APIs we used for crawling (the method that allowed us to fetch your tweets directly from X/Twitter) have stopped working. Twitter has made several changes to block external API usage.

[4/5] What we do know for sure: ✅ The “via archive” method (the classic Twitter Archive) is temporarily under maintenance due to this same integration issue. But it will be back up next week! 🗂️

30 June 2025

[5/5] As for the API method, we can’t promise a comeback yet. The decision depends on technical feasibility, costs, and user demand. We love what we’ve built - but rewriting everything with so little usage might be unworkable. We’re evaluating carefully and transparently. 💙

[2/5] That means our import system via API (which automatically accessed your public tweets) is currently 100% offline. 😕 The APIs we relied on have changed everything: structure, access, cost… and are now basically unusable.

30 June 2025

[3/5] Rebuilding our codebase for this new API reality would be a massive task. We're assessing if it's even viable - it would take weeks of work, for a service that now processes just 1 or 2 sales a day.

Hi guys! We are partially offline, we will let you know when we return to normal

BlueArk@blueark.app

Hey Per! We have been partially offline since yesterday. We noticed an error in the processing of files that are being attached to the operation page, which is why there was an error in your case. We will keep you informed through our profile as our developer resolves everything.

⚠️ [IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT] ⚠️ [1/14] We want to start by saying thank you. Truly. These past few months have been intense, beautiful, and transformative for the three of us – Amós, Nicolas, and Dálet. BlueArk was one of the most meaningful experiences of our lives. And you were part of it. +

[13/14] BlueArk won’t be our main job anymore. We ask for a bit more patience if replies take longer. But we’ll keep showing up. We’re still here, even if it’s a quieter phase. And if something new comes, we’ll be back. +

[14/14] For now, just thank you. Truly. This changed our lives and careers. For everyone who trusted, hired, shared, interacted – it was beyond special to build this new blue sky with you. With love, Amós, Nicolas, and Dálet. 💙

[11/14] It simply became too expensive to maintain with current sales volume. From now on, support will be through email (blueark@blueark.app) or via DMs and mentions on Bluesky. We honestly don’t know if or when a new product will come. +

[12/14] We had lots of ideas, but many were already built by amazing folks in the community. And that’s not a bad thing – it makes us proud. We helped start something. +

[9/14] So here we are, letting you know: BlueArk is entering a new phase – service maintenance only. The platform will remain online and the service will still work, but we’re no longer an “active” company. +

[10/14] Starting next month, we’ll probably be paying out of pocket to keep it live. Our savings from busier months help for now, but we’re cutting costs and reorganizing. That includes shutting down the site’s chat support. +

[7/14] We expected this would happen eventually. We just thought we’d have more time to build something new. Unfortunately, it came faster than we expected. Today, we can’t even cover our fixed costs. +

[8/14] We tried to build new things, but we couldn’t launch them fast enough. We’re a tiny team. One dev, two people handling support and communication, trying to do it all – while studying and living life. +

[5/14] BlueArk was always a 100% independent project. No external funding, no infrastructure ready. It started as a “side project.” Built with what we had: our skills, our drive, and a lot of work. During peak months, we quit our jobs to work full time. +

[6/14] Every support message, every fix – all handled by us. And we’re very proud of what we delivered. But things changed. Other tools appeared, even free ones. The number of new Bluesky users dropped. So did the demand. +

[3/14] Initially, it was meant for personal use. But we realized more people could benefit from it. And that maybe we could make a little extra income from it too (if you live in Brazil, you know how much we NEED that). When things blew up, Amós and Nicolas couldn’t handle it alone. +

[4/14] That’s when Dálet, already Amós’ partner in another business, joined to help with support. We went viral, became a reference, gave interviews – it was surreal! Way beyond what we imagined. But fast growth brings challenges. +

[2/14] For those who joined later and don’t know the story: the idea started with Amós, in the middle of the chaos of X being blocked in Brazil. Our dev Nicolas took a month off from his full-time job to spend 14 hours a day developing it. +

Finally, a feature that connects creators and audiences in real time ⏺️ 🎥

Bluesky@bsky.app

We’re testing a new feature! Starting this week, select accounts can add a livestream link to sites like YouTube or Twitch, and their Bluesky profile will show they’re live now.
