I’m excited to announce hexo-bluesky-feed — an open source Hexo plugin that can publish your latest blog post to Bluesky whenever you generate your Hexo site with the --bluesky flag.
With hexo-bluesky-feed, if you run hexo generate --bluesky, the plugin will:
- Obtain a fresh access token: It uses your Bluesky handle and an app password (set via environment variables) to securely fetch a new access token and your DID.
- Select your latest post: The plugin sorts your posts by their publication date, ensuring the most recent post is used.
- Construct a dynamic update message: It builds a message using a customizable template and attaches a clickable link to your post.
- Post directly to Bluesky: The update is sent using Bluesky’s API so that your social feed stays up-to-date automatically.
Note: If you run
hexo generatewithout the--blueskyflag, the plugin will skip posting.
