What is ludovision?

Ludovision is a browser-based tool that lets you scroll through every image and video being uploaded to Bluesky in real time. As people post media to the social platform, it appears instantly in an infinite feed, no login required, no server involved, and no tracking of any kind. The project's explicit purpose is to make a point about privacy: what we post online is public, permanent, and surprisingly easy to aggregate. It works by connecting directly to Bluesky's firehose, a live stream of all public activity on the platform, and filtering for images and videos. You see a scrollable wall of media that updates as new posts arrive. You can click any item to view it larger, jump to the poster's Bluesky profile, or (if you provide your own Bluesky login) browse that person's full media gallery. Videos play inline with standard controls. You can filter to see only images or only videos, adjust thumbnail sizes, and scroll endlessly. Everything runs locally in your browser, you just download the code and open an HTML file. The audience is anyone curious about the scale and visibility of social media data. A privacy researcher could use it to demonstrate how trivially public posts can be collected. A journalist might explore it to see what people are sharing in the moment. A founder or PM building social features could find it a sobering reminder that "public" means anyone can build a viewer like this in an afternoon. The project is explicitly a proof of concept, not a production tool. The README includes a content warning on launch and recommends running it in a private browsing window. It collects nothing, stores nothing, and talks only to Bluesky itself. The optional gallery feature does send your Bluesky credentials to their servers, and the README flags this clearly. Beyond that, the code is self-contained with no external dependencies, everything ships in the download.
