LycaClient v1.2 is Here

2026 Mar 15

Hey, the v.1.2 is here with all the updates. And I've added two new features.

After v.1.1, the v.1.2 was obviously a bit more effort-heavy, as adding the richText formatting was a bit of a headache, because Bsky uses UTF-16 for its formatting while the normal web uses UTF-8 so i had to come up with a good parser for it, bit still it was way easier than anything i had done before, i had also added the video support for posts and good for devs, i had also made the overall code a bit more readable than before.

I had done the transformation of UTF-8 format to UTF-16 through a parser which took most of the development time of the v.1.2. The video support was surprisingly easier as I only had to use the HLS.js library to import the feature and it was pretty good then. So overall the v.1.2 is looking 'professionally' good.
