Dec 1, 2024December 2024 — ZeitOnline/vivi: Delivered two core features to stabilize Bluesky embeds and speed up content edits. The Bluesky embed path now resolves account names in Bluesky post URLs and is more robust when data may be None, thanks to a new _resolve_bsky_url helper and enhanced URL parsing and error handling. A CMS-configurable timeout for Bluesky API calls was introduced, with a default of 5 seconds and a shortened timeout during editing flows (1 second) to accelerate article content edits. These changes reduce broken embeds, improve editor responsiveness, and simplify maintenance of the embedding workflow across deployments.
