Is it legit? Does it work? How does it compare to other clients?

I had been using Openvibe for a while and switched for Flare a month or so ago? I'm not a heavy user, but I like it better than Openvibe. No issues.

Didn't know about it. Using OpenVibe now, which is generally happy with, but I might try flare.

EDIT: Okay, I've set it up and browsed around a bit now.

Everything takes up too much space, in my opinion. I have to scroll much more per post in the feed, compared to OpenVibe. Also, posts in the feed have a margin in the sides, but there's an extra margin outside that as well for some reason, which means only ~85% of my screen width is really being used for post content, which is a waste of space.
Parent posts (that a person I'm following has replied to) come before the reply, in the feed, which trips me up when I'm used to them being nested like they were on Twitter. Just a personal preference, though.
I can't find the "For You" Bluesky feed anywhere either.

For what it's worth, I just updated today and there's a "Plain" post style now that goes toward making the padding issue better.

Thank you for letting me know!

EDIT: Tried it now, and it's a nice improvement in my opinion.
