Hey that's my screenshot! :)

Rudy Fraser and the Blacksky team also have a custom frontend (https://blacksky.community/) with some cool stuff like a sign-up feature with a custom domain picker, but it's still using the Bsky API under the hood. Which is fine, can't be overstated how hard it must be to reimplement the entire API.

I want to sign in to every alternative AppView, but I'm starting to get a little concern that one of these will try to phish my credentials

You can (and should) log in with app passwords instead of your actual password for sure. You can revoke them in your settings if anything goes wrong. As for Zeppelin, I can only say that its creator Futur has good standing in the community, but I understand if people are still wary.

They shouldn't be able to, but not sure indeed
