At a high level, Algolia is a hosted search service that lets you easily create search indexes (think of it as a search optimized version of your content) while also providing easy libraries to add a search UI to your page itself. If you type in the search bar on top and perform a search, you'll see this yourself. My site here is static, all simple flat files with no database, so a solution like Algolia is vital. I thought I'd take a look at integrating Algolia's REST APIs with BoxLang and was able to build a quick demo in less than an hour.

To authenticate with Bluesky, use your username and password via environment variables, validating them before sending a POST request to the createSession endpoint.
