Big highlighting and performance improvements in @skyreader.app this week. Also shipped @margin.at integration so with one tap you can save your highlights to margin.

is it spiders

I think for the open social web, especially the Atmosphere, separating creation and consumption apps that interop are a really good thing. No app has to be a jack of all trades. Blogging apps can focus on writing and distribution tools, reading apps can focus on aggregation and read later etc. 1/

New: special subscribe route for *any* @standard.site publication…useful as an embeddable form! leaflet-hosted: `pub_domain/subscribe` e.g. lab.leaflet.pub/subscribe any: `leaflet.pub/subscribe/[did]/[rkey]` e.g. @wil.to's blog: leaflet.pub/subscribe/did:plc:mlmtsmr3fcbhffjoydyg3663/223nhvhpe22k2

communities are coming to Bluesky this year. today, Bluesky is one big space. communities will be smaller spaces inside that where you can go deeper and hang out with people who care about the same stuff.

This generated some discussion so I want to expand on it a bit The context is that standard.site doesn't currently have any lexicons for the actual content. The idea is that the document content is covered by leaflet, offprint, pckt, or other lexicons. But...

Today, we are launching the Semble API 🥳 🚀 Here's how to use it 👇️

Introducing Standard Reader: a calm, text-first home for long-form writing on the Atmosphere. Read standard.site publications, follow the writers you love, and find new voices across the network. standard-reader.app

Blento by @flo-bit.dev lets you build a bento-style personal website with Svelte & Tailwind, using your Bluesky PDS to host your content ✨ - madewithsvelte.com/blento

@bmann.ca suggests that a Skyreader linkblog should actually point to the link so now it does! thanks for calling that out, the other suggestions (@ mentions, custom domains, deeper @semble.so integration) are on the roadmap but will take a bit longer :)

Big improvements to @skyreader.app making it more social! Articles you share are now published as a @standard.site linkblog. Follow Skyreader linkblogs in any @standard.site reader (or traditional RSS reader!) Finding your people in Skyreader is also now much improved. Let me know what you think!

ive been working on notifications for atmo.rsvp and landed on something more general that lets any atmosphere app send users notifications docs.atmo.pub still wip, but looking for feedback from all them atmosphere developers example sender app: example.atmo.pub sauce: github.com/flo-bit/atpr...

some thoughts on how we model communities on top of the permissioned data protocol this is less a proposal and mainly I have a couple questions at the end that i'm genuinely trying to figure out rn. give it a read and let me know your thoughts!

Every Sifa profile is now an RSS / Atom feed. 📡 @bsky.app, @tangled.org, @standard.site, @smokesignal.events, and more, all in one single stream you can subscribe to from any reader.

I love reading blogs and living in the terminal like some sicko - so I made Standard-Reader to fulfill both desires at the same time! It’s a TUI-based application to read all your favorite @standard.site blogs from publications like @pckt.blog , @offprint.app , @leaflet.pub, and @greengale.app!

new blog post: how standard.horse works. wherein I accidentally talk way too much about RSS and forget what I originally set out to say

New project! I recently needed feedback on a doc I was writing and didn't have a good place to post it. So I built requested.fyi. Post docs, get comments, all on the Atmosphere. www.disnetdev.com/blog/rfcs-on...

okay, introducing standard.horse! an editor for simple @standard.site publications if you've hand-rolled your standard.site blog, this provides a simple markdown editor and publication management interface

hey friends. I'm populating this Semble list of atmospheric personal websites. Would love to see your favorites! Bonus points if you connect a link to their source code ;)

YOU’RE LISTENING TO SISYPHUS FM, THE HOME OF NON-STOP ROCK

Is that butter? No it's ghee. Oh thanks for clarifying

✨ Atmosphere devs ✨ Bluesky is integrating Standard Site, and our initial work should be released in the next few days. Here's what that means for publishers and apps in the ecosystem: github.com/bluesky-soci... If you have questions or comments, please leave them on the GitHub Discussion thread!

Explain to me why airplane wifi is slower despite being closer to the cloud

Wrote about why the AT Protocol is the ultimate API for you and your agents! davidgasquez.com/atproto-agents We need more people building on the atmosphere!

One vision of an atmospheric web is the fun of the golden age of Tumblr minus the centralized platform. Each of these post types roughly maps to an existing atproto app (@standard.site, @semble.so, @kipclip.com, @stream.place, @grain.social) your personal site would aggregate them all.

The post by mitchellh gave me the final push to finish my GitHub "obituary". I originally started writing it after the Zig to Codeberg move. It's just a retelling of how I remember OpenSource pre GitHub and what it gave us. lucumr.pocoo.org/2026/4/28/be...

After publishing this I realized I also wanted a photos section so I just hooked up my @photos.disnetdev.com feed and now I have a photo blog too. Took all of five minutes lol

My website is now on the Atmosphere! I've been building atproto apps for a while (@skyreader.app, Skyboard, SembleIt). Now my website is one too. Blog posts are @standard.site records on my PDS, rendered by a SvelteKit app. But also... 1/2 www.disnetdev.com/blog/an-atmo...

Just shipped support for @skyreader.app feed subscription lexicon. As an user of @skyreader.app you can log in on Glean and feel right at home. Atproto is great! bsky.app/profile/mat....

RSS + atproto gang rise up!

Today is the official launch of lichen.wiki in the @atmosphere.community !! It’s an open source collaborative website built on @atproto.com, the decentralized protocol behind Bluesky You can create wikis, add markdown notes, and link them together with internal links!

VERY COOL PERSON: It's four-twenty, you know what that means? ME: Hell yeah! [starts shoving blackbirds into a pie]

@sifa.id is very neat, got my profile all set up. Now if everyone could just migrate off LinkedIn so I never have to look at it again that would be great... sifa.id/p/disnetdev....

⭐ New talk! Watch / read / visually skim here: andymatuschak.org/tat Coding agents might help us finally break out of two cages: the app model, which traps computing in one-size-fits-all silos; and programming as a specialization, which has crowded out cultures of imagination and domain insight.

New release of @skyreader.app is now live with support for Channels that let you set up filtered views of your feeds and saved articles. Helps you catch up on quick reads or check in on sites that infrequently post. (apparently I have 104 long reads, rip my reading list)

My favorite app on the Atmosphere is @semble.so but it doesn't work exactly like I want all the time so I made a client that does less on purpose. Check it out: sembleit.dev www.disnetdev.com/blog/2026-04...

It's an account for Atmosphere apps. It's not a "handle" for the whole "internet". It's not a "Bluesky" account, a lot of us don't host our account there, and hopefully less will over time. Atmosphere came from the community, we build as a community. Don't overcomplicate it. Atmosphere Account.

Annoucing Semble Connections: A new way to organize, curate and discover content in the open social web 💥

March updates! @atproto.science and AtmosphereConf, @ronentk.me joined the BiTS accelerator, new Semble features like faceted following and faster card saving, plus exciting community contributions and cross-app integrations with @chive.pub and @skyreader.app Happy Spring 🌻

I also cannot ship my work today because it’s too powerful to release publicly
