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!

FYI: If you have a custom @standard.site blog and want an easy subscribe button, you can use @sequoia.pub's subscribe page! Your subscription link should be sequoia[dot]pub/subscribe?publicationUri=<your-pub-at-uri>

Today's Heron release expands standard site support significantly. A lot of the ideas in Alex's post below already existed in Heron, and now you can subscribe to standard site publications directly from the timeline! Check out the video to see Heron's integration 😊

Today marks 20 YEARS since Animator vs. Animation by Alan Becker was posted to @newgrounds.com.

In some ways, atproto, bluesky, @semble.so, @sill.social, @standard.site and so on are building new indexes for the web. I really hope atproto succeeds and goes fully mainstream. Think of the amazing search engines that can be built on such rich index data. Maybe web3 can actually happen.

The standard site integration in bluesky is really, really well done. It compliments blog posts and other writing so well.

v1.122 is rolling out today, featuring a better way to discover and share articles, blog posts and newsletters across the Atmosphere via new, dynamic Standard.site link cards. 🧵

It's official, @standard.site & @leaflet.pub are integrated on Bluesky! Look how nice your posts look! This is great news for folks publishing on Leaflet! It's *also* just a starting point; Bluesky has more planned & we do too. Here's a lil thread on why we're excited about the potential here!

Hi! I shipped jetc.dev Newsletter Issue #315! Google I|O 2026! Compose Multiplatform 1.11.0! Android is Compose-first! And... an LLM-powered layout?!? jetc.dev/issues/315 #JetpackCompose #AndroidDev

The latest Heron update allows for quick switches between accounts and other miscellaneous improvements.

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

Coming Soon(tm)

Also, a special shout out to the teams at @leaflet.pub @pckt.blog and @offprint.app for their input on this, and their work — along with many others — in building the awesome community around Standard Site. We're excited to be a part of it!

✨ 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!

Congrats to @wordpress.org & @pfefferle.org for shipping the first 1.0.0 version of an Atmosphere plugin for WordPress. WordPress posts are published as microblog posts as well as @standard.site long form posts. Read all the other features in the blog post

Ty for featuring my article on state production with snapshot state 😊

If you're an Android developer building using Jetpack Compose for your you UI, consider using Compose State for your state production over StateFlow: www.tunjid.com/articles/emb...

Rocksky mobile just got a complete redesign. The old mobile UI was honestly pretty rough 😅 but the new experience is now live!

Adding Atmosphere app support to Heron like

It's finally here: check out our new default project structure for Kotlin Multiplatform! Releasing together with AGP 9 support in IntelliJ IDEA 2026.1.2. Happy Friday, everyone 😄

Stuff like this is so great to see. Makes me hopeful we form working groups for common lexicons so interoperability is the default.

@flashes.blue is now interoperable with @grain.social and @sprk.so displaying stories that were created in any of these apps.

I built push notification support for standard.site in Heron and I just got my first notification for one of my subscriptions. Feels good 😊

This is the best thing I've seen today: www.youtube.com/watch?v=bp4_...

David Attenborough is celebrating his 100th birthday on Friday. Here's a look at his extraordinary life and career.

Black Heron or Black-Egret (Egretta ardesiaca) engaging in canopy feeding…this is so the heron can see past the surface reflection to spot fish. #nature #birds #wildlife #biology

‘Dispute’, a quite impressive real picture captured by Polish photographer Jacek Stankiewicz, featuring two birds embroiled in what appears to be an animated argument. Original post

With the latest Heron update, I can prioritize my writing over other atproto records on my profile.

Do folks extend the /xrpc/app.bsky.actor.getPreferences lexicon for their third party apps? I'm thinking of doing so for heron bc preferences are private, rather than creating a new public lexicon collection for it.

Got an iPhone? Wanna give the Heron app a try? You can now! Heron is now in beta on TestFlight for iOS devices!

Fun fact, heron has a local database so I had no idea bluesky was down bc I had so many posts cached past where in was anchored on the TL 😌

Would it be weird to switch to Android just for Heron?

In under a week of indexing standard.site documents on the Heron AppView, I'm at about 1.5 million docs and most are from web.brid.gy accounts. I wonder how to handle these.

Part of building this was building Heron's very own AppView to hydrate documents with publications and subscriptions. heron.tunji.dev is well and truly in the atmosphere now :)

this is so painful to read, i love it github.com/stephenturne...

@standard.site hi hi! Would you say standard site is for largely writing, or can it encompass longform content in general, say maybe podcasts? I'm building an RSS importer, and realized a user feed could try to import podcasts. Would an import of one pollute the namespace?

found my bsky password for this. really silky smooth after 5 seconds of initial loading (jvm warmup?). somehow video playback works despite not using libvlcj, which i thought was impossible but im not a java person so i wouldnt know. this is so interesting and cool

Heron is now available for the Mac in alpha ☺️

One of the coolest features of the Agami Heron is its gorgeous, flowing crest that flutters as it poses and preens. But I've never seen it up close before with the details and textures. #CostaRica #herons #nature #birds

Finally had a sec to write about the conversation component we added to the @atproto.com blog.
