Leaflet's Atmospheric Advent Almanac, Day 21 where does genius end and pretension begin?, by @catabush.com Great writing on poetry: traditional vs free verse, the value of rhythm, memorization as a way to collect others' words and hold them in your head, poems as puzzles…and more!

Leaflet's Atmospheric Advent Almanac, Day 20 Why blog?, by @tessa.germnetwork.com Essaying on the age old question of why we write; why we blog — and: why blog on *open social*? Exploring the dynamics of personal publishing and control, and most importantly, getting the ideas out!

This is so good @leaflet.pub Idea for 2026: make this a permanent in an Editors Choice / featured feed… “Gold Leaf” 🍁

Leaflet: now with profile pages! Here's a bit more about how they work. Excited to have a way to see everything a given person is writing, reading, and talking about on Leaflet! Questions? Suggestions? Let us know how we can make profiles even better!

Leaflet's Atmospheric Advent Almanac, Day 19 LAUNCH [4] — profile pages! You've now got a profile page on Leaflet! 👤✨ See your pubs, posts, comments & subscriptions at `leaflet.pub/p/YOUR_HANDLE` From a pub, post byline, mention, or comment — hover for preview card; click for full profile :)

re: tags in Leaflet— Leaflet tags are experimental & we'd love to see them used as lightweight infra for coordinating activity! Writing prompt, book club, meetup reflections, getting friends to do genuary.art together, whatever :) Have an idea? Share it + we'll help spread the word!

Leaflet's Atmospheric Advent Almanac, Day 19 release radar '25, by @zjsm.zip Really good roundup of favorite music releases this year! Nicely curated, with playable embeds and commentary, lots of bangers, makes for a great playlist! *plus*—release radar pt 2 here!: zjsm.leaflet.pub/3m5lhme7zys25

Oh *sick*. Clicking on a post in a leaflet opens the whole thread. This is seriously cool

Leaflet's Atmospheric Advent Almanac, Day 18 A Quick Look at macOS, by @shreyanjain.net A critique of macOS Tahoe that's actually much more, delving into hardware and interfaces and metaphors for apps and documents, OS philosophy + design history!

A few ways ppl are using Leaflet post tags so far :) atproto: leaflet.pub/tag/atproto music: leaflet.pub/tag/music politics: leaflet.pub/tag/politics short story: leaflet.pub/tag/short%20... trains: leaflet.pub/tag/trains webnovel: leaflet.pub/tag/webnovel baseball: leaflet.pub/tag/baseball

New: a *trail* on @danabra.mov's sidetrail — a mini-guide to getting started with Leaflet & social publishing! Try: making a doc (and a canvas) …publishing to a blog (or a looseleaf) …interactions like subscribing & commenting… wdyt? anything to add or clarify?

Welcome to the ATmosphere. It’s an ecosystem of independent apps including @bsky.app, @leaflet.pub, and @anisota.net. You sign in to all of them using your @ handle which is tied to your ATmosphere account. The apps and companies don’t control your data, identity, or username anymore… you do.

DEMO — Leaflet's new Bluesky thread viewer in action! ✨ Here's what it looks like to browse Bluesky post embeds; this *also* works to view replies to any quotes / mentions on Bluesky, from the sidebar. Let us know what you think!

Leaflet's Atmospheric Advent Almanac, Day 18 LAUNCH [3] — Bluesky thread viewer You can now browse Bluesky threads right in Leaflet, both post embeds and quotes/mentions! Nice for more seamlessly bringing in social context…try it with some examples in this very post! cc/ @erlend.sh :)

Good discussion re: how comments work on Leaflet — should we have a better way to consolidate conversation from Bluesky? What else is on your comments/discussion wish list? We know comments could use some love & we'd appreciate hearing from other Leaflet writers on what you'd find helpful!

Wow we're over halfway through atmospheric advent! Follow this thread to catch up — lots of good things to explore, and a couple fun features launched already!

Leaflet's Atmospheric Advent Almanac, Day 16 Any Kind of Shortbread Sandwich Cookies, by @cozylittle.house Not just a recipe…a meta-recipe! Celine's guide to DIY recipe variations, published as a *looseleaf* with nice photos and subpages — research, invent, bake, repeat!

Idea for Semble x Leaflet: - make a Semble collection of your favorite things from this year - make a Leaflet post (doc or canvas) and add those links + some extra commentary or reflection! Hopefully soon we can even make it possible to link to Semble collections & cards directly :)

Great point about the breadth of the emergent atmosphere, even in its early days! The list is already growing to the extent it doesn't all fit in our quote preview img here :)

Leaflet's Atmospheric Advent Almanac, Day 15 nasin toki, by @stau.space Notes on toki pona *nasin*, or personal approach / method, to orthography, readability, and more, for this very interesting constructed language!

Leaflet's Atmospheric Advent Almanac, Day 14 Introduction to Kintsugi, by @grahame.fyi On kintsugi, learning a traditional practice to repair a favorite bowl, with nice photo documentation!

Our first iteration of notifications! What else would make sense? E.g. getting notified if someone Semble’s one of your bsky posts or @leaflet.pub pubs? @ mentions in a card note? Semble page alerts?

Leaflet's Atmospheric Advent Almanac, Day 13 Everything is a graph, by @bpavuk.neocities.org Nice intro to thinking in graphs & appreciation of their varied applications: social media, relationships, search & more!

Leaflet's Atmospheric Advent Almanac, Day 12 LAUNCH [2] — Leaflet post tags! Tis the season to play with tags in Leaflet! Starting with a simple experiment: global tags as coordination mechanism. Explore tags like music, links, atproto, ttrpg, art — & try some community suggested tag experiments!

Leaflet's Atmospheric Advent Almanac, Day 12 a decentralized approach to webrings, by @yoyle.city Fun sketch of an idea for decentralized webrings…which could be very cool to explore with Leaflet / @wisp.place / other atproto data!

Leaflet's Atmospheric Advent Almanac, Day 11 No Chickens Allowed, by @tomvanantwerp.com Examining the legality of backyard chickens in Alexandria, VA…interesting question of local ordinance & investigatory process!

Lab Note on our new *mentions* feature! We'd love to hear if folks are finding this useful so far — and ideas for other things that should be mentionable. For example @tangled.org repos and @cosmik.network Semble collections could be very cool to support!

Leaflet's Atmospheric Advent Almanac, Day 10 TANK LOG [ 1 ], by @tigerlily.cafe Documenting setups — plants, life, equipment, misc — for two tanks! SEE ALSO: @catabush.com's terrific tank logs! --> cafe.catabush.com/3m3bq2l6rjs2h cafe.catabush.com/3m5u3yezhuc2f

Leaflet's Atmospheric Advent Almanac, Day 9 Artistically Complex Software, by @3fz.org An appreciation for Apple's "Cover Flow" interface for browsing music collections, and the way it prioritizes aesthetics!

Trying out something new with my @leaflet.pub post: quote-skeeting it myself, to share some highlights! It's been a hell of a year with you all, and I learned more than you can imagine. Here's some of it. Shoutout @markmx.bsky.social, forever rhosf.leaflet.pub/3m7kwii6nws2...

New lab note on Looseleafs — standalone Leaflets on atproto, with all our social features, no publication needed! Try from leaflet.pub/home — make a doc or canvas! Share a "wrapped"-style collection, a manifesto, a project homepage, a photo scrapbook, a poetry zine…excited to see what you make!

Today, we're opening up Seams Alpha (seams.so), a social web annotation built in the Atmosphere. We're hoping it helps with collective sense-making. This is just the start, there's still lots to do! We'd love if you tried it with us.

Leaflet's Atmospheric Advent Almanac, Day 8 Hyperproblems: New Ways of Doing and Communicating Science, by @ranganaut.bsky.social Defining *hyperproblems*, with examples & ideas for "common source" as model for "new architectures of collective intelligence"…and yes, could be great as a collab pub!

Congrats to The Daily Planet on their 100th daily post! They actually hit > 100 posts a while back b/c — get this —there are *Weekly Planets* as well :) 🌎🌍🌏✨ Lots to learn from here, including some nice multi-part series with increasingly ambitious arcs…go explore & subscribe!

Anyone have ideas here? What would be your most *essential steps* to getting started with Leaflet? Thinking maybe quick intro, editor basics (blocks, doc/canvas), atproto publishing & publications vs looseleafs, fun examples, explain social features like comments & subscribing…

We recently streamlined some things along w/ Looseleafs, incl more consistent doc/draft management e.g. delete + archive. One thing that got lost in the shuffle: *templates*. Not used a *ton* but v useful in some cases! Should we bring it back? Maybe in different form like a "duplicate" button?

Leaflet's Atmospheric Advent Almanac, Day 7 Studying the Text of 1 Corinthians 10:23-11:1, by @joelwerner.me Close reading and biblical exegesis, with context, summary, notes and references, even a Semble collection…cool to see working in public on sermon prep!

Back in October, I wrote a long essay about how rad @leaflet.pub is and how it points to the future of blogging built on decentralized and billionaire proof tech, and I included a wish list of features at the end. And I'm thrilled the Leaflet team is cranking through them.

Leaflet's Atmospheric Advent Almanac, Day 6 Ideas I Want to Work On (Eventually), by @hyuge.bsky.social Nice big ol' meta fic ideas list, a couple dozen across lots of different categories…love this kind of speculative catalog!

This was a real fun one to implement. I am a particular fan of the tab to narrow scope interaction, feels like there's a lot we can do with that. Search tangled repos and tab in to mention specific files? Search a users bsky posts to embed them?

also here's the leaflet version sharpmars.leaflet.pub/3m7b7jld5lsfc

here's the blog post about me using @leaflet.pub with my existing markdown blog sharpmars.nekoweb.org/blog/hooking...

Leaflet is quickly becoming one of the best and most useful applications for creating/sharing networked content. Tag your friends! Reference past articles! Link to outside ATmosphere content!
