Hey if y'all wanna tell devs directly too what you might want in an actual blogging site this would be the time

Does anyone have any ideas for like hashtags/feeds/communities we could share this too? Really would love to get folks documenting the various scenes across bluesky!

I am lurking in the thriving bird watching community on here please someone gather the best birds of the week! One in the leaf is worth two in the sky fr!!! #birds

New publishing challenge — seeking Atmosphere Field Reporters! Write a weekly report on a particular corner of the Atmosphere & we'll hook you up with free Leaflet Pro ✨📝🧭 🌀 indie comics? 🌀 scientific subfield? 🌀 local community? 🌀 niche news beat? 🌀 we want to read about it! Details here!

👀 who's gonna be our 5,000th follower???

This is great! Need a special badge or something for ppl who publish on Leaflet AND pckt AND Offprint, or any combo of atmospheric publishing platforms + personal site (they already have a special place in our hearts)

New: option for first / last buttons in post footer We already had a way to show prev / next links; now we have first / last too! Turn on from pub Settings --> Post Layout --> "Show First/Last Buttons on Post" Great for webcomics, or anything with lots of posts where reading in order matters!

Summer Pass = 25% off first year of Leaflet Pro! What exactly does it get you? $0: theming, custom domains, custom nav & pages, social sharing & more Leaflet Pro: email newsletters (1k subs incl), analytics (growth, referrers etc) & group publications (invite contributors!) ☀️🌞📝 leaflet.pub/about

🚨attn artists, perverts, nerds, and weirdos🚨 I'm doing a talk for devs at the Atprotocol (same technology that Bluesky is built on!) NYC meetup about UX building for niche communities. WANT TO HEAR FROM MY RPers, TTRPG FREAKS, BJD COLLECTORS, MODDERS, VOCALSYNTH PPL, ECT what are things you wish

Publications should be cheap; it's easy to make *many* different publications in Leaflet, large & small! When should you make a new pub? 📔📰📓 One project / org with several related areas: prob best as one Pop-up newsletters, limited-run series, distinct projects: give each their own pub!

Are you a company / org that's active on Bluesky & cares about the open social web? You should run your blog / newsletter on Leaflet! Publish on a site you own, where your audience can subscribe with Bluesky *or* email, easily share quotes, recommend posts & more ✨ Reach out with any questions!

🌞 Standard.site Summer Pass ⛱️ Your writing deserves a place of its own on the open social web. Get started for free with @pckt.blog, @leaflet.pub, or @offprint.app. And if you’re ready for more, annual plans are 25% off all summer long thanks to @bsky.app. See you in the Atmosphere!

New option: add a *wordmark* for your homepage header! Another fun one for the "Customize" page, where you can edit your nav, pages, and theme :) See it in action — here are a couple cool examples from @aaronrosspowell.com and @torrent-empress.bsky.social!

Probably worth sharing this again — we're building the open, non-enshittified Substack on atproto & getting *really close* just need to get paid memberships in! We need your help — who do you know who's on Substack, but is *also* active here & might like to publish somewhere more…atmospheric??

Next hour — Ask Us Anything about Leaflet Pro! A few true things: - there are many ppl out there who value good tools for publishing - we're still so early; most of the internet doesn't know about us - we need to get better about talking $ — how we add value; how people can support So…let's talk!

Get your Leaflet SUMMER PASS! ☀️ leaflet.pub/about Level up your publishing — great way to get some extra pro features *and* support the indie publishing ecosystem :) Know anyone who needs an easy way to make a blog / website? Please help spread the word 😍🙏 We can't wait to see what you publish!

Make a leaflet, make one today Your pub can be many things! Like, say… A fun lil blog A cool product log A journal of fog A dog catalog! For rants about pants That reward second glance Or poems on toast For folks to repost A simple page; a whole website A place to publish day and night!

These three platforms are basically Substack competitors, but open (you keep control of your data) and without a tolerance for literal Nazis. Worth checking out in my opinion – personally, I use @leaflet.pub.

Another cool comic on Leaflet, making nice use of our new nav & top-level pages!

Leaflet is great for artists! Lots of improvements lately :) ✅ Top-level pages — make 'About' pages & more ✅ Nav with external links — link to a store, gallery, etc. ✅ Prev/next buttons — first/last too! ✅ Email newsletters — with Leaflet Pro ⚠️ Image galleries & lightboxing — working on it!

I love how the promo images for @leaflet.pub, @pckt.blog, and @offprint.app so perfectly capture the vibe of each one

It's the summer of blogging, & now, time for the @standard.site Summer Pass! We teamed up with @bsky.app to give you 25% off your first year of Leaflet Pro! Most of Leaflet's free. Leaflet Pro gets you analytics, email newsletters & group publications. Get your Summer Pass today! ☀️🌞📝

aavia-comic.leaflet.pub OKAY Y'ALL HERE IT IS IF YOU WANNA LOOK it's got: -rss -sub from bsky -first/last next/prev -comments -alt text -Lets you make pages -already syncs to Bluesky (and if you switch to blacksky, northsky, ect you keep all your data) -color customization NO CODE, NO BS

Another great use of our new pages & nav features to make not only a photo blog, but a whole photography *website* in Leaflet!

Hey how was everyone's weekend?! Just checking in… If you have a dad, did you remember to tell your dad to make a blog? If you are a dad: happy father's day!!! did you remember to blog???

⭐️ awesome explainer from our pals over at @leaflet.pub about what @standard.site is and why it plays an important part for our publishing process and your posts ! :) Standard.site brings communities together and helps distribute your writing across the atmosphere 💫

Great example of Leaflet used to make a nice simple podcast website!

We wrote a @standard.site explainer — what it is & why it's useful 📝✨ ~shared standards for longform publishing? ~a way to see what friends read & write? ~the atmosphere's hottest collab? yes yes & yes! Seeing lots of q's after Bluesky's new standard.site link card integration. Here's a TL;DR!

Awesome to see more people thinking about migrating their whole website to Leaflet 🥰 If you haven't tried our new *pages & nav* yet, check it out, helps a lot to make a publication less blog-centric and more of a flexible site…you can even fully customize the homepage!

Who wants to see more @standard.site webrings & other communal publishing experiments? We sure do!!! For something with a smaller trusted group, Leaflet's new group publications feature (make a pub & invite contributors to be able to publish to it) might be fun to try here!

Aaron's site is a great example of our new pages + nav in action…indeed Leaflet's getting more ~website-builder-y~ 😄

ICYMI — Leaflet now has our own @standard.site post block! Just paste a link to a Leaflet post or *any* Standard Site post in the Leaflet editor & hit "embed" Three size options: small, medium, large — a nice complement to our existing inline @-mentions for pubs and posts ✨🍃

I played a bit with these features today and they are excellent. I will be able to finally retire WordPress in favour of a full Leaflet website.

New: Publication PAGES & NAV 🎨📝✨ Go beyond blogs with pages galore…Leaflet's now great for simple websites! - customize your homepage - add an 'About' page - external links e.g. to your podcast :) - new blocks: post list & subscribe form Try it: pub dash ➡️ "Customize" (theme's now there too!)

Question for y'all…what monetization features in Leaflet would you find most useful? We're looking at the expected paid subs direction but *also* curious if you'd want to e.g. sell one-off leaflets, bundles, etc. Would love to hear what kinds of things you'd actually use!

group chat for sharing our leaflet blog writing drafts for comments..... who's in

The Leaflet Story™

New in Leaflet: THREE big things to help us better write and publish together: 👉 Multiplayer cursors 💬 Comments in docs / drafts 👯 Group publications — with Leaflet Pro Especially excited about group pubs — great for teams, orgs, meetups — & building more powerful tools for serious publishers!

Turns out you are a Google Doc killer!?

Cooking up some enhancements for collaborative editing in Leaflet :) Send a friend a doc edit link to give it a try!

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

Some updates to post interactions! - preview interactions from any standard.site post embed! incl leaflet reader & pub homepage lists - combined panel w/ comments + mentions as tabs; opens in a drawer on mobile - simplified bsky thread viewer More we'd like to improve, let us know what you think!

Fact check: TRUE (We've got *two* pretty nice new features almost ready for ya, if anyone wants to take a guess what they might be 👀)

Let's presuppose that leaflet pro's replete with pros of prose And we believe you see the creed we wrote and read the scrolls If we propose to feed the ghost and sow the seed that grows We shall defeat our heedless foes with prose in ceaseless flows
