New post on our recent Leaflet Pro launch! ~From where we're starting — publication analytics ~To where we're headed — email, memberships & more TL;DR — building new things for serious writers, while keeping as many expressive publishing tools as we can free for everyone Hit us with any feedback!

Let me take a moment to talk about why it’s so awesome seeing the growth of publishing tools built on AT Protocol, the same open technology powering Bluesky. It’s about ownership, control, and future-proofing your publishing, whether it’s your blog, your newsletter, or just your homepage. 🧵

You can now swipe to indent/out sent lists on mobile!

Speaking of @atmosphereconf.org — awesome to see the new website take shape, including this "Leaflet Clippings" section: atmosphereconf.org#leaflet-clip... With preview of posts from the conference publication! news.atmosphereconf.org

We're excited to meet many of you at @atmosphereconf.org later this week! If you'll be there, join us on Friday for our workshop on Atmospheric Publishing — here's the initial outline! Please feel free to read & share thoughts even if you can't make it, helpful to hear your feedback ✨🌀

Damn - @graze.social @stream.place @roomy.space all involved, posting updates on @leaflet.pub + @standard.site, and a schedule on @smokesignal.events lexicon to boot. @atmosphereconf.org is atproto-maxxing and then some.

Very cool: get leaflet posts as markdown…

I must admit I hadn’t read one of these through until today but WOW. Community driven reporting via open protocol collaborative tools. And there’s SO MUCH happening in the Atmosphere! SO @chrisshank.com @semble.so and @leaflet.pub

Wow (this one's for all our Northern Hemisphere friends) just realized today is the vernal equinox! The first day of spring! Let this be a sign to start your Leaflet publication 🌱 Or…create another! 🌷🪴🌻🌵🌹🌳🪻🌿 Happy writing / growing / gardening 🍃 leaflet.pub

New post with examples of Leaflets fluently flourishing our two new fantastic favorite features: footnotes and fonts† †okay, *typefaces*, sorry sorry!

Good idea; we just made headers linkable in Leaflet! Right click to copy & share an anchor link like this: lab.leaflet.pub/3mhgvk6vnbk2...

ICYMI last month — wrote up some more detail on our new Reader! Recommended posts, new in-app feeds, Read vs Write modes, how our "Trending" algo works (it's very simple) and more :) Still lots of room to improve…custom feeds? richer social context? Let us know what you think!

May we propose: For true pros of prose! Leaflet Pro. For writers of provable (or probable) prowess & proactive process! Pro is protean, an early product. But we promise swift progress. ~ Now: Publication Analytics Soon: Email & Memberships What else? Ideas? Please, pronounce your demands below!

About a ~dozen things from the first ~month of the year, retroactively aggregated…likely some you may have missed! Both new features — page width, small/large text, cover images, editable post dates — and improvements to things like mentions, block handling, and our Bluesky thread viewer ✨

Tumblr users who are unhappy at the moment because of the new update to notes/reblogs - good time to check out making a Leaflet

"Make a Leaflet because why not?"

Wow about to hit 4k followers 👀 Want to do us a solid and tell friends about Leaflet? Maybe… "If you like open social publishing, you're gonna love Leaflet!" "Finally, a great blogging tool + an open network…time to ditch Substack!" …or y'know something to that effect :) Thanks, appreciate y'all!

Good post about Leaflet & how it enables open publishing, where you own your data. Thanks @roel.vanhooydonck.nl! Appreciate that it mentions… - make publications /blogs *and* publish standalone docs - start at leaflet.pub/new; log in with atproto to publish later - and, yes, fully open source!

This *is* an awesome way to help support Leaflet! It *may be* good motivation to write more too! And we *are* looking forward to adding more cool & useful things in Leaflet Pro very soon!

Couple hours left on our launch day offer! Ends 3pm ET. To answer one q we got: yes you'll keep the $10 (monthly) or $100 (annual) rate as long as you stay subscribed. To answer another q: we're working on email (or ~newsletter mode~) next! What else would you like to see in Leaflet Pro?

Lovely! — need one of these for seasoning leaflets 🧂🍃😍

Leaflet is such a wonderful place for blogging, and partially so if you're plugged into the Bluesky ecosystem. Getting a Pro subscription is 100% worth it, for the extra features, but also just to support the project.

This could be you! 🙌🍃✨

Leaflet Pro is open to all! Thank you to our early testers :) Next 24 hrs only — $10/m or $100/y with code 'LEAFPROLAUNCH' 🍃🎉💯 Sign up from user menu or pub 'analytics' tab. Big step toward making Leaflet sustainable & lots planned, incl email & memberships. Excited to hear what you think!

Maybe we should call it "Leaflet PRO(se)" 🤔

We're testing a *Pro* plan for publishers ✨🌱 One big feature to start — analytics (views, referrers, subscribers) — and adding more soon. Also just a great way to support Leaflet! $12/m or $120/y We'd like to test the signup flow with a few early adopters. If you're interested please reach out!

here at leaflet we're driven by an unwavering beleaf in social publishing. in fact we pride ourselves on our atmospheric industry leafership. every day we do our best to leaferage new opportunities to aleafiate suffering caused by inadequate publishing tools. as we like to say: leaf no draft behind!

Who is making this??! 👀

Want to highlight this b/c it's one of our favorite ways to use Leaflet too! Subpages make Leaflet flexible for notes & drafts as well as for publishing. We use subpages pretty often for non-public shared notes, or as temporary workspaces to have notes + drafts side by side!

Leaflet is rapidly becoming *the* best publishing platform

New: footnotes! One of our top editor requests…and not one thing but three! * Footnotes: classic, bottom of post † Sidenotes: easy reference, with wider windows ‡ Popover: tap to preview, great on mobile Sadly we did not get *recursive footnotes* into this release; DFW-aspirants…PR welcome :P

New: font options in Leaflet! 🔡 ☞ six curated fonts ☞ set for both body & header ☞ option to add *any* Google Font The Google Font option is fun for adding funky headers…a few examples here :) Also useful for non-English scripts. More ways to theme your writing with its own special flavor!

Thinking about *living documents*… What kinds of docs, posts, pages, sites, notebooks — anything you might want to share / publish! — comes to mind? What would make Leaflets feel more *alive*??

Small change to our default theme…now 99% more Leafletty! 🍃 old (blue): `#0000FF` new (green): `#639431`

Feeling the urge to drop a couple F-bombs on our friends, family, and followers…maybe on Friday…………

Did you know you can publish *Looseleafs* on Leaflet?! Make a publication if you want a whole blog…but if you want a simple way to publish one-off longposts, make a Looseleaf :) sign in with atproto make a new doc at leaflet.pub/new then Publish --> as Looseleaf ✨🍃🙌

Unfinished blog posts of varying quality that I'm sitting on and may or may not post. Shoutout to @leaflet.pub which is the only interface that makes me want to write for some reason. Somehow I designed my page in a way that makes me like being there (and using it).

PSA: with ordered lists we've hit parity with core Markdown!* Paragraphs, h1–h3, dividers, code blocks, link blocks, images, block quotes, ordered & unordered lists, inline code & links, bold & italic… (*Main one 'missing' is arbitrary HTML…okay technically h4–h6 too but no one asks about those)

Small fix — published Looseleafs now properly respect "page background" theme setting Why does this matter? Page background is useful for subpages (why we had initially!) but turning it off gets you more minimal layout & nicer scrolling (full window, not just inside each page)…so…options! ✨

Finally added a general Open Graph image for Leaflet 👀✨ We've already got OG images for publications & docs / posts…even a way to set a cover image on published posts! Now: nicer previews for top-level pages like leaflet.pub/reader and leaflet.pub too :)

Cool experiment — discovery tool for blogs in the atmosphere!

Uninspired by unsightly, unseemly "untitled"s? Improved this — posts will still have a title section, but now, if untitled, that should be hidden on the post page and in listings (publication homepage & feeds). Good suggestion!

Always appreciate this kind of thoughtful & specific feedback! Several new things in our reader, plenty of room to improve, we'd love to hear other thoughts & ideas…is "what's hot" hot enough? is being able to preview comments / mentions useful?

Thanks again!! Two more things to note: 1) Leaflet's open source; you can find our code at: Tangled - tangled.org/leaflet.pub/... Github - github.com/hyperlink-ac... 2) Grahame *also* improved our README with detail on setting up a local dev environment — any feedback let us know!

Insane we didn't have this for so long lmao. Thank you @grahame.fyi for finally making our editor meet basic expectations!!!

New in Leaflet: ordered lists! It's got the basics you expect *and* some nice touches like editable list numbers and auto-cascade/renumbering logic Shoutout to @grahame.fyi for landing a big PR, including lexicon changes, to add this! 🙏🎉

I love atproto bc wdym I can post my @leaflet.pub posts to my @bsky.app and then those can show up immediately on my @blento.app AND people can read these posts from any other compatible atproto blogging site like @pckt.blog ???

Yes! Two quick tips: 1) If you're logging into Leaflet with a Blacksky-hosted account, click the "atproto handle" login option (not the Bluesky button) 2) We made it work to embed blacksky.community posts as well as bsky.app posts — just paste the post link in any Leaflet draft and hit "embed" ✨

daily reminder: this is the year of atmospheric publishing ✨📝

Just realized the smarties at @leaflet.pub migrated to `site.standard.graph.subscription` so when I subscribe to something in pckt it shows up in my Leaflet Reader feed and when I subscribe to something in Leaflet it shows up in my pckt rdr. FOLKS. IT. IS. HAPPENING. atproto.at/viewer?uri=d...
