I'm really interested in amateur vs professional tensions in civil society. online I've seen that theme touch on web archiving (EDGI, archive.org, traditional libraries); wiki epistemology; open source sustainability; blogging/journalism; free culture; self-hosting; and community moderation

working on the leaflet site.standard.* migrations today! I think to keep it clean, i should update all the comment records, etc to point to the new uris where I can, but that feels kinda messy. Any thoughts?

imagine!

blog prototype as a thread... a vision for the Ultimate Website. A website for a person. POSSE/PASTA. True to the web. Durable. Sovereign. Social web internected. I've been noodling on this since last summer and since then a lot of pieces have come together to make this possible. Let's walk thru it!

hosting lightning artist talks at the end of the month in nyc! would love to see any performances/lectures/scholarly interests falling anywhere under the umbrella of “confounding continuums”. rsvp: luma.com/s433xyut

YESSSS, we'd love to talk to publishers (small or large!) interested in this kind of thing add a social layer to any site, interoperable w/ the whole atmosphere thinking about e.g. widgets for subscribing via atproto (to show in bluesky, leaflet, etc), comments, mentions… (also 👀 wp plugin?!)

🎯

Small silly thing but happy to hit > 10k average step count every month in 2025 (prev year avg a lil over 8k, so a nice increase, I think both running more & more neighborhood walks after we moved) ((kinda feels like an ideal daily baseline but I'd like a few more *long* walks this yr!))

I want to host Christmas next year but ngl other than the driving it's really nice visiting both sides of the family and basically having double xmas

Man one year your baby is just learning to talk and the next year they're saying "I love Bach cello suites…I love…yo yo ma" at bedtime

Excited for this! Team effort from @leaflet.pub + @pckt.blog + @offprint.app + others joining! This'll help w/ interop (discovery, social features, etc) both among atproto apps & with the wider web / blogosphere Good energy for publishing on the social web, shaping up to be an exciting year 📝✨

happy new year friendsss here's to making 2026 wonderful together ✨🥰

I finished this by reading it to my toddler for 40 minutes at bedtime lmao

The race is on: will I make it through the back half of Borges' short story and poem collection Dreamtigers, while still participating to an appropriate degree in family festivities, thus adding one final notch to my annual reading list, before the clock tolls twelve?

I wonder how much the practice of teaching could be improved by everyone writing down things teachers did that changed their life and aggregating them. The deep contextual understanding of a case study seems like a much more applicable means of knowledge production than an RCT.

unfortunately I could prob write up something kinda good here 😂

Any bloggers / internet publishers interested in bringing existing content onto atproto? If you'd find it valuable to add social web features, like comments / discovery / subscribe via atproto, to your site, lmk I'd love to hear from indie blog folks, but also larger sites or collectives!

I really wanted to write a lil blog post today titled "reading 1,000 emails on christmas eve eve"…idk if I'll get to it so at least registering the intent here lolll

Q for @leaflet.pub friends: anything we could do that'd make you wanna write 10x more on leaflet? Or read 10x more or comment 10x more…not about the numbers ofc but things that'd make it much nicer (even for very niche cases!) to be a power user & have fun publishing & do cool community stuff etc

I love cape cod, always a vibe…just today went to a bird store: birding equipment, bird books, bird toys, bird feeders & bird seed by the bucketload, truly an amazing place. And that was just after stopping to look at a life sized nativity scene & buy jam made by nuns. And now: walking to the beach!

a four stanza poem about priests and clocks and whales and fire

woooo check out my Leaflet profile 🍃✨ --> leaflet.pub/p/schlage.town

no surprise, but this is still wiiild: > in January 2025, only 800 Threads users followed at least one account on mastodon.social hypothetical threads userbase is prob a big reason wp/ghost leaned into ap, given atproto a better fit technically…kinda material that purported benefit rounds to zero!

Really enjoyed this piece by @anil.recoil.org , & great to see more recognition of the potential of ATProto for science! @atproto.science anil.recoil.org/notes/princi...

on the one hand: this is cool; Leaflet is a baseball app now! haha shoutout @desertthunder.dev on the other hand: not yet seeing ppl use tags to coordinate publishing activity (what I'm most excited for!) idk maybe not the right fit, we'll keep playing w/ stuff!

it should be illegal to make a t-shirt that looks cool but isn't soft

synaloepha: the merging of two syllables into one Los cabellos que-al oro-oscurecían. [The hair that endarkened the gold.] -Garcilaso de la Vega d.1536 Not quite the same, but I thought this lady's name was "Anna Rundell" (d.1649) for a long time #hendecasyllable #hendecasyllabic #poetrysky

good post! touches on a lot of interesting things in internet publishing today: website as "online magazine" vs blog & publishing in *seasons*, experiments with "replanting" older articles, the emergent *open social* movement & challenges of recapturing the energy of the blogosphere…

just published this (v1) trail "get started with leaflet.pub!" walking through making docs, creating a pub, trying one-off *looseleafs* and our canvas feature, social features… plz 👀 and lmk any thoughts / feedback / errors and omissions / confusing bits before I share from @leaflet.pub !

enjoying this series! thoughtful WIP design for recurring payments, cool to see :)

nice! feel free to test by reporting any @leaflet.pub bugs :) (but plz also add to our tangled repo if they're important haha…would be cool to sync there somehow!)

Tools is exactly what I’m trying to get at with @slices.network but for AT. I’m thinking about spinning up tools.slices.network that showcases one off mini apps built on different quickslices. Form to create a @grain.social gallery, teal fm feed, tangled search, etc.

ditto :p

these prompts are great!!! I'd <3 to see any participants use @leaflet.pub to write about what you make, if you don't already have a blog! can link to creations (and/or iframe embed), share to bluesky on publish… + can add the tags to leaflet posts *and* to bsky post on share!

I really like this pattern as a way to define community prompts! anyone want to try this out? something like: - make a prompt (writing, creative challenge, whatev) + tag - make a @leaflet.pub post (in pub, or looseleaf) describing it - see responses on the tag page; can even embed in orig post

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!

great book thread & this app can use more great book threads

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?

Read about why i made @pckt.blog !! And while you’re at it, maybe make a pckt blog for yourself :)

3 @leaflet.pub blogs: one at work where you hone your hashtag thought leadership, one with friends where you form a hyperniche webring and share all the good shit, one a node in the emergent atmosphere-blogosphere where you go so deep you recreate the best of the early web from first principles

cool demo, I just tried it out & supported a couple folks, pretty slick! can use work in the naming + branding department haha but a nice proof of concept; appreciate seeing more experimentation with atproto payments / creator tools!

Boshi’s, NYC nonprofit games space, is hosting an end of year fundraiser!! Your generous support is greatly appreciated. For more about how, what, when, where, and why, see the link in our bio. We love you! #game #nyc #donate #videogames #boardgames #giveback

Our team at @newpublic.org has spent the last couple of months co-designing & building Roundabout — a new platform to help local communities share information & support, without the chaos and toxicity common elsewhere. This week, we’re moving into a closed beta in 5 towns/cities across the US 👀

Leaflet tag idea: "atproto"! FYI tags are live now! you can tag posts "atproto" or anything else — announcing later today & telling folks a bit ahead so we can get some examples ready :) Question for atmosphere bloggers & beyond: are there other tags we should collectively adopt?

good post! agree: we need to make great products that stand on their own with best in class user experience *and* make awesome new things possible with the ecosystem…*and* repeat til it becomes the default also…first post tagged `atproto` on Leaflet! 👀

Leaflet tag idea: fiction / fanfic — I don't know what tags specifically will be most useful (especially starting out at this smaller scale), but I DO know y'all are gonna have IDEAS here cc-ing some Leaflet writers below who might be interested, lmk if you have thoughts / give it a try!

Leaflet tag idea: "game making" several folks blogging about game design process, play experience, handmade games & more! thoughts? cc/ @jonasmerlin.bsky.social @fee.cool @laesquinadelrol.com @nickelbolt.bsky.social (tags are live now; want to get some examples ready before announcing tmrw!)
