Holiday baking is upon us!! In case you are in need of recipes, I developed this recipe for sandwich cookies with ganache filling a while ago. It is effortful, but they're delicious, beautiful and impressive~ They're also SUPER customizable!

New: *Looseleaf* publishing — a way to publish standalone Leaflets on AT Protocol! 📝🍃 We started with publications on atproto; now we're bringing it all together so _anything_ you write on Leaflet, incl single documents / posts, can be 'atprotated' :) Learn more in thread! ⬇️

lab.leaflet.pub/3m664kxn3xk2... Rip this is now out of date as I just added notifications for mentions on bluesky as well!

Spotlight: 9 creative Leaflet publications 🧵🍃✨ We're thrilled to see the diversity of writing on Leaflet—music, movies, games, craft, poetry, link blogs, life logs & beyond—and want to highlight a few we love! Subscribe to these & browse leaflet.pub/discover (+ bsky feeds on our profile) for more!

New in Leaflet: notifications ❗️🔔 We kept it simple to start — notifications for: - comments on your posts - replies to comments you make - new follows of your publications Log in & see here: leaflet.pub/notifications What *other* things do you want notifications for? Reply & we'll make a poll!

The best thing I’ve ever brought home from travels is… My gum gum fruit themed soy sauce dispensing katamari elephant!!!!

Inspired by @joebasser.com to mess around with some AT Proto logos too... Do any of these speak to you?!

Sharing some personal thoughts and feelings about the last weekend on the world's number one baseball app

On the one hand, if the choice is between Substack and Patreon, the latter is clearly better. But also, yes, building on decentralized tech you control (or can migrate) is ideal and should be encouraged. It's part of why I'm so bullish on @leaflet.pub, which has paid memberships on its roadmap.

pls vote table, i have it designed it's been sitting on a branch for literally half a year lmao

Y’all are sleeping

REMINDER! — nyc atproto friends! — hosting a meetup in Brooklyn this Wednesday evening, RSVP here! 🦋🗽🍕🍻🙌✨ We'll do a lil show and tell [twist: share a fave project someone *else* made!], talk ideas for collab & growing the atmosphere… I'll send another reminder soon to solicit pizza requests :)

as chief icon maker, here's the official ranking for every @leaflet.pub icon

heckin WOW

99% of my coding experience smh So far, I like the @tangled.org UI much better Github's! It's faster, and I like seeing the commit log per branch right on the main page, rather than having to click into a tiny, hard to find button to see it.

Also! — we know there's lots we can do to help with reader / subscriber experience & discovery in the atmosphere from notifications & email to tags & feeds & other ways of collectively organizing longform content… *for now* though, you'll find some *great* things to read here!

Small internet is back.

We're launching some Leaflet home improvements, PART ONE! Big things here: - unified layout/nav - more view options for docs - integrated 'discover' Read on for what's new!

📚🎥👾🎵📺 Popfeed updates! • You can now cross post to @leaflet.pub and @bsky.app! • Added create menu to quickly create reviews, posts, and more. • Added search to web • Most bugs from lexicon migration should be resolved

How can we make Leaflet better for fandom? LOTS of ideas here — incl a whole feedback blog post! — from tagging to expressivity to content policy to navigation flexibility to collaborativ publications… Third in our series on improving Leaflet for different communities; we'd love your thoughts!

Some people believe product design is just about arranging rectangles on a page. It's not. It's about arranging *rounded* rectangles on a page.

Re-sharing this just to let y'all know we: 1) fixed an aspect ratio bug that was cutting off share preview images, should be nicer now :) 2) added a new background image for *lab notes* with better leafy vibes ✨🍃 Oh yes—please also chime in re: Leaflet ideas for academic publishing communities!

They know we're taking on Substack & WordPress. 👀 Do they know we're coming for Notion & Google Docs too? 🫣

What's the website for when the dappled light filters down between the trees...

Anyone a Typepad user / interested in working on a migration tool to Leaflet? They're shutting down on short notice; detail in thread. Not familiar with their cms & not sure how much time we'll have to explore this but would love to hear from interested folks & see how we can support!

Ookay, just did a bunch of stuff to improve sync perf in leaflet! Still work to do to ensure when you publish it doesn't publish unsynced content, but that case should be *much* rarer now. Let me know if y'all run into any more wierdness, and appreciate any stress testing!

Hoping to consume a least two liters of specialty coffee a day to stay hydrated so need those reccs!!!

Folk Around and Find Out

Leaflet publications now have comments! These are *not* Bluesky posts—it's our own comment lexicon! Right now: simple comment section with nested replies. In the future…lots more ideas (sorting options? likes/upvotes?) first spotted by @ribo.zone - good catch :) lab.leaflet.pub/3lveimjgk3k2v

Maybe a better way of putting this: what do you want to do w/ leaflet docs that's possible on atproto & not possible w/ standalone docs now? I think the obvious ones are things like quotes & comments, and just having the data in open queryable form in your pds…but looking for more concrete ideas!

Omg peak new combo move @leaflet.pub x @spencer.place web stone i keep the stone in my kitchen and literally just tap to the leaflet where i record my recipes life. changing.

We wrote a quick letter, on Substack, to Substack creators — a call for anyone similarly tired of publishing trending toward walled garden social platforms: Join us on a more open network & publishing ecosystem!

I wrote something a lil… quacky!!!

making assets for OG hyperlink academy was so funnn here's an oldie but a goodie from then!

i maaAaaAAAAde this <3

NEW — subscribe to Leaflet Publications via atproto! *Subscriptions* for publications = two main parts: - a "subscription" record, representing the subscriber to publication relationship - a custom Bluesky feed we generate, unique per user, linking to new posts in pubs you're subscribed to

rough roadmap for how we're thinking about following/subscribing to Leaflet Publications…would love to hear what you think!

omg stay tuned 👀

on sale: a bit for cutting the Freshest, Juiciest Grooves.

what feels promising for building alt-substack on atproto? made this doc collecting some notes + posts about bluesky/atproto & possibilities for subscriptions/publishing! lots of ppl looking for substack alternatives & excited to explore this space with @leaflet.pub

New in Leaflet: Bluesky post blocks A simple way to embed any Bluesky post in Leaflet…but not just a standard iframe; we store the post data directly & custom render so it matches your theme! Great for linked comments on an essay, thematic collections, annotated posts for research, whatever!

trying to revamp our lil @leaflet.pub newsletter & its landing page a bit…anything else you'd add? should we keep it focused on product updates or try to include more prompts, demos/examples, thinking out loud etc? anyway—subscribe for Leaflet updates!

Customization should be more than "choose one of 6 designer approved pastels". When it comes to personalization, users need saving from themselves way less than we think.

We made pages showing lots of great ways to use Leaflet—events, collections, projects, websites & more! Details for each below ✨🍃 How you can help: - post cool examples you make - let us know how we can improve Leaflet - share with friends who might find it useful!

Hit the polls…the Leaflet polls, that is! That's right — we added poll blocks — hit "/poll" to add one anywhere in a doc! ~add as many options as you like ~select multiple Use for draft feedback, organizing events, voting with friends…or…a public roadmap! Try here & help us out w/ feedback :)

New in Leaflet: custom domains! Link a Leaflet to any domain you own — root or subdomain, with optional path (e.g. web . site / page) …and the publish link will live at that domain! Give it a try (note: Leaflet account required) & let us know how it goes!
