GreenGale User Guide

🔎 GreenGale is introducing a new semantic + keyword search algorithm that indexes itself, WhiteWind, and Standard Site documents and publications. Try it out: greengale.app

GreenGale now supports RSS. Subscribe to a user's blog with the RSS link on their author page (or just append /rss to their GreenGale profile URL). This feed includes WhiteWind and GreenGale posts from that user.

If anyone is still having issues scraping from GreenGale with automated tools, don't hesitate to let us know. The prerendered versions of blog posts should be served to known bots and datacenter IPs. @exaai.bsky.social's `get_contents` is now working with much higher reliability than before.

On the subway? In the wilderness? Infrastructure outage? Continue to blog about it on GreenGale with the offline draft editor. Enabled by default, just open the app and hit 'New Post'. Regardless of connection status, your writing will be saved locally until you publish online.

GreenGale is available as a PWA on desktop and mobile devices. Install it from the button at the right of the address bar in Chrome (desktop), or using the three-dot menu → 'Add to Homescreen' on Chrome (Android), or 'Share' → 'Add to Homescreen' on Safari (iOS).

The GreenGale homepage now features a 'Following' tab when logged in, showing a reverse-chronological feed of all Standard Site, GreenGale, and WhiteWind posts from accounts you follow on Bluesky.

This is great news from Leaflet. greengale.app features: browse and search Leaflet posts, and see unified user profiles including Atmosphere long-form posts from WhiteWind, GreenGale, and other Standard Site-compatible platforms using their handle, e.g. `greengale.app/user.handle`.

GreenGale Lexicons | Documentation for Developers

GreenGale now fully supports Bluesky embeds within WhiteWind posts, including images. Enjoy cross-platform continuity with dual lexicon support.

🟢 New in GreenGale this week: fixed some broken records, added voice themes, masonry layout for cards on home and author pages, auto-save drafts, image paste support, various performance improvements, and a new loading indicator. Stay tuned for the fun part: user and developer documentation.

@greengale.app new loading indicator

QOL feature: drafts are auto-saved to local storage as you write. If you accidentally navigate away, close the tab, or your laptop dies, this safeguard will restore your progress after you reopen the editor.

In addition to visual themes, you can now set a voice theme for your blog. Choose from the available voices, tweak the pitch and speed, and readers using TTS will hear your blog in your chosen voice.

New feature: add tags to your posts on GreenGale. Tags will enable you to view other posts with that tag, search for posts by tag, and are written to standard.site records for discoverability in the growing ecosystem. No '#' required. #tag

New TTS features: try altering the voice to your preferences with 28 voice options and adjustable pitch.

New feature: the search bar now finds GreenGale, WhiteWind, and Standard Site content by user handle, display name, publication name, or URL.

Interoperability update: you can now select "Enable standard.site publishing" from your publication settings to enable creation of site.standard records whenever you create a GreenGale post. Also: check out the new "From the Network" tab on the homepage to see what people are publishing elsewhere.

Introducing the GreenGale V2 Lexicon with @standard.site compatibility

Happy New Year! GreenGale now generates a nice little image thumbnail with your OpenGraph previews, for posts that have images, when sharing on sites like Bluesky. Expect continued refinements and features in 2026.

GreenGale now renders linked Bluesky posts inline. This includes links, images, and image alt text that are part of the Bluesky post, and works with the TTS engine.

New in GreenGale: the editor now features a toolbar (convenient for users who don't speak markdown as a first language), a split view that puts the editor and formatted preview side-by-side, and an improved image alt text flow.

GreenGale's TTS engine features real-time text highlighting and seeking navigation by clicking on the text. On GPU accelerated devices, this runs in faster than real-time, enabling responsive audio for blogs. A play/pause button, progress bar, and speed selector are also available.

GreenGale now features a "Listen" button. This uses Kokoro 82M running locally in-browser, and triggers a one-time ~82MB download. Markdown is parsed before being passed to the TTS model for a best attempt at natural-sounding pauses for punctuation.

GreenGale posts now feature a "Share on Bluesky" button, and show interactions from the Bluesky network. Included are Bluesky posts that link to that post on GreenGale, as well as any comments to those posts.

GreenGale now has native image support. Drag and drop an image into your post to insert it at the cursor. Images are processed client-side and then stored on your PDS. Add alt text and content labels. Images can be added or removed, and metadata edited later in the editor.

Posts on GreenGale now include a table of contents with navigation links. The TOC is derived from headings H1-H6, with nested indentation. As a blog author, if you're using headings, you don't need to do anything differently to make your posts navigable. Heading links are copy/pasteable URLs.

As a security enhancement, GreenGale now uses OAuth scopes to request the least necessary permissions. This means that it will no longer have access to do anything on your account other than create, update, and delete the two relevant collections.

The whitelist is removed, and GreenGale is now in open beta. Expect a feature-rich, accessible blogging experience with more to come in the near future.

New feature: GreenGale supports SVGs. SVG content is sanitized for security and displayed inline. To include an SVG in a code block, you can use "svg" as the language, e.g. ```svg <svg>...</svg> ```

The GreenGale lexicon is a superset of WhiteWind's for backward compatibility. Choose one or the other depending on your needs, both are indexed from the jetstream and shown in GreenGale.

🟩 how are we feeling about the palette

GreenGale is a WhiteWind-compatible markdown blog platform on AT protocol. Supports per-post theme presets and inline KaTeX. Choose between WhiteWind and GreenGale lexicons in the composer. Stay tuned for information on the beta release, or check it out now in read-only mode: greengale.app
