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
