Unexpected benefit of implementing cover images on leaflet:

I now sometimes hit links on bsky and only discover they're published with leaflet after they open and get a surprise hit of woo-i-made-something-people-use dopamine

Collection + publication is an *excellent* combo!

Thanks for flagging, should be fixed! And working on making things speedier

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

yeah very fair tbh "untitled" sucks. Just pushed a fix! It'll still turn up in the editor but not on the post page or a post listing either on the publication homepage or in feeds. Probably some things we can do to make it nicer, always down for to hear more wisdom from the tumblr veterans

"I had no other choice" is one of my favorite things to read in a technical blog this is awesome! Also love the unison share embed!

This gui demo from a decade+ ago is a lil goofy, but I would kill for a giant trackpad I could map regions on to do different things, ideally with little haptic bumps to differentiate them.

so far singular downside is I had a bunch of application stuff mapped to three finger gestures and niri takes precedence for that. But otherwise loving it. Need to fully wrap my head around sizing habits/patterns tho

trying out niri for a couple days

side scrolling uis are interesting, we tried a lot of stuff w/ leaflet before ending up with that for subpages. They work really well on arbitrary screen sizes, and allow for pretty intuitive naviagtion.

Yes! we have a notification for this in leaflet currently. Now we just need the channels to get these notifications to peopleee

done! easy to add other clients if people ask, I don't think there's a neat way to detect programatically... could look for the profile and post strings in the right place?

which reminds me, i am overdue on writing up how leaflet could use such a thing...

I think notifications in general are an underappreciated element of social media design. Would love to see the atmosphere create new things here!

what ui affordances could make posts like this better? bsky feed reader inside leaflet so it's easier to find the posts? Better search for finding them? Thread embedder vs individual posts?

I have been waiting for this day for so long I don't even know why

Introducing Wireservice - Wireservice Today, an alpha WordPress plugin for standard.site. Tomorrow?

Introducing Wireservice. Today, it's a WordPress plugin in alpha for publishing to @standard.site. Tomorrow, it's... another longform content lexicon? A news aggregation app on atproto? We'll see. wordpress.wireservice.net/index.php/20...

Hmm yeah it's def something we need to figure out. Our thinking has mostly started with trying to make someone's site totally theirs, but I think there are positive ways we can link it back to the homepage and make it easier to get around

oo I think something like that could be super cool! I like the idea of bundling more useful stuff into webrings!

one way we've been thinking about tackling this w/ leaflet is providing a web component that renders a leaflet iframe to handle authed actions, like subscribe, or like, etc.

It's a little funky and some edge cases don't work but basically the first time you visit a domain we control the there's a redirect loop back to our main domain that exchanges signed tokens to set auth cookies on that domain

This is the kinda shit that won't be necessary in the standard.site world

Publish on your own beautiful blog, get access to the same distribution network everyone does

(Also, omg new michael nielsen essay!)

Mmmm I can definitely see the case for it, especially since one of the dominant use cases has become search engines. But also it bloats record size a lot and can be calculated or derived in other ways. Maybe we need to use blobs for it? Tbh I can see a case for using blobs for all content.

Oh also more ways to post to bluesky directly from leaflet!

Right now the leaflet's what's hot algo takes into account likes on the bluesky post linked to the standard.site post. We *could* also take into account likes on *all* bluesky posts that link to the blog post. Thoughts?

now that we have this basic reader stuff working on thing I really want to tackle is to give you more ways to do things to a post. You should be able to excerpt into your common place book, add your own private notes, save to myriad (semble? margin?) collections.

We have a heuristic to check for the leaflet theme property on whether to show it. But we only added that later. So plausibly, it was created in blento, then edited in leaflet and got the theme property, and then we added the filter?

Super thorough walkthrough of implementing a hosted pds for an app! I'm seeing more and folks doing this and hope more and more will!

This is amazing. Everything makes sense, and definitely a bunch of things I would've struggled with, for example the local plc and empty crawlers for dev. Will report back when we implement!

yeah i have not been a liker for the whole time I've been online and the for you feed dramatically changed that. The design pattern of having these systems have things they're *clearly* for makes a lot of sense. Hope to build towards that w/ leaflet!
