Good to see more conversation on learning & research orgs in the atmosphere, should be a fun session!

Lots of potential around things like:

~interop between apps
~shared social contexts & group primitives
~publishing & living documents
~collaborative events
~websites as community scaffolding

Very cool! Going to be exploring simple memberships with @leaflet.pub, along with email. Ideally keep it simple, might fall somewhere in between substack / ko-fi to start :)

Following up to note that we added custom fonts (a few more default options + support for any google font). Also a way to set max page width. Still on the list to get to more homepage layout options!

Hey Tyler, cool to see you on here! Been thinking this place is due for a tpot renaissance…not just bluesky but the atproto ecosystem more broadly has lots of good energy & things becoming possible that I don't think really are anywhere else. Glad to point to some things to check out if you like!

Semble great for a collection. Leaflet for like annotated bibliography / more text + media (subpages can be useful). Want to get some integration happening so we can have best of both :)

I’m seeing several threads in which academic (-adjacent) folks are lamenting the collapse of publishing and imagining alternative forms of publication – collectives of essayists, etc. Look to the blog collectives of the early aughts (Crooked Timber!), the contemporary worker-owned collectives!

Great atmospheric experiment with collective curation + publishing pipeline!

Would love to support ways to publish more collaborative in @leaflet.pub but even now things like open collections in @semble.so make it easy to prototype in this direction!

Astute observers of our @tangled.org repo will observe that we did in fact do just that! Will announce shortly :)

I def get that haha, playing with Hyperlink recently and still miss parts of it, both the more learning focused vibes and cozy collab workspace stuff. I think all of us would love to work more aspects of that vision back into what we can do w/ Leaflet + the broader atmosphere ecosystem here!

i'm just an onlooker but it seems like @leaflet.pub is such a good example of a technology that waited around for the right wave and then rode it: leaflet existed as just a document editor on the web for a long time before the atproto wave came around, and then it all locked into place

Yeah! Cool to see the leaflet lore on here haha, been a long process from hyperlink to leaflet & this time last year early in exploring the atproto direction…realizing that show HN was exactly a year ago, we should maybe do another for Leaflet-the-social-publishing-app!

Niceee! Got coffee w/ @rishkebab.blacksky.team recently too actually, all kinds of stuff to explore here!

Oh cool! Just read, great post. Sorry to hear browsing is harder these days. Certainly not the same but making me think how we need better ways to browse digitally w/o losing the texture, spatial context, thingness of books…serendipitous spatial interface e.g. for browsing thriftbooks could be cool.
