I wanted Substack to be a place for great writing, and it turned into its own social network just as crappy as the rest of the legacy sites. I’m still looking for the solution for my writing’s home. (I’d like to host it myself but am intrigued by the atproto stuff here!)
Appreciate that! This might be of interest: Leaflet, standard.site, and open social publishing! - now possible to self-host *and* hook into atproto; something like  could be useful :)

Thanks for sharing these!
- planning to do cover images as thumbnails in post list, agree that'll be nice!
- need to think more about light/dark theme, would be cool but adds complexity (alternatives: maybe *reader* default theme options?)
- fonts: working on it, more soon!
- not sure yet if we'll do tags scoped to publications, but we do want to add pages for more flexibility here
- dedicated mobile app not planned near term, but we can definitely try to polish rough edges of the PWA

With this out of the way, I think it might be a good time to start mentioning Bluesky a bit less liberally on your site and give more focus on AT proper (i.e. having a straightforward 'Subscribe' button on publications and simply asking users to give their "AT handle" on the login pop-up)
Good idea yeah makes sense to gradually shift more in that direction!

oh this is a great start but yes pleaaaaase an option to separate them ;_; for me my bsky is just personal shitposting and i very much intend to keep it that way, so it's like "edm freak mitzi" and i would like to describe my leaflets ON leaflet LMAOOOO even if i am really fr just edm freak mitzi forever
Good idea! You can also @-mention publications but we don't do the preview card for those, that'd be nice to add too.

Something really nice with this is that you _can_ see the comments from Bluesky, but I think Erlend's idea could be nice too; kinda incorporate Bluesky comments from the original post into the Leaflet comments page, or otherwise make that thread more easily visible.
Some kind of merged view could be interesting to play with. Also might become more visible if you turn off comments so quotes/mentions is the only thing there. Maybe we can try other settings or options here.

OK, I did a test publish. Confirming that it is a regular Bluesky post embed, and also confirming that this doesn't work in unpublished leaflets. I was trying to carefully click trying to find how to make it work.
Ahh yeah published post only, would be cool to work in previews too but we'd have to rework some stuff. Also into inline thread unroll…either as embed, or to e.g. extract your own thread into a draft!

Can we attach custom domain to profile page?
Oh interesting, hadn't considered - not yet but we can think about it! Not sure if it makes sense without the page being customizable but can see more options for profile pages being cool too eventually

For Tangled, repos, issues, and PRs would be the easy thing to do first and be vastly useful, but being able to mention branches or even commits would be nice.
Agree, this would be a really cool one for scoped sub-search within a repo

Discussing NSFW tags, I think Cohost had a really good system for this - it had a general adult content toggle, a hide-by-default spoiler system that let you add a description of the included content, and tags that could be hidden on the reader side. It's honestly what I wish Bsky would go with instead of an enumerated label system that definitionally cannot cover all topics you'd want to hide by default itself.
Nice! Yeah it'd be nice if Bluesky supported out of band hashtags directly, just looks better / less cluttered too. Hopefully a decent balance how we have hidden in post header (tap to show) and all tags listed in footer. Adult content toggle would definitely be a useful addition.

This is great! iOS does support native notifications for PWAs. Discourse supports it.
Sorry replying late here haha but yeah I agree push notif support would be great!

Thanks so much for sharing all these thoughts! We're definitely thinking a lot about tagging and expressivity (soon will add subpage support in publications, and want to experiment w/ tags too).

Glad to hear having comments in the side panel, easier to read alongside the main text, is helpful :) Love the ideas re: better ways to browse comments too. And planning to add basic comment moderation (e.g. creator can hide comments). Thinking about collab publications and writer profiles too!

Posted a summary of these ideas + other feedback we've been collecting here!
