Thanks Jay, this is looking good! Re: (1) you could increase the max page width from theme settings if you like. For (2) not currently, but could make sense as an option. We want to emphasize for blogs but for cases where it's homepage first, blog second, I can see wanting that different. Will talk w/ the team about it!Appreciate it, reach out if you have any questions or things we can help with!Thanks Debbie, glad to hear it!Yes appviews should respect deletes, but also yes in a sense like anything on the public internet in that others may index/archive even if the original is deleted. Permissioned data (WIP for the protocol) should be interesting in opening up more options for less globally public publishing.Yeah lots of interesting things are possible and become more powerful as more folks use this, from more global search / discovery tools, to things based on surfacing particular activity from your social graph!Cool, good to hear it, thanks Mike!Thanks :) Footnotes do show as popovers more inline on smaller screens! You can also quote text in comments on published posts (like these); authors *could* use that as well to add context.Woo thanks Roscoe, excited to hear any feedback once you play around!Thank you!!Thanks Norbert, good ideas!Hey, thanks so much for the feedback here! Lots of good ideas :) Quick replies:
Agree some basic analytics would be useful in the free tier, maybe subscriber growth but not details on posts / referrers.
For email, would love to have a decent free tier eventually. For now thinking of "newsletter mode" as more of an add-on vs a thing everyone will necessarily want, since we're more blog first vs email first. But there's ofc a big range here, from Ghost (no free tier) to Buttondown (tiny free tier) to Substack (% model only) and more. So we'll expect to iterate!
Goal is definitely for the pro plan to include a bunch of things, not just analytics. Hard to avoid some complexity given the mix of things here but want to keep it as straightforward as we can. Additional plans e.g. creator vs publisher could make sense, we'll probably get to something like that down the line.
And yes agree we need more killer features / clear wedge for our positioning!
Thanks, yes definitely keeping an eye on permissioned data work for things like memberships! And into the sub-newsletters idea. Indeed probably via Stripe to start; want to keep it simple but open to other payment options eventually.Yep, that's what we're working on with email support! So people will be able to subscribe with atproto or just by email :)No, it just means the data for posts/pubs lives in your PDS with those records. The public urls are still on leaflet.pub (or a custom domain if you set one up!)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 :)
Good idea yeah makes sense to gradually shift more in that direction!Thank you! :DGood idea! You can also @-mention publications but we don't do the preview card for those, that'd be nice to add too.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.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!
