The last couple of months have been filled with conversations that have me more excited about the future of the internet than I've been in 20 years.

Thinking about limited run / pop-up publications @leaflet.pub I think fun as a format, different writer <> reader relationship & diff dynamic w/ one-off paid thing vs ongoing membership, could be a nice way for folks to try leaflet w/o migrating a whole pub… Thoughts? Who'd be into this?

Make your website on Leaflet!!! It takes minutes to to create and update something nice~ Excellent for blogs, newsletters, comics, portfolios, novels, tutorials, poems, photography, link in bios, and more! (all real things people built on Leaflet!) Ie, Sygnin's excellent comic! nowherecomic.com

nowherecomic.comNowhereNowhere is a fantasy-action comic by Sygnin & Wayne Santos. Made with Leaflet.pub
Sygnin@sygnin.com

I've been finding it fun to use lately. It can be like normal blog, or you can use it to make a website. It'd be fun to have more artists using it (so I can also link my blog to you and follow your blogs/sites!)

Substack… − walled garden + open social ecosystem − edgelords and, uh, white nationalists + artists and creators who <3 the internet − increasing enshittification + open source & interoperable − feature bloat & hard sells + fun & playful & easy to use = Leaflet 🍃✨

he didn't even mention we added masonry layout to our image gallery...

brendan@schlage.town

wow k @awarm.space & @cozylittle.house shipped a *lot* while I was on parental leave…tl;dr: duplicate leaflet / improved outliner / versioning / print styles / recommends block / tag drawer / improved canvas (& drawing!) / email-only posts / scheduled publishing / reply block / questions block…

Leaflet reposted

I like this haha… would love to hear any other ideas / fun constraints for publications you'd love to see someone experiment with on @leaflet.pub (maybe we can help??)

Chenoe Hart@chenoehart.bsky.social

Idea for a publication: your pitch can be no longer than a skeet. To reduce the volume of submissions, they must be physically printed on orange paper and mailed in. The editor replies to each one.

Sygnin's right~ I just shipped cropping options for leaflet's cover images! I know there were some bad auto cropped thumbnails guys sorry bout that 😭

Sygnin@sygnin.com

Yay! Thanks @leaflet.pub @cozylittle.house for adding crop function to post preview images! This helps so much coz many of my pics are portrait and they get beheaded lol (Sorry for crappy video, easiest to just use phone to make one)

Use Leaflet to make your blog, website & more! 👯 web publishing, but make it social 🎨 like a mix of notion + substack + wordpress… 😌 expressive *and* — this is important — EASY TO USE Creators: give it a spin & let us know what you think! Oh & don't forget to try our newly improved *canvas*!

celine@cozylittle.house

Use @leaflet.pub!! Websites, portfolios, blogs and newsletters for artists writers and creatives! Zerooo code needed, very themable!!! It’s free for most but emails need the pro plan I am sooo friendly pls DM me with questions or suggestions! bsky.app/profile/leaf...

Would anyone find this interesting? If yes, what prompt(s)?

brendan@schlage.town

Noodling…would anyone be interested in sponsoring a lil blogging contest on a given topic / prompt? @leaflet.pub could cosponsor & promote & give the winner leaflet pro I think it'd be fun & no need to be some huge thing, could be like $100, ideally we try a few Reply if that sounds interesting!

We've got some great tools not only for publishing, but for making the writing process easier! Like… - multiplayer cursors - private editor-only comments - subpages (canvas too!) What else would be helpful for getting that first draft on the page, editing your posts, or making writing more fun?

brendan@schlage.town

Okay we've been working a ton on *publishing tools* in @leaflet.pub; I'd like to hear what *writing tools* you'd find useful! For example — I love our subpages feature for having e.g. outline/draft side by side… Other ideas: word counter or timer blocks? ways to open links inline? what else??

can anyone guess what's cookin??? 👀

celine@cozylittle.house

Hmm? What's that? @leaflet.pub is launching a project that needs all new branding and a fresh new vibe??? gosh how DARE you threaten me with a good time

We've since made some updates to our folding headers! It looks nicer, it saves where you've folded when you leave the page and come back! @awarm.space has been toiling away making leaflet good for outlining!!

Leaflet@leaflet.pub

New: folding headers in Leaflet docs! This one's for our notes app nerds…btw did you know Leaflet's great not only for blogs, but notes & shared docs too? We already had folding for lists; now h1/h2/h3 are foldable too! For docs, not published posts…but may help with organizing long drafts :)

bsky.app/profile/leaf... Here he is talking about it with ✨high production value✨

You might not have noticed, but leaflet has kick ass list handling, and you can use it as a pretty full featured outliner! Check out this demo :

Collaborative editing in Leaflet pairs really well with writing a big complex wiki with friends… #TTRPG gang are you out there???

celine@cozylittle.house

You can make subpages in leaflet, it’s amazing for making wiki style things it’s amazing and one of our most defining features 😭😭😭 Type “/“ in a new line and scroll to new page from the resulting block menu

Leaflet does support subscriptions!! We are rolling it out on the slower side but increasing confidence 👀 DM us and we will turn in on for you! We’re using Stripe, it’s a feature available to everyone, not just paid Pro users AND we charge less than Substack (5% + processing fees)

Since Tapas is going kaput, I'm just saying if you want a backup host (particularly for your short comics), you could consider using @leaflet.pub This is a demo site I made with it, and I put up 2 short comics to show how it works testcomic.leaflet.pub #comics
