In Which A Book Lexicon is Born
Hi everyone, We recently held a sync to discuss creating a shared book lexicon for the Atmosphere Protocol. I’ve shared the full recording (thanks Ronen!) and notes from the meeting here: Fathom with some early notes here: https://app.notion.com/p/Book-Lexicon-Session-1-211b2b43aabb8007b098d063972ca58c (also do we have a ATProto version of Notion yet?) The book logging social scene is highly fragmented. Dozens of Goodreads alternatives are competing but not interoperating, leading to a lack of...

Top links of the Atmosphere · frontpagefyi frontpage · Discussion #167
What if there was an alternative feed of links, which instead of listing manually added links, it listed the top 10 links on all of the Atmosphere in the last 48hrs? This would essentially be cross...

What could long-form writing sitting alongside posts look like?
Ghost uses webmentions to power recommendations
Just reading about how Ghost has implemented recommendations using webmentions Feels like something we could do pretty simply? use Semble to make a Collection select the collection in your Standard Site to be used for recommendations export/sync the Collection as recommendations.json (so Leaflet / Pckt / Offprint can build that into their hosted appviews) So I guess the need here is to settle on a lexicon for these recommendations? I sort of mixed in a flow that lets you use Semble to mana...

Skyreader update - standard.site feeds, read-it-later workflow, and sustainability - Skyreader Dev Log
Skyreader now supports standard.site feeds and adds full read-it-later features with highlighting, read progress, and inbox/archive management
README
This is a browser extension that provides “wormhole” navigation between different AT Protocol/Bluesky services inspired by Dame’s Shortcut. The extension transforms URLs and identifiers from one service to equivalent URLs on other services.
atproto idea (that’s also just a general want, but atproto-fied): basically browser.horse + unclutter.it with annotation and highlighting via margin.at, articles can be found via standard.site à la potatoes.app or via semble.so collections with a touch of alfread app design/goals/features
does a @semble.so <-> @lexidraw.app integration interest anyone 👀

Totally! Graph view will also be really useful for creating these, something we discussed in Vancouver @chrisshank.com @wesleyfinck.org @pouriade.com
@kagi.com And check out what @semble.so is doing with adding metadata between links. Useful for adding signals and context to search items. docs.cosmik.network/semble-api/c...

docs.cosmik.networkI can’t wait for academics to start using @semble.so more 🫶 been thinking i should bite the bullet and look at doing a zotero plugin to sync folders → semble but still torn bc i actually like jabref for metadata management more…but zotero is otherwise better and more used. sigh

Looking for some good readings for a graduate student who is interested in the philosophy and cognitive science of music #perception. Any recommendations—philosophical or otherwise? #PhilPerception #PhilQ
could hack the overleaf editor/backend with an alternative save function so it saves to PDS instead of github for example or pulls from something like @semble.so or @chive.pub instead of zotero for citations... actually the more I think about this, it actually sounds like a good idea
thank you for sharing, I’ve struggled with manually creating and updating graze feeds too. Some ideas: - I wonder if curated bookmarks from @semble.so or are.na could be used as positive labels. These tend to not carry social signals and purely signal interest.
This is cool, like a mix of blog / digital garden / link log… strikes me that this kind of thing would be *really* good on atproto! Could be a single doc (like a @leaflet.pub looseleaf) & e.g. a new subpage each week, embed links or @semble.so collections, ppl can comment, re-share when updated…

I just published my weekly reflections: docs.google.com/document/d/1xRiCqpy3LMAgEsHdX… Safe as paintball. Infinite focus. Context rot. The betrayal of dumb tools becoming smart. Builders vs coders. Fossilized data. Reclaiming your data. Cooperation as transcendence. The candid aim test. Social alchemy.
working on this today 😎. we chose veryyyyy different formats for storing information semble & margin make sense the direction they've chosen. you can organize links into multiple buckets, where on linkring there is a single link<>list relationship. should show up at the very least soon tho!
@margin.at @semble.so so @anisota.net has a lexicon for creating lists of posts, so you can curate posts into lists similar to how you can curate accounts into lists via bluesky's list lexicon wondering how this could better interoperate with margin / semble see: anisota.net/profile/dame.is/lists/posts/3…
Maybe we should do a joint call between semble, hardcover and maybe also @popfeed.social — I think there's some really neat data interop things we can do here for sure!
i feel like having rich event embeds/blocks and more cross-compatibility could go a long way. maybe a @semble.so collection that automatically compiles all standard.site publications that link to an event??
