Today's Heron release expands standard site support significantly. A lot of the ideas in Alex's post below already existed in Heron, and now you can subscribe to standard site publications directly from the timeline! Check out the video to see Heron's integration 😊

we’re rolling out the first phase of the Bluesky + standard.site integration today! now, when you share an article from writing platforms that support standard.site (like @leaflet.pub, @pckt.blog, @offprint.app), you’ll notice the link card has more to it than a typical link card.

standard.site is a huge success as an atproto community lexicon, but there's some stuff we can improve, let's talk about it!

Standard.site - One schema. Every platform.
Standard.site provides shared lexicons for long-form publishing on AT Protocol. Making content easier to discover, index, and move across the ATmosphere.

Publishing on the Atmosphere with Standard.site
It's the summer of Standard.site and overwhelmingly, we've heard folks find the process complicated so Declan Chidlow is here to break the process down into something rather straightforward for you.
Introducing Sequoia: Publishing for the Open Web
Today I'm excited to release a new tool for the AT Protocol: Sequoia. This is a CLI tool that can take your existing self-hosted blog and publish it to the ATmosphere using Standard.site lexicons.



Forum Design Research
As some may have noticed there are efforts to improve the support forums on WordPress.org. In addition to the backend changes, this seems like a good time to make some design upgrades as well. To k…

Pssst! The first public beta for Heron is now available for the iOS on Test Flight! There are a few things to polish up like notifications, but if you want standard site integration, different viewing modes for media, or cool Heron inspired themes, give it a go! testflight.apple.com/join/8GxSwx1w
the general bsky userbase being a lil dismissive of the standard.site integration is a reminder that this whole atproto atmosphere ecosystem is a long game. not everyone will be on board, and that's ok! we'll be ready to welcome people into a decentralized social future as big social fades away :)
Building @skysquare.app, I’ve thought a lot about what the future of the @atproto.com ecosystem might look like, and I’m increasingly excited by the possibilities. Skysquare is a useful demonstration of something that feels much bigger than the application itself—the portability of the ATProto post.
Had fun adding support for @standard.site to my blog. The richer preview card on #bsky looks neat. Another benefit is, since all the entries now live in the #ATmosphere, all kinds of #ATProto apps can index and display them.

Putting this blog on ATProto with standard.site
