Thinking about this more: If the goal is to attract more writers I feel like linking to a document doesn’t do much unless that page also encourages it Looking at an example if I’m a first time user, I have no way of knowing that this page is on a Writing platform.

If you haven’t seen it yet the new @aworkinglibrary.com website is dope aworkinglibrary.com Lots of things to love. A few that stand out to me: - It's _fast_ - Every page has a “footer” that’s essentially just the home page — enthralled by this idea. - ❤️ the treatment for citations on post pag…

What the ephemerality of the Web means for your hyperlinks
Hyperlinks are a powerful tool for journalists and their readers. Diving deep into the context of an article is just a click away. But hyperlinks are a double-edged sword; for all of the internet’s boundlessness, what’s found on the Web can also be modified, moved, or entirely vanished. The fragility of the Web poses an […]
Vision and Reality of Hypertext and GUIs: 2.1.13 Microcosm @mprove
Microcosm (cf. 2.1.13) is a research project at the University of Southampton. Like Intermedia five years before, Microcosm is designed around the idea that material of diverse sources and formats should be tied together into one hypertext. To achieve this goal links have to be separated from the documents. They are stored and maintained in special link databases. In contrast to Intermedia, Microcosm plays the active role in gathering the necessary data out of the documents. For each topic it stores data on which documents contain information about it and also where inside the documents the information is located. This elaborated conception of links can be seen more as a kind of Memex’ trails than simple one-to-one links. Given this structure dynamic linking becomes possible. This means that links can be associated with generic text strings. Wherever this string shows up a link is placed automatically. This has the effect that documents that are imported for the first time into Microcosm can have links immediately.

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.
Bluesky
v1.122 is rolling out today, featuring a better way to discover and share articles, blog posts and newsletters across the Atmosphere via new, dynamic Standard.site link cards. 🧵
This is really exciting to see! I think some magical things can happen when we "free" our links from static pages and let them intermingle in a social knowledge medium like Semble.

@semble.so I'm experimenting with creating a Collection of links and resources that would normally be in the show notes of my podcast episode. Not sure it makes sense to include a guest's profile (i.e. university profile page or Bluesky profile) as a Card. What do you think?
