Settling in, and looking aheadHey Bloggers ! A lot has happened since our last post. Which always seems to be the case... We've been hard at work crafting new features and refining existing ones. By the way, it was so nice to meet many of you at Atmosphere Conference ! Previously, we announced pckt.cafe, our very own Personal Data Server. We've already seen adoption by more than 10% of pckt bloggers, many of whom are stepping into the Atmosphere for the very first time. We also launched read.pckt.blog, which has become an essential tool for discovering and subscribing to blogs from the pckt community and across the wider Atmosphere, thanks to Standard.site. And finally, we added Photo Galleries, which have given bloggers a new way to share and express themselves visually on pckt. Since then, we've polished and unified many areas of the interface to create a smoother, more cohesive experience throughout pckt.blog. We've redesigned our landing page, drawing inspiration from our original while removing much of the noise. It's easier than ever to jump into writing, discover trending posts, or learn more about pckt right from the very first page. We've also introduced a variety of new features alongside these refinements: Our Supporter and Advocate plans now include custom domains and post analytics to keep track of top-performing posts. Media storage has been increased across the board. Blogs can now have tiled background images. Alt-text support has been improved for images and galleries. Dashboard search makes finding your posts fast and effortless. We've also continued to improve read.pckt.blog. An updated layout makes discovering new writers and posts across the Atmosphere even more enjoyable. We've added support for Recommends to help surface and promote posts, a Hot Posts section for trending articles, and keyboard navigation to make our reader easier to explore. Now that pckt's core features are settling in, we can begin to think about what's to come. How can we expand our social features, and make better connections in our community ? In what ways can we come together to make pckt feel more alive ? Blogging cafés are the first things that come to mind. Shared spaces where multiple blogs can contribute. They could link blogs to one another and give multiple authors a place to post side by side. An obvious social enhancement will be comments. We definitely want to add discussion tools to blog posts, but we're still working out the best way to implement them. Remember friend requests ? We'd like to think of pckt as a place to make new friends. In addition to subscribing to blogs, having a separate set of pckt friends could be something special. We are always thinking of ways to make pckt easier and more fun to use. Please float any ideas you may have our way on Bluesky . We'd love to hear from you. As always, thank you for being here. We can't wait to see where the future takes us. Keep on blogging, pckt

Building Our Corner of the Open Social Web: pckt.cafe and More
Building Our Corner of the Open Social Web: pckt.cafe and MoreJust over a month ago, we announced our integration with the Atmosphere and we're already beginning to see the numerous benefits this brings to pckt. AT Protocol integration has helped turn pckt into an even more lively community. With the ability to discover and subscribe to blogs from across the web on read.pckt.blog, and the opportunity for your own blog to be discovered on other readers like the Leaflet reader. Just this week, we've announced that pckt will be hosting a Personal Data Server for new users with pckt.cafe, allowing for access to tools and communities across the open social web, while bringing users better data portability and ownership. More details to follow. Your New Home Base: pckt.cafe Personal Data Server (PDS) Welcome to pckt.cafe ! It's the perfect internet hangout for writers, bloggers, and artists. When you sign up for pckt blog, you will get the opportunity to claim a username that's part of our pckt.cafe personal data server. That means you will get to choose a handle like @your-name-here.pckt.cafe which will be usable to sign in across the atmosphere for apps like Bluesky, Germ Network, Stream.place, and any place built with AT Protocol. Your pckt.cafe handle will act as your identity across the open social web. The data you create across the Atmosphere stays tied to your identity, hosted on our pds.pckt.cafe server. Your data belongs to you, and shouldn't be locked inside a single platform. Using an Everything Handle like @you.pckt.cafe gives you the freedom to control your data. Since your identity belongs to you, your data can be moved to another personal data server at any time, or even be moved to one that you own and operate yourself with minimal effort. The important takeaway is that your handle is your key. Your data moves with you ! Discovery Across the Web: read.pckt.blog Take a look at our new read page at read.pckt.blog. It's a great place to discover posts from writers here on pckt and from the broader Atmosphere. On the Local tab, you'll see posts from fellow writers in the pckt community. Switch to the All tab to explore posts from bloggers across the wider network. Any blog integrated with Standard.site will show here too, opening the door to even more voices and ideas. Check it out and see what's being written: Subscribe to any blog, no matter where the blog lives on the web, directly from the read page. New posts from your subscriptions will be displayed in the Subs tab, so you'll never miss a piece from your favorite bloggers. While we think our own reader is really great, we also want to shout out a few other awesome places from the community where your posts from pckt will also be discoverable: potatonet by let's you discover blogs across the network. Docs.surf by is a blast from the past with a Windows XP style index of blog posts on the open web. Pub-search by is a great way to search for pckt blog posts and more. New Ways to Express Yourself: Photo Galleries While we love a good text focused blog, we think your photos deserve a home too. We have brought a new gallery feature to pckt that will allow you to share beautiful collections of images right on your blog. When galleries are added to the very top of your blog, they will display front and center on your blog's home page. Just make sure to not have any text above your gallery. We think this can give your blog some great personality. Galleries can be included anywhere within your posts, so whether you've got a lot to say, or just want to share some pics, galleries will make a great addition to your posting capabilities. These galleries are a great addition to the tools already available in pckt blog to help visually tell your stories, and craft a distinct aesthetic for your blog. See pckt galleries in action: What's Next for pckt? pckt isn't just a blogging platform, or a Personal Data Server, or just a reader. We're building a creative home in the open social web. A place where your words and pictures can extend to many interconnected platforms, traveling beyond just one singular website. We are building a community of bloggers without walled gardens. This is our space on the web, and it belongs to all of us who are building it together. It has been amazing to see the support and encouragement we have already received from this community. Your energy makes us want to keep building and keep making pckt an even better place to write. Looking forward, there is a lot we are excited about. We'd love to explore things like a recommendation system to help readers find great posts, more social features like comments, and eventually deeper curation features, like custom feeds that let you shape your own reading experience. There's a hundred other things we would like to see going forward, and we're excited to keep pouring our hearts into this project, making it into the best blogging experience that we can. We're building this together, and the best ideas often come from the community itself, and how they adapt the platform to be used in ways we haven't yet anticipated. If you have ideas, feedback, or just want to say hello, mention us on Bluesky Until next time, pckt

But they use different format to store posts on my PDS... Can I safely convert them? Or maybe you guys (@pckt.blog, @leaflet.pub) will land on same format one day? =) But in some way this would make no sense as they will be just two frontends for the same product...
