Atmospheric @-mentions!
Lab Notes 017: mention Bluesky accounts, Leaflet publications, specific posts and more to come — an interface for links across the atmosphere
eaflet now has mentions — an interface for linking across the atmosphere! Right now you can mention:
- Bluesky accounts
- Leaflet publications + posts
Type @ and search; hit tab on a pub to scope search to its posts.
You can even add mentions in comments!
⁂ ⁂ ⁂
Mentions look like this:
- mention Bluesky accounts like @leaflet.pub or @schlage.town
- mention publications like Leaflet Lab Notes
- mention posts like Opening the lab doors
If you really want to go wild you can mention all kinds of things in the same post:
Maybe don't go too wild; everyone mentioned will be notified!
⁂ ⁂ ⁂
Yes, we support notifications for when you're mentioned, too.
If you have a Leaflet account you'll get a notification when you're mentioned in a Leaflet post/comment, or when a post/publication of yours is mentioned.
Notifications are in-app for now, on your homepage. We'd like to add other notification channels soon as well!
⁂ ⁂ ⁂
We're starting simple with Leaflet posts/pubs and Bluesky profiles as mentionable. But we plan to extend to other atmospheric entities where this makes sense!
Tangled repos and Semble collections, for example, maybe even with similar scoping mechanism, e.g. search a repo to mention a specific file, or search a collection to mention a specific link…
Let us know any you'd most like to see! ✨🍃
