Profile pages in Leaflet
Lab Notes 020: you now have a profile page on Leaflet, showing your bio, publications, posts, comments, and subscriptions!
e've added profile pages for Leaflet creators!
They show your Bluesky bio (and profile link), publications, posts, comments, and Leaflet subscriptions.
From a publication homepage, post byline, @-mention, or comment, hover over a username (e.g. @leaflet.pub!) to see a preview card, or click to view their full profile page. Here's ours:
preview of our Leaflet profile, showing bsky bio, publication, and tabs for posts / comments / subscriptions
⁂ ⁂ ⁂
If you have multiple publications, they'll show in a horizontally scrollable list. Before this we didn't have any easy way to see what a given person was publishing at all!
The url works with either your handle or DID, e.g. either of these:
A few other notes:
- bio inherits from Bluesky, not yet separately editable (is that something you'd like to see? let us know!)
- similarly, we don't have a way to "follow" people on Leaflet, just subscribe to publications; that may be something to explore down the line, a social graph distinct from Bluesky's
This makes our recent Atmospheric @-mentions! feature a lot more useful (note the styling tweaks for mentions, too!)
If we see someone mentioned in a Leaflet post, we don't just want to see their Bluesky profile, we want to see what they've been writing about too! Or if we see a thoughtful comment, now we can see what else they've been reading / talking about recently.
And so on :) Let us know what you think!
