Leaflet update - summer blog club & publication theming
Hi all, a quick update to share two new Leaflet Lab Notes!
First, we added theming for publications, similar to themes for docs, great for making each publication feel unique. Goes nicely with custom domains, which pubs now support too. Also working on adding some font options!
Celine wrote this post with some notes on our theming approach, and how we’ve addressed some of the design challenges:
Scheming on Theming! - Leaflet Lab Notes
Lab Notes 006: on theme design in Leaflet, and challenges in balancing freedom for self-expression with keeping things simple and fun to use, from visual hierarchy to optimal accent colors.
Let us know if you give this a try (reply here or tag us on Bluesky) — excited to see what you make!
Second, we're starting a summer blog club, making and sharing publications together.
We’d love to have you join, it’s pretty casual and really just about writing something ~weekly! Details here:
Let's write: join our summer blog club - Leaflet Lab Notes
Lab Notes 005: spinning up a loose collective to harness blog energy on Leaflet & play with publishing in conversation…join and write something new each week!
Oh and third — we've got a few other Lab Notes updates we didn't share here yet — on subscriptions, the tech stack we're using, and ideas on publication discovery.
We'd love to hear what you think of publications…and if you're game for the blog club, we look forward to reading your pubs!
As always hit reply with any thoughts or questions.
