Leaflet update - v1 of Leaflet Publications!
Hi all! We've been focused on adding capabilities to Leaflet for social publishing — a way to make things like blogs and newsletters.
The first version is here — you can now make publications from Leaflet!
We're going for something like Medium or Substack, but more fun, more lightweight, more open, more…Leafletty. And we're building on Bluesky, which unlocks a lot of cool things as a social layer.
Read the first issue of our new Leaflet Lab Notes publication for more background and info on how it works.
To start, you can make publications and add posts. Lots more we want to add soon like subscribing by email, custom themes, paid memberships, and comments.
Give it a try from leaflet.pub/home — link to Bluesky, then make a new publication and add posts (not yet possible to add an existing Leaflet, but want to get that working soon).
Hit reply with any questions or ideas for what we should add next!

PS — if you're on GitHub, check out the Leaflet repo and give it a star — it’s open source!
