Leaflet.pub Introduction#
What is Leaflet.pub?#
Leaflet.pub is a decentralized publishing platform built on the AT Protocol (the same protocol that powers BlueSky). It allows you to publish long-form content as structured documents while maintaining ownership and control of your data through decentralized identity.
AT Protocol and Decentralized Publishing#
AT Protocol provides:
Portable Identity: Your identity (DID) is separate from any single service. You own your content and can move it between providers.
Verifiable Data: All documents are content-addressed and cryptographically signed, ensuring authenticity and preventing tampering.
Interoperability: Content published to leaflet.pub can be discovered and consumed by any AT Protocol-compatible client.
Decentralized Storage: Data is stored in personal data repositories (PDSs) under your control, not locked in a proprietary platform.
How Noteleaf Integrates with Leaflet#
Noteleaf can act as a leaflet.pub client, allowing you to:
- Authenticate with your BlueSky/AT Protocol identity
- Pull existing documents from leaflet.pub into local notes
- Publish local notes as new leaflet documents
- Update previously published documents with changes
- Manage drafts and published content from the command line
This integration lets you write locally in markdown, manage content alongside tasks and research notes, and publish to a decentralized platform when ready.
