GreenGale is now back online for most users after a Bluesky outage that affected our services.

GreenGale is introducing a Cloud background texture. This joins the original graph paper grid and the floral texture background options. Select it for your blog post, publication, or site-wide. Animated clouds float through a gentle gradient derived from your theme selection. ☁️

GreenGale is introducing a new floral tiling background texture. This joins the original graph paper grid as an available texture option. Select it for your blog post, publication, or site-wide. A split-complementary color palette in OKLCH color space is derived to go with your selected theme. 🌸🌼

GreenGale now supports the Bluesky bot tag, displaying a cute little robot icon next to applicable user handles, and incorporating this tag into the search result filter by AI agent status.

Oh no! Glad you were able to recover it, but this is definitely a bug I'll get fixed asap.

GreenGale @greengale.app · 25/02/2026

Got it, thanks. We'll add this endpoint.

010

GreenGale @greengale.app · 20/02/2026

The external post panel from the search results is now also shown when clicking cards on the homepage for quick access to previews. Also refined with better animations and proper paragraph breaks.

GreenGale @greengale.app · 12/02/2026

I'm glad you like GreenGale, correction though: GreenGale works as a frontend for WhiteWind blogs, but Leaflet does not. Leaflet uses Standard Site, which is a newer set of lexicons used by several different apps.

The source is @labeler.hailey.at, with labels applied voluntarily by users, so they are not guaranteed to be comprehensive. Thanks to @hailey.at and @penny.hailey.at for their work on the labels 🙏

GreenGale @greengale.app · 11/02/2026

🔎🤖 GreenGale search now features an 'AI Agent' filter. Choose an option to narrow down results from accounts with or without that label.

📗 New profile page features: Set a custom icon (Bluesky avatar used a fallback), show/hide your Bluesky bio as a fallback description, choose which of your Standard Site publications to show on your profile, pin up to four blog posts (native or external), and link your @blento.app page 🍱

GreenGale @greengale.app · 06/02/2026

Sorry about this! we made a few changes to the homepage feed UI recently. What browser are you on, and is it consistent after a refresh?

GreenGale @greengale.app · 03/02/2026

The embedding model is BGE-M3, with Cloudflare Vectorize for the DB.

🔎 GreenGale is introducing a new semantic + keyword search algorithm that indexes itself, WhiteWind, and Standard Site documents and publications. Try it out: greengale.app

GreenGale now supports RSS. Subscribe to a user's blog with the RSS link on their author page (or just append /rss to their GreenGale profile URL). This feed includes WhiteWind and GreenGale posts from that user.

GreenGale @greengale.app · 02/02/2026

RSS feeds are on the roadmap, stay tuned :)

GreenGale @greengale.app · 01/02/2026

No problem, sorry about the broken login! Appreciate the bug reports.

010

GreenGale @greengale.app · 01/02/2026

Login should be working in Firefox now. As for the 400, it's looking for publication preferences in your publication record which doesn't exist yet, but this won't functionally affect anything.

110

GreenGale @greengale.app · 01/02/2026

Thanks for raising this issue. I've just deployed a fix, you can try again.

GreenGale @greengale.app · 31/01/2026

If anyone is still having issues scraping from GreenGale with automated tools, don't hesitate to let us know. The prerendered versions of blog posts should be served to known bots and datacenter IPs. @exaai.bsky.social's `get_contents` is now working with much higher reliability than before.

GreenGale @greengale.app · 31/01/2026

On the subway? In the wilderness? Infrastructure outage? Continue to blog about it on GreenGale with the offline draft editor. Enabled by default, just open the app and hit 'New Post'. Regardless of connection status, your writing will be saved locally until you publish online.

GreenGale @greengale.app · 31/01/2026

GreenGale is available as a PWA on desktop and mobile devices. Install it from the button at the right of the address bar in Chrome (desktop), or using the three-dot menu → 'Add to Homescreen' on Chrome (Android), or 'Share' → 'Add to Homescreen' on Safari (iOS).

GreenGale @greengale.app · 29/01/2026

Could you give it one more try? I've been watching the logs, and added a couple more steps to detect Exa requests which have `cf-connecting-o2o` indicating that it's proxied through another Cloudflare origin, as well as browser UA's with JS detection not passed.

110

GreenGale @greengale.app · 29/01/2026

Anyway, I've just added some datacenter detection that should identify when a request is coming from a known datacenter IP, and serve the prerendered version. It's a process of just adding datacenter ASNs as needed, but I've had increased success with Exa.

210

GreenGale @greengale.app · 29/01/2026

I've been troubleshooting this; what tool are you using under the hood? There is a prerendered html endpoint that's served to bots, but I've had a lot of trouble with a few crawlers including Exa because they try very hard to pretend to be humans using Chrome, and just get a minimal placeholder.

GreenGale @greengale.app · 27/01/2026

The GreenGale homepage now features a 'Following' tab when logged in, showing a reverse-chronological feed of all Standard Site, GreenGale, and WhiteWind posts from accounts you follow on Bluesky.

GreenGale @greengale.app · 24/01/2026

The spec and the validator are still relatively early, but the .well-known endpoint does exist, it just doesn't use a separate root domain per blog. If you want to see yours: greengale.app/youronly.one...

greengale.app

https://greengale.app/youronly.one/.well-known/site.standard.publication

at://did:plc:bpotnohnlgcj3fbmp7ugx4en/site.standard.publication/3mc3hctrn6ca2

110

GreenGale @greengale.app · 24/01/2026

Yeah, I noticed that as well. This is because the validator expects the .well-known endpoint to exist for the root of a domain, e.g. `example.greengale.app`. GreenGale uses path-based routing with user handles for the publication, e.g. `greengale.app/example.user`.

210

GreenGale @greengale.app · 24/01/2026

This is great news from Leaflet. greengale.app features: browse and search Leaflet posts, and see unified user profiles including Atmosphere long-form posts from WhiteWind, GreenGale, and other Standard Site-compatible platforms using their handle, e.g. `greengale.app/user.handle`.

GreenGale @greengale.app · 22/01/2026

GreenGale now fully supports Bluesky embeds within WhiteWind posts, including images. Enjoy cross-platform continuity with dual lexicon support.

GreenGale @greengale.app · 22/01/2026

🟢 New in GreenGale this week: fixed some broken records, added voice themes, masonry layout for cards on home and author pages, auto-save drafts, image paste support, various performance improvements, and a new loading indicator. Stay tuned for the fun part: user and developer documentation.

QOL feature: drafts are auto-saved to local storage as you write. If you accidentally navigate away, close the tab, or your laptop dies, this safeguard will restore your progress after you reopen the editor.

In addition to visual themes, you can now set a voice theme for your blog. Choose from the available voices, tweak the pitch and speed, and readers using TTS will hear your blog in your chosen voice.

GreenGale @greengale.app · 20/01/2026

New feature: add tags to your posts on GreenGale. Tags will enable you to view other posts with that tag, search for posts by tag, and are written to standard.site records for discoverability in the growing ecosystem. No '#' required. #tag

Interoperability update: you can now select "Enable standard.site publishing" from your publication settings to enable creation of site.standard records whenever you create a GreenGale post. Also: check out the new "From the Network" tab on the homepage to see what people are publishing elsewhere.

Screenshot of the "Edit Publication" dialog from GreenGale. It shows various publication options, a theme picker, and an "Enable standard.site publishing" checkbox.

Happy New Year! GreenGale now generates a nice little image thumbnail with your OpenGraph previews, for posts that have images, when sharing on sites like Bluesky. Expect continued refinements and features in 2026.

020

GreenGale @greengale.app · 29/12/2025

GreenGale now renders linked Bluesky posts inline. This includes links, images, and image alt text that are part of the Bluesky post, and works with the TTS engine.

062

GreenGale @greengale.app · 27/12/2025

TTS is now working with GPU acceleration on Safari (desktop and mobile). Safari remains slower than Chrome, and iPhone or older Mac hardware struggles with the feature, but this is a step toward universal compatibility.

GreenGale @greengale.app · 27/12/2025

Secondary text colors for all theme presets have been tweaked for better contrast.

GreenGale @greengale.app · 27/12/2025

Additional fixes from this week: uploading an image now adds a placeholder reference to the post body and replaces it when encoding and uploading are complete, so you can continue editing immediately after dropping an image in your post without messing up the position of it.

100

GreenGale @greengale.app · 27/12/2025

New in GreenGale: the editor now features a toolbar (convenient for users who don't speak markdown as a first language), a split view that puts the editor and formatted preview side-by-side, and an improved image alt text flow.
