Thanks for your continued support of Seams, we look forward to building wisdom with you :)

We've also set up time to talk with @cosmik.network about how best to do integration between Seams and @semble.so

Once we clear through the existing bugs we can work towards new features! This will include backfill and indexing @margin.at annotations. As well as annotating PDFs.

Sealight Labs @sealight.xyz · 15/01/2026

Now we're finally in a place where we can tackle the long list of bugs we've accumulated on Tangled! This will include the source code, a WorkingGroup for the annotation lexicon.

We worked hard to ensure backwards compatibility, so you shouldn't have to change your workflows, whether PWA or iOS shortcut :)

Good news, our proxy should be A LOT more stable now! If you experienced problems with it before, they should be fixed! This includes being able to annotate on client heavy javascript pages like Github and Bluesky! :0

We've been hard at work again making things better on Seams.so! We rebuild our server proxy to be based on wabac.js by @webrecorder.net , making it entirely client side, and much more resilient! Hoping to ship it tomorrow.

Here you go discord.gg/APkJ9BT6mk This one shouldn't expire! :)

Thanks for being patient and showing continued interest in Seams. We know change has been slow since launch, and bugs a-plenty. We want to grow our collective knowledge and that means using the tool you're most comfortable with, and having them all interop!

Sealight Labs @sealight.xyz · 12/01/2026

Of course would be remiss to mention our new friends @margin.at making a very similar application! Super excited to see where Margin goes and looking forward to trying their app! It certainly kicked our butts into gear!

We've also been getting more official as a lab! Expect a landing page, a real logo, and much more information about us and our tools :)

Started putting together a working group to agree on a lexicon for annotations we can all steward at lexicon.community. Feeling bad about squatting that NSID without going through the proper channels 😅

lexicon.community

lexicon.community has 7 repositories available. Follow their code on GitHub.

Signal (@hylst.73), discord (@hyl.st), matrix and bsky DMs are all amenable to us :)

Would love to talk more about interop, and how we can share lexicons! :) Community.lexicon is also modeled after the W3C Web Annotation Standard. Gonna move PRing it to the top of todo. @hyl.st published a preview, but we have simplified it a bit since then, though the structure remains the same.

Yes, certainly planning to publish such a PR! It's been on our agenda for ages 😅

Sealight Labs @sealight.xyz · 09/12/2025

Yeah, we noticed this as well. Under the hood, we're using pywb by @webrecorder.net as the rewriting proxy, and it works very well, but there are still some misses. We'll try and contribute fixes and get them upstream'd :)

Oooh! I see, seems like clicking the button clears the selection state. Will need to look into that further.

Neat idea! A kind of unfurling, and then indexing comments in bsky and showing them in Seams.

Appreciate the bug reports! Created tracking issues for both of these: - tangled.org/@sealight.xy... - tangled.org/@sealight.xy...

fix: Annotation lost on login #23

If you start creating an annotation and haven't logged in yet, the login flow will lose your annotation.

Sealight Labs @sealight.xyz · 08/12/2025

We absolutely plan to integrate more deeply with @leaflet.pub, and are experimenting with their comments lexicon for usage across our application as well! Excited in particular about being a "primitive", and wondering whether surfacing comments in Seams in particular is the best path forward.

We also have a Discord server, come hang out, talk about articles you've loved, annotations you've made, and things you'd like to see in Seams. Community is at the heart of Seams, and we hope to steward a community that makes Scenius' of us all.

We're collecting bugs in Tangled, and by golly, there's still a bunch of them. We're also interested in building our future roadmap with y'all! There's a lot of places we can take this application, and we'd love to hear your ideas. The source will also be published here soon.

Social Annotations in the Atmosphere

Sealight Labs @sealight.xyz · 08/12/2025

Today, we're opening up Seams Alpha (seams.so), a social web annotation built in the Atmosphere. We're hoping it helps with collective sense-making. This is just the start, there's still lots to do! We'd love if you tried it with us.
