Heron
This Heron helps you connect wherever you are in the ATmosphere ๐
Heron
This week's Heron release is largely performance improvements and big fixes, however you can now directly go from your profile to @leaflet.pub or @pckt.blog to write something new!

Do you host a PDS? Do you wanna make it easier for users tool sign into it if they use Heron?
If yes, please drop me a line to the URL for your PDS and an SVG for your app's icon if possible. I'd love to have you on!
This is the best part! The next step is to send push notifications to users of a subscribed publication bc it can just piggy back off the firehose. No matter where you choose to write, you can always have your audience.
It's the promise of Atproto for writing.
This is cool!
I just tried this out and it worked on my second try. It got stuck before importing the first time so I just refreshed and retried.
Anyway, to the lay person it may not be clear what's happening or what this does, so let's go over exactly what's going on.

I already felt guilty for not using leaflet more and now my main client is guilt tripping me about it ๐คฃ looking forward to it!
also @heron.tunji.dev for android just launched a longform/blog tab that loads posts from @standard.site from the same profiles
