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.
GreenGale now supports Standard Site subscriptions. Subscribe to GreenGale blogs, and see posts from all your subscriptions across the network in the subscriptions feed on the homepage.
Oh no! Glad you were able to recover it, but this is definitely a bug I'll get fixed asap.
Got it, thanks. We'll add this endpoint.
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.
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 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 🍱
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?
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.
RSS feeds are on the roadmap, stay tuned :)
No problem, sorry about the broken login! Appreciate the bug reports.
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.
Thanks for raising this issue. I've just deployed a fix, you can try again.
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.
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 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).
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.
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.
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.
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.
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...
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`.
