Integrating a journal editor into my website, July 21, 2026

I have made an atproto powered journal editor on my website. I can login with my @bmann.ca or @bmannconsulting.com accounts, and then have a very simple editor for making Bluesky-length microblog posts, with an optional link field.

It supports rich text that I input using Markdown. Realistically, this is only ever used for links. If I make a post that is over 300 characters, then it publishes it as a @standard.site article using @markpub.at. This is also how unthread.at is setup when I looked into it.

I’m pretty sure it counts the markdown plaintext of links in the count, so it’s slightly off.

It also uses the out-of-band tags field. By default, everything is tagged as “bmcjournal”, and integrated back into my site. So I can also use whatever tools I want as long as I use that tag. Deck.blue and Ouranos are two examples.
