Hello atmosphere ! Over the last few weeks, a bunch of us have been collaborating on a new set of lexicons for publishing, indexing, and building out social features across long-form reading and writing apps ! 🧵1/7

Hello Standard.site ! Please make my day and tell me that there is a repository somewhere with these definitions? ( I'll take @tangled.org or @github.com ) I've been generating a page for known lexicons, and want to make it a Standard.Site.

So, the lexicons themselves aren't on there. That repository is just the tooling to generate them. You can view them here though: lexicon.garden/identity/@st...

Digging into the lexicons for a second: 1. I think "title" is too short. 2. I think themes could/should grow 3. I think a separated spec for colors is unneeded / potentially problematic (would rather store as hex/css colors than rgb) 4. I think you need more lexicons 😉

Thanks! Open to changes / additions, discussing some now (e.g. 'author' lexicon). Can you make a top-level post with further ideas & tag @standard.site for visibility? FYI intention for theme is very minimal, just enough for interop (e.g. global discovery), expect apps to do their own as well

Aha lexicon garden ftw! Good call, will see if we can add em there directly :)

Yeah Lexicon Garden is a handy site. And/also, lexicon "self-discovery" should totally be a thing. Like I would possibly kill for a single standard endpoint on xrpc that outputted the lexicons for that site. Which brings up another standard.site idea... standard.site.service/endpoint ... ?
