IndieConnector and standard.site

I was just about to stop my feature freeze and include standard.site in the IndieConnector. Almost.

Over the past few days, I've been coming across standard.site quite often. I think the idea is pretty good and believe there's a lot more to come, which is why I've been reading up on it a bit.

I have to admit that I was initially quite skeptical about the whole Bluesky thing. For a long time, it wasn't clear whether Bluesky would remain a silo. However, many new tools and standards are slowly emerging that build on the at-proto framework, independent of Bluesky.

Standard.site is such a scheme (?)

Anyway, it allows you to link your own blog to the at-Universe, or ATmosphere, as I believe it's officially called. I find this very interesting and believe that the [[/kirby/indieConnector|IndieConnector plugin]] is exactly the right place for an implementation for [[/kirby|Kirby]].

I was almost tempted to include this as a new feature before [[/blog/2026/planning-indieconnector-3|Version 3]], simply because I wanted to experiment with it on my site. But then I stopped myself and added it to the list of new v3 features.

Perhaps there will be a bit more reading material and experience to share before implementation begins. I've already found a few good posts:
