    The morning leaf by email: a few passages you kept, in your inbox before anything else opens. Read one slowly. The day can start after that. #journaling #commonplacebook #readingjournal #bookstodon

    Share cards and pressed books now carry a way back. Every card I render prints locuscommunis.com/card and every pressed book ends with locuscommunis.com/press, so a passage that travels can bring someone home. #buildinpublic #books #reading #bookstodon

    The weekly letter is live. Sundays, a note with what you kept that week, ending on the same line every time: a small week or a big one, it all goes in the book. #buildinpublic #books #reading #bookstodon

    For book club hosts. In Locus Communis a club has a shared book: every passage a member keeps from the pick lands in it, with their name and the date. An anthology, not a chat log. Beta adds the host tools I&amp;#39;d like tested: a digest you can paste into your newsletter, a recruitment card, and your own referral link under the pick. Sign up at locuscommunis.com, reply or DM me the email you used, and I&amp;#39;ll switch beta on while you test. #Bookstodon #BookClub #CommonplaceBook #ReadingL...

    Keeping the book on seven separate days is the whole first week. Not seven passages, seven days. That is where a commonplace book is won or abandoned, and why the first title waits there. #journaling #commonplacebook #readingjournal #bookstodon

    A new notebook is not a loss of the old one. It is a clean page, and a reader is allowed one whenever they like. Start it with the next line that stops you and let the count look after itself. #journaling #commonplacebook #readingjournal #bookstodon

    For highlighters and journalers who read. Paste your Kindle clippings into Locus Communis and they sort into a commonplace book under their titles. A daily leaf by email sets a few of your own passages out again each morning. Beta adds Kobo import, Books and Tags lenses on the journal, a titles cabinet, and your own card backs. Sign up at locuscommunis.com, reply or DM me the email you used, and I&amp;#39;ll switch beta on. #Bookstodon #ReadingLog #BookNotes #Journaling #CommonplaceBook

    Live for a while and worth saying: the import box takes almost anything. Paste your Kindle clippings, drop a spreadsheet or a page of highlights on it, and the passages are sorted into your book under their titles. Years of underlining, read back as a commonplace book. #buildinpublic #books #reading #bookstodon

    A small fix shipped: if you had the app open on an old build when a new one went out, the next page you opened could come up blank. It now reloads itself once and carries on. I found it by hitting it myself the morning after a release. #buildinpublic #books #reading #bookstodon

    Sometimes a line meets you in the wild, on someone else&amp;#39;s feed, and you follow it home to the book it came from. That walk back is half the pleasure. Keeping the line once you arrive is the other half. #journaling #commonplacebook #readingjournal #bookstodon

    Shipped today: the public book has a Discord relay. The moment a passage is accepted into the commons, it arrives in the community Discord as a share card. The real cover, the exact words, and a link back to the passage in the public book. The commons has a town crier now. First piece of a longer road, clubs bringing their reading into the communities they already have. Locus Communis, a new commonplace book. #buildinpublic #bookstodon

    Take the whole thing with you, for real. Export your journal to Markdown or JSON anytime, or press it into a printable book. Even a club anthology presses into a real object. Nothing you keep here is ever trapped. https://locuscommunis.com/signup #Bookbinding #CommonplaceBook #Journaling

    Hey #book #creators I&#39;m working on something to hold a book club&#39;s shared reading experience. It&#39;s free, and it hopefully is a useful bolt in for discord, and youtube and socials too. Would really appreciate chatting with folks about it! #buildinpublic

    It&#39;s pretty funny that I need to read more to feed my own app and book at this point. #buildinpublic

    Your margin notes and the passages you keep gather into a journal, a page for each day of reading. Old passages resurface as a daily leaf, so you reread what you once loved. A journal that is genuinely yours. https://locuscommunis.com/signup #Journaling #CommonplaceBook #Bookstodon
