Happy December everyone!

‘Tis the season for sharing your best finds 🤓📚☕❄

To celebrate the end of the year and get our holiday reading lists in shape, we're inviting you to make a “💎 Top picks of 2025” list on [Semble.so](http://Semble.so)  with books, articles, videos, tools, or anything worth passing on!

We’ll feature your picks in a special end-of-year “💎 Gems of 2025” feed on Semble. To get started, just login to Semble and follow the directions on the [Home screen](https://semble.so/home) to create your list or view others:

Or see our [Bluesky post](https://bsky.app/profile/cosmik.network/post/3ma34ln4jl22y) for more details.

### **New feature: Notifications!**

We added basic notifications, to help spread good attention sharing karma ✨

When someone collects a card via your card, you will now receive a notification:

#### **Provenance Field in Lexicons**

Part of these notifications is tracking where someone saved a card from, so we've updating our lexicons to include a provenance section with a `via` field which is a strong ref to the original card record. [Here's](https://pdsls.dev/at://did:plc:6z5botgrc5vekq7j26xnvawq/network.cosmik.card/3m7r3yotqam2l#record) an example of what this looks like:

    {
      "type": "URL",
      "$type": "network.cosmik.card",
      "content": {
        "url": "<https://lab.leaflet.pub/3m7py65pswk2e>",
        "$type": "network.cosmik.card#urlContent",
        "metadata": {
          "type": "link",
          "$type": "network.cosmik.card#urlMetadata",
          "title": "Atmospheric @-mentions! - Leaflet Lab Notes",
          "imageUrl": "<https://leaflet.pub/lish/did%253Aplc%253Abtxrwcaeyodrap5mnjw2fvmz/3lppk75kw7k26/3m7py65pswk2e/opengraph-image?6815eb61f733905a>",
          "description": "Lab Notes 017: mention Bluesky accounts, Leaflet publications, specific posts and more to come — an interface for links across the atmosphere",
          "retrievedAt": "2025-12-12T03:02:17.305Z"
        }
      },
      "createdAt": "2025-12-12T03:02:17.305Z",
      "provenance": {
        "via": {
          "cid": "bafyreigyya3ofkpxtpqhqtqlcny3vyvcaqfpfnzn4pikk6elt2ckvx5qcq",
          "uri": "at://did:plc:rtf3bjc3w2yn4syxtm4r7jt2/network.cosmik.card/3m7q5sjs2gs2d"
        },
        "$type": "network.cosmik.defs#provenance"
      }
    }
    

If you include this field, the author of the referring card will get a notification that you saved their card. We’ll update the Semble PDS Client to include this field soon.

### **Recent Collections**

Some of you have asked for this - when you add a new card you will now see your recent collections in the “Add to collections” section:

### **Community highlights**

*   [@](https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:mdjhvva6vlrswsj26cftjttd)[laurenshof.online](http://laurenshof.online) created the latest ATmosphere Report with a curated collection of interesting atproto articles from November. What's cool about this is that the curated links are now on-protocol as a Semble collection, with a custom page that lets you view them alongside ATmosphere mentions, on Semble, Leaflet and Bluesky. Check it out at [https://traverse.connectedplaces.online/](https://traverse.connectedplaces.online/)!

*   [@](https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:rtf3bjc3w2yn4syxtm4r7jt2)[ronentk.me](http://ronentk.me) vibe-coded a proof-of-concept Notion → Semble integration using our PDS client! We’re very excited by the idea of Semble as a protocolized social layer for personal knowledge tools, and AI code assistants make these bespoke indie integrations so much easier.

    I created a basic Notion → semble.so integration! Using our PDS client. Right now it's just a POC, still needs auth & support for collections.
