Reminder: Live reporting now to Bluesky app

I have stopped putting my live reporting notes out to X/Twitter. I have successfully reported on 2 meetings with Bluesky and likely will continue that way for now.


One draw back is that I don't have a PDF summary of the thread for a single meeting. If I can figure that out, I'd like to bring it back. If someone knows of a tool that could do that for Bluesky, I am all ears.

Or if there is another app with threadlike features I'll consider that (except for @Threads, that was a failure for reporting purposes).

Ok, thanks to quick responses from the community, I do have a thread creator tool and an option to output the thread to a PDF. Slick! The meeting notes for the 3/4/26 Town Council meeting have already been updated with this.


Background on process: 
  • During the meeting, the thread of the live reporting happens
  • The next day, the Franklin TV video link is shared (assuming available) with a quick recap of the major items from the meeting
  • In a couple of days, the audio of the meeting is shared. Sooner if the audio is an exclusive (i.e. Board of Health, or other Town or School Cmte subcommittee meeting is not on the TV broadcast schedule)
  • The audio post will also include the quick recap and the TV link (if available)
  • Usually at the end of the week, the Meeting Notes archive is updated (https://www.franklinmatters.org/p/meeting-notes.html)
  • The meeting summary link is also included in the Franklin Matters Weekly edition prepared Saturday and emailed Sunday morning   https://www.franklinmattersweekly.org/
