Thanks again to all of our amazing BB users for reporting bugs and ideas for this app. 🙏 We've got some awesome things in store, so stay tuned! 📡

Last but not least is a new world layer for showing @lexicon.community events in the map view.

Use it to find and read about events around the globe or in your area.

We've got some sweet updates for beacon posts. Image uploads now work without having to post to Bluesky, and we've raised the upload limit up to 10. We've also increased the character limit for posts up to 2000, and added support for Markdown with the new @markpub.at lexicon.

You can now import check-ins from Foursquare/Swarm, Google, Yelp and various other geo formats. A lot of work went into making sure imports go smoothly, but would love your help testing this beta feature across all formats. You'll find this under Settings -> Import Data

The September BB update is live! This release is packed with improvements and new features, so let's get to it. We'll start with our most requested feature...

Writing up a new release thread that includes our most requested feature… 👀

Ah right on! I'm about to step out for a bit, but will look at this and hit you up in a DM to help diagnose

Ah good call. I noticed you have to contact them for a csv export. Let me see if I can get an example for what their data looks like.

@beaconbits.appAug 9, 2026, 4:16 PM

That’s a cool idea. Let me think of how to best implement that and make it easy to organize

@beaconbits.appAug 9, 2026, 3:13 PM

Happy to report we're almost wrapped on an importer for various check-in/map services. Main ones will be: - Swarm/Foursquare - Google Maps/Timeline - Yelp - Day One - GeoJSON Anything else we should add?

Since I’ve been using @beaconbits.app a lot, I’d probably put some time into GMaps export & import into BB shaped records. I don’t actually know if @montoulieu.dev has open sourced and/or implemented ingestion of records not created through BB

This world layer system piggybacks off the work that was done for the #ATmospherconf anomaly experience.

We’re looking for more ways to integrate world layers with other atmosphere apps, so stay tuned for more details.

Thanks again to our dope BB community! 🧡

We’ve got some cool new features landing in today’s BB update. We’ve added drafts to make it easier to check-in later so you can stay in the moment. We’re also adding our first world layer for @brickster.at. This layer allows you to post brickster creations to the map and view them in AR.

Check this post for good info on porting those over. The memories feature uses the location of an old image to create a post from the past. You'll find it under the Use Photo option in the quick menu.

@montoulieu.dev any documentation or advice on creating @beaconbits.app check-ins from an atmospheric ticket scan? đź‘€

We’re working on a few import options from other services. What platform are you importing from? For adding past check-ins, you can use the memories feature which lets you add beacons with past dates.
