Making a slow start to themes for shoutouts.lol 😋 My idea is to be able to use any theme by adding an extra parameter to the embed. You'll also be able to create as many as you want, to fit your needs, and as a stretch goal, the ability to share them with others.
A few minor tweaks to shoutouts.lol this evening:
If you’re using Gluon, and like TestFlight builds, because you like to live on the bleeding edge (yes, like bleed air), then look no further.
Latest release is out, and contains… no more ads. They’re gone. Oh and some behind the scenes stuff.
More to come. Slowly.
Super early preview... of the share extension for Micro.blog. Nothing there yet. But glad I have it set up with React Native and working (data comes through nicely – which you can't see 😋). Now the real work begins.
Nice that it's like a mini-app.
Been working on re-adding the ability to upload images or files to the Upload screen for the new Micro.blog app. Here is a quick demo. Most likely will make an appearance next week.
Alrighty, in addition to showing upload progress in the MB app, I managed to add the ability to cancel an ongoing upload (which the button clearly states, but didn't do 🤣).
Great for when things are slow and you decide to get on with... your day and go outside 😋😘
Working on adding the ability to add uploads on the Upload screen, however as I started, I was thinking... "wouldn't it be nice if there was some sort of upload progress when picking an image on the post screen".
Upload management is getting closer in the Micro.blog iOS & Android app. It handles images, videos and audio files. You can single tap to copy the URL, or long-press to grab HTML. Will probably add a context menu though, so it's similar to right click found in the Mac App.
Happy though.
Next up for the Micro.blog app, the Uploads screen. Still some tweaking to do and a few things to figure out. Tempted to add a + button to the top right, so you can upload more...
This is totally how I use the Micro.blog app... in the simulator 🤣✌️
I updated the homepage on shoutouts.lol a little. Tweaked the header to display a random underlined word and also an image of what embeds could look like. Not great at generating images in Sketch, so will tweak – probably should add more variety and less frogs 😅
Made a slow start on adding Pages and Uploads to the Micro.blog app. Pages is up first, so you can edit all your pages. Using the same icon as per website for now.
Similar flow as per Posts, thanks to Micropub.
Spent an evening not on project code (which I wanted), but instead trying to generate a computer aided, and generated, image for said project… the one I bought the domain name for the other day.
Got a few nice ones.
Micro.blog for web should be back as normal, and the official apps should also be serving images as usual. The CDN SSL cert ran out, so I disabled it for now, until Manton is back (who has AWS access) to renew it.
There wasn't any downtime, just things looked a bit more Web 1.0, without images and styles 😋✌️
Howdy Micro.blog folks. There is an SSL issue with the CDN we're using (I suspect it ran out and was not renewed). This affects the web app, and images that are served on the timeline (shouldn't affect hosted blogs).
Sublime Ads now includes a 42 day free trial (yes!) and also has all features enabled, so there is no need to add your details before unlocking other features during the trial.
I recognise the fact that you want to implement this in your apps or sites. Should be enough time.
Just testing it all wraps...
Been working on the posts screen for the MB app. Still some bigger work to do of course, but glad it's rendering in a way I want (sort of). Kinda fun to work on, so check out the develop branch commits so you can pull out your hair on how I do things.
Last week I changed the initial Dashboard that is shown in Sublime Ads... think it looks better with the tiles. Might explore this further and add Clients to it too.
Hello dear users of Gluon on iOS. I am happy to report that version 2023.1 is now released. There's a lot in this update, so head on over to the abbreviated release notes on the Gluon website.
Thank you to all ✌️❤️ Happy updating.
Gluon 2023.1 on iOS: "Pending Developer Release"
Ah damn, wanted to ship a few Artificially COMPUTER GENERATED icons for Gluon... like these ones:
"Waiting for Review". Goodnight peeps. Glad I finally pushed that button. Too long of a beta.
I've added the ability to reset and remove your extra Gluon based profile data. That'll reset it and also remove the data from edge storage. Should be up in the next TestFlight.
Decided on the new pricing plans for Sublime Ads. They are the same, except the highest one... which is now $27/month instead of $39.
Current line up (Pay what you want):
Should appeal to indie developers near and far ✌️❤️
