Micro.blog is the brain child of Manton Reece. He contacted me in 2021 to help him work on it and bring my skills to it. Can’t wait to see what this relationship brings in the long term. I am forever grateful for the opportunity and hope to blog more about it here (as one of my own).

Hoping to open-source the Micro.blog App for iOS and Android soon. Then you can all cry how I code in Javascript 😋

And here is the HOMEPAGE of Micro.blog:

And yes, just for historical archives 😋😏

Just making some final adjustments to the new Micro.blog homepage. This is kinda the first phase of what we want to do, and we'll expand from what we have. I'm really happy with the way it looks.

Did someone say “marketing” website for Micro.blog? 🤷‍♂️😏

New update out to the Micro.blog Mac App. Manton has the details. Nice to see some of those timeline changes we made for the handheld apps come through, making it more consistent across platforms. Also, I really want to steal that icon for iOS now 😋

Who said the new Micro.blog app can't have settings? 😋

OK, Micro.blog app, come to daddy. Any on the side feature requests? Like small things to implement? Feeling generous.

Working on something new on Micro.blog and I wanted to take this opportunity to try out import maps and JS modules, because I want to avoid using any build tools. So far so good!

We're starting something new today. Can't wait to show you... next year when it's done. Also... I can't draw stars for the life of me.

Approaching 4AM. Yum. A bit of sleep and tomorrow I work on the Micro.blog app 😍

This graph tells you a lot of how absolutely smashing Linode is:

The spots with no graph line = no service.

They should get an award for the most unreliable service of this decade.

Ah, Wednesday morning. Micro.blog once again affected by our lovely hosting company. They're doing "emergency" maintenance work in the datacenter. All services might be affected by this. Will monitor.

Quick update on what is affected on MB:

  • The main Micro.blog web app, which includes app and third party access.
  • Hosted blogs might intermittently be down also.

All traffic is routed via Load Balancers, and they're having issues, so requests are not coming through 🤬😞

Hello Micro.blog gang... There are intermittent connection issues to Micro.blog this morning. This is an issue with our hosting provider... AGAIN. Nothing we can do except wait.

Ooo, I forgot I added a hidden feature to the latest beta for the Micro.blog app 😏🥸
