Some awesome little tweaks coming to the post editor for the Micro.blog app soon. Specifically you can now open the "Uploads" section, grab any previously uploaded media and easily add it to the post, which includes videos and audio with ease. Still working on it, but it's pretty cool.

Micro.blog
Post short thoughts or long essays, share photos, all on your own blog. Micro.blog makes it easy, and provides a friendly community where you can share and engage with others.
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).

We're hoping to ship the next version of the Micro.blog app for Android this week also. This will bring it inline with iOS. Some exceptions, for now: Share Extension & syntax highlighting.
I am so happy we can work with React Native and work on one codebase ✌️❤️
If anyone is working on a Micro.blog app, theme and/or plugin, please let me know. I'm working on something "unofficial" over the next few weeks and want to... erm... preview something when it's ready.
Quick! Manton is traveling and I'm working on the Micro.blog iOS app. Anything you'd like me to look at that's a quick one to implement? 😋
Heading out for a walk, clear my head, then working on the Micro.blog app and finish cross-posting logic. Might pick up a beer and have it danger close to my laptop 😋
Currently working on cross-posting options on the Micro.blog app. Because we're cool and hip! 😋
We just shipped a new TestFlight version for the Micro.blog app. Notable changes:
- Improves caching of user profiles and should update more reliably
- Correctly handle upload locations when changing sites in "Uploads"
- Dynamic type change should now trigger a timeline reload on all screens
- and more...
Micro.blog is hopping along nicely again. Thanks for your patience. We fixed the troubled server.
Micro.blog should be back to serving the site without errors.
Errors occurred when the load balancer (the server that distributes traffic across different machines) picked the broken app/web server. Working on this one right now.
Hosted websites are not, and were not, affected ✌️
Sorry for intermittent connection issues to Micro.blog. Looking into it.
If it's worth anything: Timeline Sync on Micro.blog has been discussed at length for some time now internally, we know what needs doing to make it happen across the app, web and api at the same time. However it will take time. New app first. Go from there ✌️❤️
Next up, working on XML-RPC posting for the new Micro.blog app. That will transition to Micropub based sites too, which naturally will include IndieAuth.
Really happy to get the share extension into the new Micro.blog app. It's available now on Test Flight for iOS. The beauty is that we could re-use most of the code. Once we ship for iOS, I will also make this available for Android users. This release also fixes an issue with blank views ✌️
A quick video demonstrating the toolbar options in the Micro.blog Share Extension (for the 3.0 iOS Beta). Gonna be internally testing the extension this week and hope to get this out soon.
Good progress with the Micro.blog Share Extension on iOS today (for the new app). Still much to do!
