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).
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 🤣✌️
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.
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).
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.
Adding a few more push notification options to the Micro.blog app, allowing you to toggle if you want to enable them on a per account basis. By default they are on, but you can pop in over to settings if you wanted. (Not yet released).
OK, Android is building again for Micro.blog. Funny enough, the last time it built without issue was back in January, and then I upgraded React Native on iOS. Oh well. Should have seen that coming. There were a lot of changes to config files that I had to manually comb through...
🥳 Patience and persistence is the key. Micro.blog app for Android building again.
Kiddo finally in bed. Tea is ready. Time to fix the Micro.blog app for Android.
As a funny aside, Google emailed a week or so ago saying there are issues that we should look at… and that they “might” remove the app. And so they did.
And this is why I want direct downloads. So no big tech child can do what they want.
Imagine if they could also stop a website…
