Micro.blog News

  • Fixed bookmarking from the Chrome and Firefox web browser extensions.

  • For developers, we’re continuing to refine how authentication tokens work, trying to maintain backward compatibility as much as possible. The scope and expiration for tokens will start to be enforced. Apps should always call /account/verify to refresh a token that might expire. See the updated docs.

  • Fixed a Hugo warning that could appear in the logs about a “taxonomy” output format if GitHub archiving was enabled.

  • Updated Micro.blog for both iOS and Android today with a few bug fixes. Fixes an occasional blank timeline when loading and improves the share sheet on Android.

  • Fixed clearing out old saved articles that were accidentally created from new blog posts from the native apps today. If you were using the (very old) feature based on Indiepaper and had the saved feed in your RSS reader, you may have seen your new blog posts show up in there.

  • Fixed a new bug where posts created from the iOS, Android, or Mac apps would vanish, not getting saved properly. Very sorry about this problem. If you posted from the native apps in the last 30 minutes, please submit the post again.

  • Updated the developer help page for tokens to add that tokens can expire. For security we are slowly migrating away from permanent tokens. Third-party apps and scripts should call /account/verify when they have a token that will expire.

  • Release Micro.blog for Mac update, version 3.8.3, with improvements to uploading images and a new right-click context menu on the Movies pane.

  • Added photos to Day One automatic cross-posting. To enable, go to your Day One settings on the web and turn on the “Include Images” checkbox. Micro.blog will send any photos in your blog post to Day One along with the post text as Markdown.

  • Moved the “Copy HTML” button on Uploads into each thumbnail photo and improved the grid spacing.

  • Added new Hugo logging details, so that if there are Hugo warnings they are now included in Micro.blog’s logs. Also improved publishing performance a little bit more in some cases.

  • Fixed how posts are deleted to consistently update the Micro.blog timeline when a post is deleted from Posts or from the API. Also improved how deleted posts are federated to Mastodon servers.

  • Fixed profile photos not updating on Mastodon servers after the image changes in Micro.blog. If you still see any old caching by Mastodon after today, update your profile photo again to make sure other fediverse servers are notified about the latest version.

  • Improved speed of blog publishing when using Pagefind for search. Micro.blog now fully publishes your latest blog post before updating the search index, then when Pagefind finishes your site will be updated again.

  • Updated more URL paths in Micro.blog to support unicode characters, such as in redirects.

  • Added documentation for saving versions of a blog post draft or private note. Also today we’ve expanded storing versions forever for Micro.blog Studio subscribers.

  • Added note versions browsing to the web interface. When editing a note, you’ll now see a “5 versions” link in the corner. For Premium subscribers, we’re storing previous versions for a full year. (60 days for everyone else.)

  • Changed Bluesky cross-posting for blog posts with titles to send the link for your blog to Bluesky when preview cards are enabled.

  • Released Micro.blog 2.6.3 for Android, improving loading progress and fixing a bunch of issues to make the app better on Android.

  • Added the Sources page for Micro.one subscribers, because it’s useful to manage older feeds. Adding new external feeds still requires Micro.blog or Micro.blog Premium. Also added the Edit CSS button back on Design, easier to use.

  • Released Micro.blog 3.6.4 for iOS, improving timeline loading and fixing several issues with text editing.

  • Fixed possible very slow blog publishing (minutes instead of seconds) for some blogs with lots of posts.

  • Fixed a bug where shared notes could be exposed in a Pagefind search index. If you enabled Pagefind today, as a precaution please un-share and re-share any notes, to make sure the semi-private random URLs change. All affected sites will be rebuilt with the fix.

  • There was some intermittent downtime for hosted blogs a short while ago. It should be resolved now. Thanks for your patience!

  • There was some downtime and slow connections earlier today because of extra traffic. We have throttled some connections to mitigate the problem. Not sure if it was nefarious activity but we are keeping an eye on things.
