• Added a preview of the prorated subscription price when upgrading on the Plans page. Consider upgrading today! 🙂

  • Fixed counting some emoji in new web editor.

  • Added new Preview button for themes in the plug-in directory. This will create a special preview version of your blog to try out the theme. Also improved the tab bar and navigation around plug-ins.

  • Fixed categories and cross-posting services checkboxes in dark mode.

  • Added showing cross-posting services checkboxes when editing a post.

  • Fixed the crashing but on Android when starting a new post. Update to version 2.2.1 on Google Play.

  • Added Threads cross-posting for everyone. Check out the details in Manton’s announcement blog post.

  • Fixed profile menu background color in Safari on iOS 18 so that it’s more readable. Apple changed something and the blur was no longer working.

  • Fixed a new issue where the publishing status would be stuck after saving a draft blog post.

  • Improved web sidebar to not scroll with the content.

  • We’ve added an extra step to confirming someone’s email address when they sign up for your email newsletter. It’s still a very easy sign-up, no captcha nonsense, but the extra prompt helps us make it harder for bots to interfere.

  • Strata for iOS has been updated to version 1.1, adding support for scanning the QR code for Micro.blog notes on the web or macOS. This helps get the secret key set across platforms.

  • Reminder that we are having some planned downtime for a major server upgrade tonight, 10pm central time. Originally posted as 3pm GMT, it’s actually 3am the next day. Your hosted blogs will remain up.

  • Added new “finished publishing post” pane on the web with a link to your latest post when it’s ready to view.

  • Fixed sometimes including an inline link twice in cross-posting to Mastodon and LinkedIn.

  • Improved uploads page and search to use smaller photo thumbnails when available, and related tweaks. This is also available to Hugo themes as documented in this post in the help center.

  • Interested in testing the next version of Micro.blog for iOS? We are starting up the beta again. Only under-the-hood changes in this initial release of version 3.3, but there will be other fixes and tweaks coming. You can join via TestFlight here.

  • Fixed some issues with caching blog files after a post or blog was deleted. The “Rebuild” button on the logs page should also be more reliable now.

  • Improved speed of updating a draft blog post for blogs that have lots of posts. Should be extremely fast now in all cases.

  • Improved the styling on the Sources page to be more readable when you have multiple feeds.

  • We’re starting to include a standard email header in newsletters to indicate that the email is from a mailing list. Some email clients such as Apple Mail will show a special “Unsubscribe” banner at the top of those emails to your newsletter subscribers.

  • Added an unsubscribe link to the top of newsletter emails to make it easier to find. If you want to change this, you can edit your email newsletter HTML to include the link anywhere.

  • Updated the AI-generated text and keywords for images to support PNG and WebP formats in addition to JPEG. Now works for screenshots that are often PNGs.
