• Added new “OPML Sync…” button on Account for Inkwell users. This lets you set an external OPML file (for example from FeedLand or another feed platform) that Inkwell will automatically import feeds from. There’s also a new URL on that page to get your own subscriptions.

  • Inkwell 1.1 for Mac is now available, fixing bugs and adding a new podcast controls pane.

  • Some of the summaries in Inkwell’s Reading Recap today were a little awkward. We’ve corrected the issue for tomorrow and going forward.

  • Updated Epilogue for Android to version 2.1.1, bringing it in line with new books data source on the web, iOS, and macOS.

  • Updated Inkwell for Mac to version 1.0.2, fixing bugs and adding features like hovering over links, new Share and Print menu items, and other improvements.

  • To discourage spammers from using free Micro.blog accounts, the notes feature now requires a payment method during your trial.

  • Improved faster sync in Inkwell for the web.

  • Fixed missing posts for some feeds in Inkwell. This was particularly a problem for Six Colors.

  • Added new favicon and iOS home screen icon for the web version of Inkwell. Thanks Brad Ellis for designing the icon! It will be used in upcoming native apps as well.

  • Fixed a few syncing issues — duplicate posts, delayed refresh, and others — in our new feed reader, Inkwell. Also improved parsing of some RSS feeds.

  • Fixed some more issues with assigning books to bookshelves, publishing bookshelf changes, and updating reading goals.

  • Fixed an issue with cross-posting options not showing up or being used correctly for family and teams plans.

  • For RSS beta folks, I’ve rolled out improvements to the quoted text in Reading Recap. It wasn’t truncated well in certain cases.

  • Fixed a bug with potential malformed HTML tags when viewing deleted posts in the trash.

  • Fixed books search again on the web. If you have any issues with search in Epilogue, use the web for now until we update the mobile app.

  • Added new audio features on the web: attach an uploaded MP3 when writing a new post, and (for Micro.blog Studio subscribers) record and edit a new podcast episode directly from the new post page.

  • Fixed truncation problems when processing new posts in the timeline with special characters and styled text.

  • Sped up blog publishing for some blogs with lots of posts. We know this could be faster and will keep working on it.

  • Fixed new errors with books search on the web. We’re seeing unreliable results from the service that (partially) powers our books search. Added better fallbacks to Open Library.

  • Fixed new mentions RSS feeds to respect the recent privacy settings such as hiding your profile for signed out users.

  • Added new RSS and JSON feeds for mentions to a user. Unlike the API, this is a public feed so it can more easily be used in feed readers to check replies. Updated the feeds help page.

  • Fixed books search again, now using a different service for some of our book data.

  • There is an issue at one of our DNS providers, leading to problems for micro.blog subdomains like you.micro.blog. They are fixing the issue and we are monitoring it to see what we can do.
