Micro.blog News

  • For folks on the iOS TestFlight beta for Micro.blog, note that we are not currently maintaining it. It expires in 22 days and I recommend updating to the App Store version. The usual beta cycle is too slow now, and I’d prefer to push updates out to everyone right away.

  • Our servers were struggling today. I’m sorry for the intermittent downtime and slow responses. No effect on hosted blogs.

  • Micro.blog for iOS has been updated with a new scheduling feature, to set the date on a blog post. There’s a calendar on the options screen while editing, or tap and hold on the Posts list and choose “Schedule”.

  • Micro.blog 3.1.1 for Android has been released, adding a new post scheduling feature. Tap on the options button when writing a post, or tap and hold on a draft blog post and choose “Schedule”.

  • Released Micro.blog 4.3.1 for Mac, fixing pasting GIFs and a few other bugs.

  • Fixed book calendars to prefer using links to your blog post about finishing a book.

  • Fixed an issue with the new mostly-photos Sunlit timeline where some photos were not included.

  • Updated the now built-in SocialSpec plug-in to fall back to using your “about me” text if you don’t have an about page at /about. You can upgrade to the latest version on the Plug-ins page.

  • Improved the “Reduce hashtag clutter” setting on your account to hide hashtags in more posts, such as photo posts or unlinked hashtags.

  • We’ve updated the /posts/media API to accept an optional filter parameter that can be “photos” to limit results to posts that are likely to be photos. Good for filtering out screenshots and other things.

  • Epilogue 2.8 for Android has been released, improving the speed of showing a book and adding barcode scanning. iOS to follow soon when Apple approves it.
