-
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.
-
An early heads-up: we are planning a major server upgrade for October 1st, 10pm central time. While we hope to limit downtime, Micro.blog will be unavailable for a little while during the upgrade. Your blogs hosted on Micro.blog will remain online.
-
There were some behind-the-scenes improvements today, plus a couple small changes:
- When pasting a photo from the clipboard into the web editor (Firefox and Chrome only), now adds a placeholder “alt” attribute.
- Improved how posts with videos look on Bluesky.
-
Fixed some bounced emails and other errors from being forward to your account when using email newsletters.
-
Fixed an issue where custom Nostr relays were shown for all users (but not used except for the user who added them).
-
Added custom relays to our Nostr support. When enabled, you’ll see a Relays button on the Sources page to add relays just for you. Also added relay.nostr.net and relay.nos.social to the defaults.
-
Apologies for the downtime. We had a server failure at our hosting provider. Thanks for your patience! We’ll work on making this part of the platform more robust.
-
Added a Blog Settings link on Posts and other blog-related pages on the web. This is the first part of redesigning the Design section which has been poorly named for a while.
