Micro.blog News

  • Inkwell for Android has been updated with a few bug fixes. Full release notes always on the help page.

  • Fixed accidentally escaping block quotes (HTML and Markdown) in replies.

  • Apologies, hosted blogs were down briefly because of a server problem. Everything should be good now.

  • Updated CSS editor on the web with better color syntax highlighting.

  • We’ve rolled out initial Ghost blog sync on the web platform. This is still a little experimental and will likely see more improvements now that it’s deployed. Make a backup! You can connect a WordPress or Ghost blog to be synced within Micro.blog by clicking Account → New Blog popup menu.

  • Epilogue 2.7.1 for iOS and Android is now available, fixing a few issues and adding the new text editor with Markdown highlighting.

  • Updated the books API page with an example of getting data formatted nicely for a calendar interface. This is what Micro.blog and Epilogue use. It’s also available from Hugo plug-ins.

  • Micro.blog’s automatic sending of webmentions has been expanded to support u-like-of links on your blog. If you manually create one of those links, Micro.blog will send the webmention for you.

  • Fixed an issue creating Bluesky preview cards in cross-posting for some external blogs.

  • Updated Inkwell for Mac to version 1.5.3, fixing several issues.

  • Epilogue 2.7 has now been released for Android too. It adds the Goals → Calendar tab and also fixes the bad cropping on the icon for some Android devices.

  • Epilogue for iOS has been updated with a new Goals → Calendar tab.

  • Updated Wavelength to run on the iPad.

  • New blogs now default to the “Photos with months” plug-in, for nicer looking photos page with sections by date. Anyone can install the plug-in or if you know a little HTML, edit the theme to customize the layout.

  • Fixed a bug with plug-ins like “Photos with months” not overriding default templates in Hugo 0.158. For new users, we’re also going to start automatically installing that plug-in soon, since it’s a better default.

  • Fixed a new issue with redirects and 404 handling for subdomains, and possible temporary SSL errors.

  • We had some more downtime today after a server problem. Apologies again. We’ll continue to closely monitor throughout the rest of the day.

  • There was a brief period (30 seconds) of errors when creating new blog posts today. Very sorry for the glitch. All good now.

  • We’ve released a big update to Wavelength for iOS and Android, version 2.1. This adds the Listen Later feature from the web, and also a new option to add audio narration to existing blog posts.

  • Fixed new videos coming from Mastodon to show the poster frame in the timeline before playback.

  • Fixed an upload issue that incorrectly limited uploads to 20 MB from MarsEdit and other XML-RPC clients. For larger video files, we still recommend uploading from the web and using a Micro.blog Studio subscription.

  • We released Epilogue 2.6 for iOS and Android. This version adds The New York Times fiction best seller list in Discover and a new layout for iPad users.

  • Fixed including duplicate books in Discover when a blog post was also cross-posted to Bluesky.

  • Improved posts search for your blog to highlight matches when in posts list view. Updated search highlighting style for dark mode.

  • Added a new “Pull from GitHub” button in the theme editor when viewing a theme or plug-in that was cloned from GitHub. Also moved the “Edit Themes” button under the select theme popup menu.
