I discovered the “Copy URL as Quote” in Arc Browser, this morning. I love this feature. I get a nice preview in iMessage when sending the link, but what about here in Micro.blog or on Mastodon? Here is an example.

Update #1: it does partially render on Mastodon using the Ivory client. But the content seems missing.

Update #2: The cross-posted post from Micro.blog lacks the preview, but the native post as Micro.blog exposes it, does contain the full previous.

With today’s addition regarding Bookmarks and AI-based summaries, Micro.blog is getting very close to be a read-later service, too. Which I like a lot. Synching highlights to Readwise would be cool too. Hint hint @manton 🙏🏻

Our @nileane reviews feeeed, a very nicely designed alternative to classic RSS readers. Instead of just following RSS feeds, this app supports RSS *and* a variety of sources like Mastodon, YouTube, Reddit, newsletters, and more.

We're going to see a lot of apps along these lines thanks to decentralized social media. This one looks very intriguing to me: https://www.macstories.net/reviews/feeeed-embracing-feed-diversity-and-personal-news-curation/

Similar to the Tapestry project? Seems really well done.

I have been a happy user of Apple Safari for the last decade. If possible, I prefer using Apple’s browser, thanks to its privacy protection and features. If something doesn’t work in Safari, I will try Firefox. I’ll do everything possible to skip Google Chrome. I use Microsoft Edge because of its … read more

Craft release v2.7.0 is a big one. There are lots of improvements that should please a majority of users. I played with it while in beta and created a video to give users a visual look at what’s new. The Craft Bible also was updated to include the release analysis, now part of the subscription.

I learned a lot of things over my long career in IT. But, there is one thing that I fail to learn and master is everything related to CSS¹. I don’t get this, at all. If I could master this thing, plus some of Hugo² concepts, I would create my own Micro.blog visual theme. 😔

Let me guess again the upcoming “big” new feature for Micro.blog: a fully-featured Read Later feature. It could complement Bookmarks wonderfully¹. 👀 That’s the only feature that I can think of that would require a separate app and a browser extension.

The lack of proper footnotes support in the Ghost editor is… how dare I could say that… perplexing? This solution is a bit… overwhelming for me. Oh well.

If you’re a Craft user and are looking for ways that Gen AI could add value to the Craft Assistant, I wrote this document. I think there is an untapped potential in Craft because of minimalistic support for the ChatGPT entry-level model. Feedback is welcome.

I just completed recording my next YouTube video (my YouTube channel), which will come out early next week. It’s probably the one I’m the most proud of at many levels. The release will match the release of a new version of an app that I like a lot 🤫. Technically, the sound is good. … read more

The Arc Browser is the perfect browser to consume my Micro.blog timeline. In fact, it’s the best browser to consume, period. I’m (mostly) in love. I know, I may be late to the party.

Currently exploring and testing the Arc browser. This thing looks seriously cool. I wish Apple invented it. My only serious concern is iCloud Keychain support. 👀🤔

Message to me📌: don’t subscribe to Scribbles. don’t subscribe to Scribbles. don’t subscribe to Scribbles. don’t subscribe to Scribbles. don’t subscribe to Scribbles. don’t subscribe to Scribbles. don’t subscribe to Scribbles. I left Write.as to focus on Micro.blog, why try Scribbles? It makes no sense.

Just spent 15 minutes trying to figure out Safari Profiles, tab groups, etc. Am I alone in thinking that this is far from being user-friendly? I just can’t understand how these things work together.

I’m wondering about this upcoming Micro.blog “big new feature” quite often. What new feature could require its own section on the left sidebar? What could mandate the release of companion apps on iOS and Android? Let’s try to think about it for a minute. So, MB already covers … read more

I’m excited for Tapestry, so I’m supporting it. Mastodon, RSS feeds, and Bluesky can be quite busy sources… how Tapestry is going to tackle high-velocity information feeds is interesting.

I just lost 20 minutes of my life trying to figure out how to log back into a Slack community with the original email that I used initially. It’s probably the most frustrating experience I ever experienced. Slack is unique in that respect, and I just don’t get why it didn’t evolve over time. I ended up creating a new account, which made me lose all my past conversations. 🙄

The work to switch my blog’s visual theme is going really well. It’s a bit easier than I thought to set the desired colour theme, thanks to the plugin’s settings and user-friendliness. I may try the switch tonight, so buckle up during the transition. Reminder: I’ll switch from TinyTheme to Cards Theme. Why? Here’s why: 1) the overall design gives some bit of depth to the content. 2) Post categories are exposed and provide an easy way to browse the blog content. 3) The theme plugin settings give some flexibility. 4) Long posts with a title look better. 🛠️

5x traffic spike on Gumroad for The Craft Bible. Saturday, I bought a dedicated domain name for this subscription on Gumroad. Coincidence? 🤔 I’ll have to see the coming days to make a final judgment.

Inoreader is on a roll so far this year: Team folders, monitored feeds, and now the ability to follow Bluesky users! These are all welcomed additions.

Now, if only they could give some love to their mobile apps¹.
