  • Overrated x 1000

    Microsoft 365 or Office 365, if you prefer, is so overrated. Microsoft is the master of selling licenses but when it comes down to doing real serious collaborative work with Teams and the rest of the software suite it falls apart really quickly. For example: trying to collaborated on a Word … read more

  • Hey guys, I’m looking for an app that can browser folders containing photos. This app would display photo’s metadata too and allow for adjusting the thumbnails size. Any recommendations for me? I’m looking for an alternative to Adobe Bridge. Thanks.

  • Ghost and ActivityPub Support - We All Win

    I’m a bit late to the game but I just read the announcement by Ghost about their ActivityPub support that is coming to their platform. I find this development super exciting; one of my site is on Ghost. Having people subscribe to my content via their favorite Mastodon client is super cool. But … read more

  • Dashboards are among the most popular use cases for Notion. As a Craft user, it is tempting to try creating a dashboard that suits my needs, but that gets its inspiration from what others are doing in Notion. I tried it and the following video tells it all. Enjoy.

  • I love ❀️ Scribbles but the lack of support for Plausible is a bit sad for me. πŸ˜” cc @vincent

  • Why would you need Echofeed when using Micro.blog to syndicate to Mastodon et al.?

  • Funny that, reading a random post this morning, stumbled on that one. A year later and I found a use case for Bear.

  • My two main problems with omg.lol: the branding is no-go and no free tier to try it out. I’m still pondering my options. For now, Scribbles FTW!

  • Testing Micro.blog macOS app version 3.2. I should use it more often when I’m on a Mac, which is 95% of the time! Fun fact: If I understand Micro.blog premium subscription capabilities correctly, I have one more blog available in my five-blog allotment1.πŸ•ΊπŸ»πŸ‘€πŸ€”


    1. I might use it for travel journaling. ↩︎

  • I like HEY mail but I rarely use the client to read The Feed, which is a bit sad. There was no improvement to the reading experience since HEY release. Anyone with the same experience?

  • Brought my iPad with me but failed to use it once after arriving at the hotel as I prefer my iPhone1. I wonder what it means, if it means anything regarding my love of the iPad and my future plans of upgrading.


    1. On the plane, I use the iPad more. ↩︎

  • Using Arc Search on iPhone to get a summary of an issue affecting a specific tech setup (hardware + software) is brilliant and a time saver. Searching for β€œNikon zf raw image format macOS” gave everything I needed using the summary view. πŸ˜€πŸ€“

  • Dear @Vincent, why is this page not showing on my Scribbles blog? BTW, I love Scribbles a lot and finally found my real use cases for it. I think people do like it too. Conitnue your good work!

  • I really wish there was a way to save a thread from my Micro.blog timeline because right now, there is a great discussion happening that I wish I could save for later. @manton

  • Reading product reviews through Kagi’s summarize page feature is rather cool and a great time saver.

  • I’ve been setting up a group of to-do lists in Apple Reminders for managing our home improvement project. Each list is shared with my wife which means that each task can be assigned to one of us. I really like my experience so far.

  • Just spent1 30 minutes trying to configure a contact form for use in one of my Micro.blog site using https://web3forms.com/. Micro.blog is having difficulty rendering the HTML. Directed my question on the MB help forum. I’ll see where it goes from there. If you have used this service yourself on your Micro.blog website, chime in!


    1. “Wasted” might be a better term. ↩︎

  • I just discovered that I can no longer use my Apple ID on my 2013 Mac Pro running macOS 12.4, thanks to Advanced Data Protection enabled on my other devices. So, I cannot update or install apps from the Mac App Store. Not cool at all. One less use case for this aging Mac. πŸ˜”

  • On Craft for iPhone

    Craft on iPhone is so much different than on the iPad. It feels like a totally different app. If I were an iPhone-only user I wouldn’t buy a Craft subscription because the iPhone version is so bad. Thankfully the iPad version is much more workable and the Mac version is probably the best … read more

  • If I were in my thirties, I would run my own instance of Pixelfed. If I were in my twenties, I would build a Pixelfed alternative.
