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!

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?

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 “Nikon zf raw image format macOS” gave everything I needed using the summary view. 😀🤓

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!

“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. 😔

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 Catalyst-based app out there. It wasn’t always like that btw. Was much better before version 2.7. I don’t know when that situation will change.

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.

Dear @Manton, the lack of editing a blogroll entry or moving an entry between blogrolls are really killing me. Putting everything on hold for now until we have a better way of updating this stuff! 😩

Been testing FeedLand this morning. I’m still trying to figure out what it is really about. As a subscriber to Inoreader, I wonder if I really need FeedLand in my digital life. Anyone using FeedLand here? 👀

The Fascinating Game of Moving Between Hosting Platforms
I find those stories always fascinating when I read about a blogger moving from one platform to another. It is as if every hosting solution cannot have it all. There is always too much friction, or something is simply lacking, which prompts us, content creators, to drop one service and search for something else. One service can have a great visual design1yet lacking from the analytics side. One platform can be well-designed but very hard to keep up and running2. Another solution that can be dead simple to publish lacks visual design flexibility3. Can we have it all? I sense a business opportunity here.
I’m permanently questioning my current options. Right now, I’m fine with my hosting solutions, but one never knows when something no longer fits my needs.
Note: this article is a modified version of the original text published elsewhere on 2021-03-05 under my other metablog website using Craft.

I prefer Bear 2 over Craft for managing my reading notes created when using Omnivore and Readwise. This is what the following video is about: migrating from Craft to Bear and why I made that decision. Enjoy.
