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!

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. 😔

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.

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? 👀

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 … read more

Just finish experimenting with Obsidian¹. I’m always fascinated by Obsidian but also unpleased by its user interface’s uninspired and unfinished feel. Passing for now.

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.

I’m considering buying the Elgato Prompter for use during my YouTube video recording. But I’m not sure that reading a script while recording is something that I’ll feel at ease with. Plus, writing those scripts takes some time. I’m more of an intuitive got with the flow guy when I record. Quality might suffer from this, though. Decisions, decisions, decisions. 🤔

For Micro.blog lovers and enthusiasts, I made a video summarizing February improvements and additions. Enjoy.

The Craft team is introducing collaborative whiteboards to Craft. I tested the feature and made a video about it.

Thought of the day: Micro.blog is probably the most fun and flexible thing on the open web these days that I can play with. It is approachable which in itself is a great quality. It is a creativity “unleasher”. When something is fun, I want more of it. I want to spread the word and share my excitement. 👊🏻

A new post category in micro.blog, filtered to include existing posts writingslowly.com

Great explanation for using categories with Micro.blog.

I officially enabled Shoutouts on this blog! It is quite easy and fun to setup¹. Happy to show support for @vincent.

I’ve been granted a Microsoft Copilot license at work for testing purposes. I have a love and hate relationship with Microsoft software in general. This will probably extend to cover Copilot as well. I shall not be deceived by this video. I will see.

Apparently, in Ghost, you cannot filter past published posts other than by “Newest First”, “Oldest First” or “Recently Updated”. What if I want to list of articles from 2019? 🤔

Update #1: Apparently, you need to go through Ghost Content APIs for this.
