  • I love ❤️ Scribbles but the lack of support for Plausible is a bit sad for me. 😔 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.🕺🏻👀🤔


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

  • 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. 😔

  • 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.

  • 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 … 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.


    1. I do this occasionally, as if I was trying to convince myself that it is something should use. ↩︎
