Wow! Changes!

I’ve been a paid member for over a year now, and hadn’t really used it in a while. But I was invited to the TestFlight beta, so I got back in and it is alive and changing. With the new ‘Pages’ , ‘Photos’ tabs, a full website comes alive. It’s incredible. No longer just for firing off a word and forgetting about. A solid place to cultivate a following.

The Swiss Army Knife of the indie web

It may be disguised as a simple web hosting service combined with a social media feed, but Micro.blog has an incredible collection of useful features and mini-apps to make blogging and social media both seamless and fun. Email newsletters, notetaking, podcasting, syndicating across the fediverse and beyond, photo-bloggingand video blogging, bookshelves, bookmarking and archiving, (entirely optional) AI image captions and post summaries. It’s amazing that a tiny team can offer so much.

Wonderful update!

The latest 3.0 update has added a ton of improvements! This is exactly what the app needed.

What Twitter and GoodReads should be

Really like the service.

Not clear or upfront information

This app is a 10 day trial based on their hosting ($5/mo). After 10 days of creating a blog you will be cut off. I sent an email to customer service and they responded by giving me a additional week. Perhaps if you can find other free hosting it would be a great app.
