About

Strata for Micro.blog

Read full description

Micro.blog notes are a new way to save content in Micro.blog when you don't want to use a blog post or draft. Notes are private by default and end-to-end encrypted. Notes are great for: * Jotting down ideas or brainstorming future blog posts. Notes use Markdown, so it's easy to move the text into a blog post draft later. * Sharing content with a smaller group of friends or family, without that content being linked on your blog. When a note is shared, it is given a unique, random-looking URL on your blog that you can send to others. * Journaling within Micro.blog, so you can use the same platform whether you're writing something just for yourself or sharing it with the world in a blog post. Strata requires a Micro.blog account.
