Micro.blog

I joined Micro.blog recently and have really been enjoying the service as an alternative to sites like Twitter. It really encourages thoughtful writing and interaction between users. As far as the app goes, I love the clean design and use of Avenir. It would be great to have tabs at the bottom of the screen rather than the menu system plus gesture support for each post to reach conversations, replies, etc. I often find myself bringing up the options with inadvertent taps on different posts. I realise that this is a lot of work but down the line it would also be good to be able to expand images in the timeline, choose custom fonts and toggle a dark mode. I can’t wait to see future developments!

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

The timeline fails to load entirely. Maybe due to the new mastodon integration. With no updates in over a year, this app needs some love to get back on track. Currently it is not usable.

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.

I like the vision behind this product, and it works well enough for my needs as an iOS client. The micro.blog service is a bit idiosyncratic, but I like that you own your own content.

I am from China. I hope the app will work more fluently

Useless app can’t even sign up from the mobile

It’s great and evolving very well....

Micro.blog allows you to connect with other people while still owning your own stuff. It’s great!

I backed Micro.blog on Kickstarter and have been using it since. It's very easy to set up a hosted site or to post to Micro.blog from your Wordpress (or other feed). Great to see the Indieweb movement gaining traction!
