Typewriter mode is a brilliant addition to Jesse Grosjean’s Bike Outliner, whilst it’s also good to know that focus mode is also sitting there for when I want to see nothing but Bike.
The other updates further push the app into the status of a flexible, full writing app.
Now that I’ve remembered the folks at reMarkable are European, or at least European-based, I have also remembered why they stay in my thoughts when thinking about different ways to approach my digital writing.
Such a nice experience to not get shafted by exchange rates and delivery costs.
This has quickly become one of my favourites, for a variety of common note-taking and specifically for my daily task cards. A feat of engineering for which I am grateful.
After an unintentional ten-day break, I’m back on my daily bullshit. I’ve been enjoying the freedom of the dot grid format in a journalling book, like rows of tiles waiting to be connected. 📙
Jumped on the Micro.blog iOS beta train. I was going to wait, for @TIL, however it’s become clear that it makes little sense to prioritise the old version at the moment. Eventually I will make guides and the like for the older versions but I need to focus on the majority use for now.
I have just, for the first time, seen the Orson Welles champagne outtakes. The look he gives the director at the very end is amazing 😂
I’m making this post for myself, since I will Bookmark it in Micro.blog, so that I have quick access to the Discover timeline for the Photoblogging Challenge in the Mac app.
🎵 Listening: Isolé - Les Gordon
This song is one of my current favourites. Had his work in rotation for about three years; it’s such a joy to find a new favourite artist at my age, in contradiction to the stereotype.
Those full posts don’t have a limit. It’s the Micro.blog timeline that encourages the 280-character limit to make the timeline as readable as possible, not cluttered with long posts or “read more” links.

Seeing the bump to 600 happen in the counter is awesome. This is a very good change to Micro.blog. :)
🎵 Touch the Sky (feat. Lupe Fiasco) - Kanye West
From back when Ye just made great music, minus a lot of the bullshit.
Currently reading: A Deadly Education by Naomi Novik 📚
Eight pages in and wow… I missed her writing. Such a fool for failing to read for several years.
Amit’s test blog per theme idea is great.
Also, the same thing for theme creation and editing. The inclusion of pre-built content would be very helpful for those of us who haven’t figured out a way to mimic themes locally.
Making the Mastodon posts and pages for @TIL is becoming a project unto itself 😂
Started the day with a Spanish omelette and a great cup of coffee. Good to go. ☕️
Would an invite-only Mastodon server be better than Discord 🤔
Did somebody already set up an unofficial Micro.blog server?
Feels good to have joined our very own Vincent’s membership on Buy Me A Coffee! 🎉
