Third guess was a waste. Starting to feel good building the daily habit of playing different word games.
Improved a few things with the recommendations page linked from a Micro.blog profile. Now includes an OPML download link too.
Excellent work. Raising the visibility and ease of access to OPML files strengthens web feeds as an alternative to silo feeds.
I was looking into creating OPML files for @TIL; I’m still going to do so, only now I do not need to wait until I have accomplished this to launch related features. Instead, I’ll immediately use this MB mechanism for those features.
Seen some indie-bashing going on Micro.blog lately. Bit disappointing to see a lack of perspective from folks who otherwise seem capable of understanding the bigger picture, and remembering just how awful things have become with a small number of massive American companies in charge of everything.
Indie devs:
I hope you can stop using “we” when there’s only one of you.
I hope that decision doesn’t actually work as a method to encourage or reassure people.
I hope this is one of many small paper-cuts that can be removed from the world of the indie internet dev.
Idea: Use the new MB Recommendations feature to make an expanded version of Micro Monday.
It’s a way to curate a list of favorite sites to link to from your blog.

One of my favourite parts of this feature is that the recommendations lists are available on a web page. Expected yet still great implementation which favours the web.
The big wigs at Apple should take a leaf out of Jen Simmons' book.
It would be a much wiser approach as compared to “Web developers will sacrifice your children to the devil.”
I’m not a fan of the approach: “lol I used the Accessibility Description to tell more of the joke that I’m telling in the post”
So you decided to be an ableist asshole and want a pat on the back for it? Cool.
Muted somebody on MB whom I had previously un-muted.
There is a type of trolling that is most corrosive to a community, and it comes in a form that is not obvious. These people are skilled at hiding their crappy behaviour behind sets of well-chosen words, a skill honed from being overly online.
The bug in the MB app for Mac in which Conversations do not load properly (it just shows a blank view in the right column) is, at times, a feature!
Currently I am too easily distracted and many of the posts and replies from the timeline are very good.
I can’t pick a particular line to quote from It’s Okay to Not Write so I suggest you read the whole thing.
Having fun with iCloud breaking my web browsing. Had to do a bunch of restarts and signing out and back in again; it’s like being back on Windows!
