Reminders has been dog-shit for me lately, so: Reminders -> Due for my non-shared tasks. Instantly better.
Terrible performance from Reminders might be because I’m using a less-powerful device, however if the tiny indie who makes Due can get it right then what are the excuses people have for Apple.
Not only do I want to build a Micro.blog browser extension; I want it to include whatever that function is in which you can use third-party features when right-clicking a page.
I especially want to highlight text and have the “Quote on Micro.blog” option to be immediately available near the cursor.
Per the awesome new feature for MB, I am immediately using this for TIL. Will be included in the next Orchid update along with another recent addition to the platform.
I love it when an idea I am going to implement becomes much easier thanks to improvements made by Manton and co.
The brand new One Page feature for Micro.blog is pretty fucking sweet.
Added an OPML export option for who you’re following, under Posts → “…” → Export. Finally! This is slightly incomplete because Micro.blog attempts to exclude feeds that look semi-private. We’ll continue to improve this. There is also a fediverse CSV export under Account → View Fediverse Details.
🙌
I’ll soon be checking the different platforms for their export capabilities, as part of research for TIL. It’ll be interesting to see which platform, if any, has a comprehensive offering of this feature.
I’ve been on the web for over twenty years and my brain still struggles to think of bread as “a biscuit”.
I continue to struggle with the limit-less nature of the MB timeline. Moving through paragraphs of text intermingled with columns of photographs isn’t my preferred scrolling experience.
However; “Read more” links and side-scrolling widgets often feel… fragile? So idk. A tough nut to crack.
I went to one MB meet-up about analogue tools and now I’m wondering if I could fit a writing desk into this house.
Need to make a note of Charlie Monroe’s upcoming video player so that I have some chance of remembering. I’m going to buy this thing without trying it; that’s how good I find Downie and Permute to be.
The MB Analogue Meet-up, aka The Patrick Rhone Appreciation Hour was fun! I came away with some ink on my hands…
ICYMI: The Analogue Tools Meet-up is due to take place tomorrow. Follow Halsted’s instructions if you’re interested! 🖋️📝
