Figured out how to publish the AT Proto schema for blog.micro.content. Neat. The schema is just a PDS record, with a DNS entry to resolve the name.

Added a page to document some of how Micro.blog works with Bluesky, including Standard.site compatibility. I’ll add more to this as I think of implementation details that are useful to know.

Cleaned up a few things in the web interface for books this week, including a new popup menu for switching bookshelves. Here’s a quick 12-second screencast video.

Daniel Jalkut and I had hoped to record a bonus post-WWDC podcast, even scheduled it, but now it has been weeks… There’s always something going on. Amazing that we used to record a weekly show for a decade or more!

Good write-up of fediverse blogging apps including Micro.blog at Federated Mind.

We shipped Micro.blog 3.0 for Android today. See the full release notes here. I think this is the first time that both iOS and Android have had exact feature parity. We previously had some code on iOS that was only written in Obj-C.
