Reminded by @amit that we haven't done enough for managing draft blog posts, so now there's a simple toggle on the Posts screen on the web for showing just drafts.

We've started watching Christmas movies. Checking my favorite movies blog post from 2 years ago, still holds up. Don't think I have any additions yet. 🎄

Should've done this years ago, but finally realized that part of my problem with the modern macOS Finder is just how cluttered it is. Now I keep the sidebar hidden and remove most of the toolbar items. Better.

We just posted Core Int 491 with a discussion of Thanksgiving, recent work, and Jack Dorsey resigning as Twitter CEO.

Drafts and scheduling posts

This week we improved a few things in Micro.blog for managing drafts and scheduling blog posts to publish at a future date. If you have any drafts or scheduled posts, you'll see a new set of buttons in the Posts screen on the web to filter your posts:

You can save a post as a draft in the iOS or macOS apps, on the web (click the "…" button), or from apps like Ulysses, iA Writer, and MarsEdit. Some apps can automatically schedule a post just by picking a date in the future. You can now also take any draft post in Micro.blog on the web and schedule it from the editing screen:

As always, Micro.blog is first about quick, easy posting. If you don't need drafts or scheduling, the UI should stay out of your way. I know how cluttered some other blog systems can get, and we want to keep Micro.blog as streamlined as possible even though it does have advanced features under the hood.

Putting the final touches on a major new feature we're launching Monday. I love the way it's come together. It's inspired by other services but plays to Micro.blog's strengths, so totally unique. ✉️

Rewatching some highlights from last night’s Spurs win over the Warriors. 4-game winning streak after I almost started doubting if this team could put it together. So fun. 🏀
