Still disappointed that the Spurs didn't make the playoffs, but I guess I have to begrudgingly admit that the Pelicans finished the season strong. Looks like the Suns series might go to 7 games. 🏀

Hello new folks joining Micro.blog! 👋 From @kimberlyhirsh:
Everybody on Twitter wants to know where to go now. The answer is your own website, syndicating out to wherever else people end up.
Yep! This is why Micro.blog is both social network and blog hosting platform.

Mostly running errands this morning as the Elon Musk + Twitter news was breaking. Watched the rain slowly fill the sidewalk from the front porch of my uncle's house, there to meet some workers helping with his garage. The sound of rain takes the stress out of everything for me.
Last night had a dream that was too bizarre and timely not to share... In it, I met Eugen Rochko at a conference, and he showed me a prototype tablet with a physical keyboard that could only post to Mastodon. "And we call it iPhone," he said. What?! No idea what this means.

We love welcoming new people to Micro.blog. Thanks for giving it a try if you're new! Mastodon has also seen a big increase in users and that's good for the web too. (Reminder that you can configure Micro.blog to follow and reply to Mastodon users directly from Micro.blog.)

Lunch earlier at Torchy’s. Hadn’t been there in a while, nice to see some menu tweaks like fresh avocados instead of fried. 🌮
Updated Micro.blog for macOS with a couple bug fixes today, including a fix from @otaviocc for Day One photo export.

I expect Twitter to pause anything new during this limbo period between the Twitter board accepting Elon's offer and it actually happening. It'll be a great few months for other social networks to innovate and add features while Twitter is at a standstill.

Morning everyone. Coffee and work outside at Cenote. ☕️
Email response time in Help Scout for the last couple of months. Average about 14 hours. Could be better but I feel good about this... Huge improvement compared to last year.
It's cool to see people reading the microblogging book. Reminder that we're going to stop accepting orders for the e-book and print editions after this month. That'll help me wrap up the final edit and focus on Micro.blog.

Achievement unlocked? No idea where the key is to this old lock and the trick with leveraging the force of 2 wrenches together totally works to bust it open.
If you're using Micro.blog bookmarks, check out this Shortcut for iOS and macOS from @rknightuk to make saving web pages easier. If you're on Micro.blog Premium, we'll also archive a copy of any bookmarked pages so they are highlightable and searchable.

If you're new to Micro.blog, make sure to check out the third-party apps if the official native app isn't quite right for you. New version of Gluon just shipped with a bunch of improvements.

About a month ago, we rolled out a change that made microblog posts much faster to appear in the timeline… except for some folks where it was inadvertently slower instead. I think I've now got that fixed. Will continue to look for more optimizations.

Love seeing completely different themes on Micro.blog, like the design for micro.alexezell.com by @ezellwrites. Just noticed that it's in the plug-in directory too!

The photo challenge is underway! Day 1, switch.
Late this week but hopefully worth the wait... Core Intuition 511 about Elon Musk and Twitter! Plus a follow-up about how it's going with customer support email.

Love seeing all the photos for the May photo challenge. I'm hoping to finally get the 30-day Photo Challenge pin myself this month. You'd think I would've gotten this pin by now as the first Micro.blog user, but it keeps eluding me. 🙂

On our Plans page we have $5, $10, and $20 options. I kind of want to put a "our most popular plan!" label on the cheapest $5 option because: 1) it's true; and 2) to poke fun of all the SaaS apps that always highlight their middle tier. 💰
