Micro.blog 1.0.1 for Android

We have a bug fix update today for folks on Android! @vincent actually finished this version months ago but it had been hung up in Google app review for some reason. Finally got it approved.

  • Fixed potential crashing bug when starting a new post.
  • Fixed issues opening images in the image detail screen.
  • Fixed loading latest profile photos.

Grab the update on Google Play. The next version is also coming along well, so expect more for Android this year.

If you missed it over the weekend, I created a new plug-in that changes your home page to just be full of photos and basic navigation. Great for photo blogs while still allowing text and full-length blog posts outside of the home page. Updated it today for smaller screens.

Finally starting the Malazan series. I’m reading on Kindle Unlimited which includes the Audible narration as an option, so I can read or listen and it’s synced up. Wish every e-book purchase worked this way. πŸ“š

Rolled out some bug fixes to the Mac version of Micro.blog this week. "Check for Updates" to get the latest version. Improves dragging from Apple Photos and several other tweaks.

New web feature that @vincent has been working on, via the news blog:

Hover the mouse over someone's profile photo to get a quick look at their full name, bio, web site, and link to follow them.

This is especially useful in Discover if you want to quickly follow someone new.

Good feedback on the web profile popup we rolled out yesterday. Thanks everyone! We fixed a couple issues today and will continue to tweak it.

Caught up on support email. I had started to lag behind again. Still really happy with the way Help Scout works... It has been one of our better upgrades.

MarsEdit 4.6 was released today with some nice improvements for Micro.blog! Automatically hiding/showing the title field, and creating new blog categories directly from within MarsEdit when writing a post.

We've continued to tweak the new profile popup so that it's more usable. Faster, smaller, and off to the side a little now. Pretty happy with this version! Here's a screenshot to capture the progress.
