Apple has got to dial down the paste warning alert in iOS 16. It's pretty disruptive when doing any back and forth copy/pasting between apps.

Introducing the Micro.blog Family plan

Today we rolled out a new subscription option: Micro.blog Family, designed for up to 5 people with all the features of Micro.blog Premium. It's $15/month and you can upgrade on the "Plans" page in Micro.blog.

Over 2 years ago we added a Teams plan with unlimited users, but it was never quite right. Micro.blog started around personal microblogs and it felt like too big of a jump to expect that larger companies would start using Micro.blog regularly. Micro.blog Family fits better with our mission and is a more natural upgrade for folks who want to bring family or friends together around a blog. I'm using it for a travel blog for my family, and we think it's a good fit for photo blogs and family email newsletters too.

Spotify continues their push into audio with audiobooks... I don't love Spotify trying to dominate all audio, especially podcasts, but on the other hand the audiobook industry probably needs a little competition.

Congrats to @RogueAmoeba on 20 years. Love the old screenshot. Aqua! Drawers!

My book reading has been a little random lately, bouncing between a few novels based on mood and what is due in Libby soon. On track to read more books in a year than I ever have before. ๐Ÿ“š

Finished reading: Anxious People by Fredrik Backman. Wonderful characters. Starts kind of all over the place (by design) and really comes together nicely. ๐Ÿ“š

If you're on the Micro.blog for Android beta, check out version 1.2 which adds improvements that we had been working on for the iOS version. We plan to continue shipping new features on Android as the iOS beta progresses. ๐Ÿค–

Great new Micro.blog plug-in from @sod: Search Space! In beta, but I installed it already on my blog to try out and it works really well. Nice upgrade from my old search page plug-in.

Hadestown was great. Wait for Me is a new favorite.

New Core Intuition! We talk about @danielpunkass getting detoured into working on FastScripts, and the benefit of "quick wins": smaller features that can be implemented quickly and rolled out to customers in days, to balance longer-term releases.

Shipped a couple updates to Epilogue for iOS in the last week. I'm using this app every day now and like the way it's shaping up.

Rolled out a couple improvements to the Posts page in Micro.blog on the web for phones, as well as fixes to a few other pages. I find myself using the web version more as we work on 3.0 for iOS, finding little things I hadn't noticed before that needed fixing.

Love the small empire of social web-y tools @neatnik is building over on omg.lol. Keeping an eye on things we might be able to integrate with in the future, if it makes sense.

Andor episode 3 was great. Worth the kind of slow build up to get there. Also really enjoying Rings of Powerโ€ฆ What a time for TV. ๐Ÿ“บ

About to queue up the latest House of the Dragon. Iโ€™m skeptical that they are taking the star of the show and switching to a different actress as the character ages, mid-season. ๐Ÿ“บ

Over the weekend we made a bunch of little refinements to Micro.blog on the web. Here's a screenshot of the Bookshelves page which now has recent book covers.
