New version of Micro.blog for macOS released! This adds a new modern-style macOS app icon, bug fixes, and a change to the context menu in timeline posts. We now show inline Reply and Bookmark buttons. Faster to show conversations and more consistent with future mobile apps.

Realized this week that the "versions" feature in Micro.blog isn't well-understood, so I wrote up a quick overview of the different backup features in Micro.blog. Always good to occasionally grab a blog backup, or at the very least make sure the Wayback Machine has a copy.

Just published our first Core Intuition episode of the year. We talk about goals and themes for the year, Micro.blog and Epilogue, and whether MarsEdit is the "one thing" @danielpunkass should be focused on.

Great post from @jeannie about the problem with the favorite button. "It removes genuine interaction and replaces it with a convenient click." And I'll add: algorithms love clicks because they can measure and sort it. Humans need more than that.

Finished reading: Tress of the Emerald Sea by Brandon Sanderson. First book of the new year! Different than Brandon’s other novels but wonderful in its own way. 📚

We are so spoiled with movies now, gotta be careful not to become too cynical or "everything sucks" if it's not a perfect, totally new idea. I thought Avatar 2 was incredible. Visually stunning, engaging. Not just in a few big scenes, but all the time.
