FeedCity

You can add any Micro.blog timeline to Feedbin and it looks really good, with profile icons next to each post and inline photos. Check out this screenshot over on Feedbin’s blog.

On my almost-daily podcast, Timetable, today I talk about rebuilding the Facebook integration in Micro.blog and getting organized.

Monday morning, lots of phone calls. Not my favorite thing.

It’s a little late this week, but we published Core Intuition 338 today. Thanks for listening!

Loved the new episode of Internet Friends. Covers a lot: @drewcoffman coming to terms with using Twitter too much, how the user base has changed, what we need from a community, staying creative, blogging, and how @ablaze is using Micro.blog.

In other Slack news this week, they moved their blog from Medium to their own domain name, powered by WordPress VIP. Because they had medium.com URLs before, none of their old posts redirect. At least they’ve got things future-proof now.

You usually can’t control or predict what other companies do. On the latest Timetable, I talk about going ahead with an idea despite some competition. Plus basketball. 🏀

Much faster home page updating for Micro.blog-hosted sites rolling out now. Also, moving to a separate “Archive” page in the navigation and away from pagination. Feedback welcome. (This is a first step. Better year/month organization will come later.)

Today’s Timetable covers microcasts, Facebook changes for Micro.blog, and Twitter’s API announcement this week. Just 7 minutes. Enjoy!

Upcoming meetups: NSDrinking tomorrow night at Radio Coffee & Beer. 8pm. Also, Homebrew Website Club returning first Wednesdays: August 1st at Mozart’s Coffee. 6:30pm. Hope to see some of y’all there!

Dirk is back for a 21st season with the Mavs. Looks like he will pass Wilt Chamberlain on the all-time points list. But not before LeBron passes them both. 🏀

On today’s episode of Timetable, I go into more detail about the recent performance improvements, related glitches, and thoughts on podcast hosting business models.

Nir Zicherman has a post on Medium about how podcast hosting should be free. Nir is the co-founder of Anchor, a company with $14 million in venture-capital funding. Nir writes: Back in the day, you would have had to pay to store your photos online. But that outdated busines...

Last week I parked myself at a coffee shop one morning and re-architected how blog publishing in Micro.blog works. As some of you know, hosted blogs on Micro.blog are based on Jekyll. While this has some advantages that I wrote about in 2016, it brings some performance drawb...

Happy Monday, everyone! There’s a new episode of Micro Monday up. Great to hear from new voices who haven’t been on a podcast before.

Microcast.club is a new directory of short-form podcasts. What a perfect domain name for this. I’ve added Timetable.

The Indie Web: Who owns your identity? Dawn Foster schreibt auf Gigaom über die Indie Web-Bewegung: The Indie Web movement is primarily about ownership and control over your identity. The difficulty is that many of the tools that we need to achieve the complete vision of data ownership just don’t exist yet, or they exist, but not in a way that is accessible to most people. During IndieWebCamp, we focused on discussing these current issues and starting to build some of the tools necessary ...

My Webmention plugin for #WordPress should be kind of stable now… Time to ping the #IndieWeb #Conversations from @eschnou, @Barnaby Walters, @Ben Werdmuller, @Tom Morris, @Will Norris, @Glenn Jones and @Aaron Parecki. …and some <3 for Sandeep Shetty

Great idea of Sandeep Shetty to use the u-like (microformats-2) and webmentions for federated social likes! Works like a charm! #indieweb
