People and blogs involved with and about the IndieWeb community, the fediverse, and/or the open web in general.
Added one of the oldest requested features to Micro.blog today: editing the slug for a post. There’s a new page for managing URL paths. A couple other things will go here later, like batch delete, to avoid cluttering the main editing interface.
I went to see a discussion between Matt Mullenweg and John Borthwick, two people from tech who I have worked with, but hadn't seen in a while. I wanted to chat with both of them, and did, which was well-worth the journey. I liveblogged it. My chat with Matt helped me understand what we're doing. One of the things we talked about is an idea I thought he would understand and love. It relates to their podcasting client, Pocket Casts, which I use.
I went to NYC yesterday, drove both ways in the same day, which is a lot of driving. It was exceptional for me, two big cities in three weeks, Ottawa and New York. Had time to sit in Washington Square Park, then I rode a Citibike up to where I used to live near Columbus Circle. On the way I shot a video of a woman on West St with a sign that said Honk For Democracy. I thought it was a nice shot, and typically NYers drove right by her, no honking, unfortunately. I also shot a video in Washington Square Park. NYC is photogenic, interesting, and still where I come from, proudly.
Good morning! Coffee at Houndstooth. Big day, going to release the new Mac app and blog about the upcoming video hosting. Maybe a new web feature too. ☕️

When you think about it, the phrase “earning a living” is really quite vile.
Reading I Am Legend by Richard Matheson.
Watched the first quarter of Spurs / Lakers but can’t stay up for the whole game. It’s not helping that the sun seems to set at 5pm now. 🏀
Thinking again about file over app by Steph Ango. We have a lot of export and import options in Micro.blog, but I always think there’s more to do. It’s hard to make file access seamless with web apps.
From the NetNewsWire blog about version 6.2:
…there is one new feature of potential interest: we’ve added support for Markdown in RSS feeds.
Micro.blog feeds also now support Markdown in RSS, for any blogs updated starting today. If you haven’t edited your RSS feed, you’ll get it automatically.

I just got off stage from the great dev/ai/nyc event with John Borthwick, we had a wide-ranging discussion that we’ll post online soon. We had hundreds of people in the room and hundreds on the waitlist… the energy in NYC is electric! As a few recommendations from the event, I recommended revisiting the movie Her … Continue reading Post-talk Recs →
