“Like a jam session for people who like typewriters. You had unions do sit-ins and hippies do be-ins, so I thought, ‘We’ll do a type-in.’” —Michael McGettigan, 56, bike shop owner who coined the phrase With attendees from 8 months old to over 80, our Spring type-in was so successful, we’re hosting another one before … Continue reading You’re Invited to Another Southern California Type-In!

Thanks @jarrod for the kind words about Micro.blog Studio. His post actually does a better job of answering the “why” of video hosting than my own announcement post!

Good move from Google for privacy, building servers similar to Apple’s private cloud compute. From The Verge:

The compromise is to ship more difficult AI requests to a cloud platform, called Private AI Compute, which it describes as a “secure, fortified space” offering the same degree of security you’d expect from on-device processing. Sensitive data is available “only to you and no one else, not even Google.”

Dave Winer has been updating the web page about Markdown in RSS. This is an RSS extension that adds source:markdown elements to your feed. Micro.blog supports this by default for all blogs. For one of my recent microblog posts, it looks like this in my feed: <item> &...

New developer notes for source:markdown. Report problems here.

As part of the process I reviewed the developer notes I posted in 2022. I see why there was confusion, it was so early in the process. I'm replacing those developer notes with new ones, that's based on more practical experience.

An example feed that has lots of source namespace elements.

We’ve launched the first version of a new subscription plan called Micro.blog Studio. This plan joins the standard Micro.blog hosting, the Micro.blog Premium plan, and our Micro.blog Family plan, providing options at a bunch of price points: Micro.one: $1 Micro.blog: $5 Micr...

Today I'm going to work on re-shaping the docs for source:markdown because it seems to becoming a thing that people are supporting in their feeds and in their feed consumer apps. We're going to have discuss how it's supported, on both ends. What goes into a source:markdown element, and what does not, and how should readers use it. I will assume the role of benevolent dictator, as I did with RSS 2.0, with a bit more of an understanding of what's important. See Rule #1 in Rules for Standards-makers. "The only reason we have open formats and protocols is so our software can interoperate." And the Rule of Users: "People choose to interop because it helps them find new users. If you have no users to offer, there won't be much interest in interop."

Today was a good day, I think, for finishing a little guy that I’ve been carrying around incomplete for a couple of weeks.

The story of what Bending Spoons has built is very impressive, and I’m a customer of theirs through Evernote, WordPress uses Meetup a ton. I think Automattic’s Noho office used to belong to Meetup. They’ve built an incredible engineering and product culture that can terraform technology stacks into something much more efficient. I think their … Continue reading Bending Spoons →
