I love my hair. It looks like a fancy dog’s ears. My friend calls it “magic hair.” Everyone I talked to said my hair was incredible. Strangers have compared me to multiple pro wrestlers, Brad Pitt, Kurt Cobain, and Jesus Christ. These are all incredible comps. People see the hair and feel compelled to tell me I remind them of a person famous for being handsome or the literal Lord and Savior.

Epilogue 2.0 for iOS out now. I’ve also submitted the Android version to Google for review, so that won’t be far behind. It seemed right to bump the version to 2.0 because of the new private notes support. The app won’t look very different if you don’t enable notes. With notes enabled on the profile screen, you’ll see a new “Add Note…” button when viewing a book you’re reading. Here you can add a note about your reading progress, and it will be saved to the Micro.blog backend, encrypted along with other Micro.blog notes. I blogged more about book notes in Micro.blog yesterday. Notes are available for all Micro.blog or Micro.blog Premium subscribers, but not Micro.one. If you need to upgrade from Micro.one, click on the Plans page on the web.
