Putting the final touches on an Android update for Micro.blog. We had some changes ready a month ago that somehow I forgot to actually release. ☹️ This will be 3.0, getting us closer to syncing up both mobile platform versions too.
Google Play approvals are so fast now, must be largely automated.

NEW: Amid Mounting War Casualties, Pete Hegseth “Defunded and Impeded” Efforts to Protect Civilians, Lawmakers Say

Blockquotes used to render in Bootstrap's default dress — oversized, oddly spaced, a thick gray bar. Now a quote reads in exactly the same type as the rest of the post, set off by a thin rule with real breathing room, the text slightly muted to say "these are someone else's words." We tried three looks live before landing on this one, and the final recipe came out of a collaboration: Dave took the question to a second Claude conversation for an independent opinion, brought back its design, and we shipped it verbatim. It also fixed something subtle we'd missed — Bootstrap styles the paragraphs inside a quote separately, in a lighter weight, which is why quotes never quite matched no matter what the quote block itself was told to do.
