@mako Preach it.

@ericgregorich This is always an issue for me too. It’s best if I do it straight out of bed…but there are a lot of things I’m best at straight out of bed. Good luck to you on your journey!

@robb Micro.one and EchoFeed makes a powerful blogging and cross-posting combo, and comes in under the cost of a standard (crossposting-enabled [and more]) Micro.blog account. The small web is so cool!

@manton Seems like a good choice in the long run. You can always add layer, but removing stuff is tricky. Good luck on the rest of the launch!

@numericcitizen Maybe! But Manton said part of the goal is a marketing reset, so hopefully that works out well for him.
@kev They’re my favorite! 😊 What have you been building?
@kev I suppose that could have been said about Micro.blog in general for a long time. Somewhat confusing, but a great deal if you can wrap your head around it!

@SimonWoods @DaveyCraney I haven’t enabled it yet, no. Manton indicated he’d work on better compatibility for existing blogs so that it doesn’t break links and I’m keeping my fingers crossed for that.

@manton Quick heads up that in the Help doc, it mentions there is no trial period for Micro.one, but the registration page shows a 7-day free trial (and cross-posting, which I don’t think is included).

@jsonbecker For me, it’s equal parts about the migration aspect, about aesthetics, and about simplicity (why do posts need it, but pages don’t?). Plus, I type out my own URLs a surprising amount, and don’t care for the extra 5 characters.

@jthingelstad Your shortcut is very cool! I love that you had the idea to make this for converting your galleries to collections. I haven’t dived into collections yet, but will be keeping this in my back pocket for sure. 🙌
Also, it was fun to click on the Adaptive Photo Layouts link and be reminded that I had a hand in that with @Mtt. I still think those have a place separate from collections.

@jarrod For those confused, it’s helping me to just think of Micro.one as the new entry-level tier of Micro.blog and not a different product despite its new branding. You get a blog (and all the usual plug-ins and theme customization options), Fediverse-compatibility, bookmarks, and podcast hosting for $1 a month. The “standard” tier adds cross-posting, private notes, and (I think?) single-page sites. And the “premium” tier gets you video hosting, additional blogs, bookmark highlights and archives, and email newsletters. It’s quite the spread, and you get so much for just $1/month.

@jsonbecker Not that Manton’s asking for my opinion, but I mostly agree with you. I’d have made Micro.one the barebones blogger with no Timeline/Fediverse/replies — just the built-in themes and custom CSS box without full theme customization. Kinda like M.b’s “answer” to Pika.
And then if you want the social aspects, more customization, or podcasts, you bump up to the standard tier. That’d make three solid but separate reasons a person might want to upgrade. And it’d allow a lot of M.b’s complexity to be hidden from someone who just wants a place to blog. I’m not sold on the new branding and confusion it’ll bring, although the domain is quite good.
All that being said, I hope it’s a roaring success and brings a bunch new people to blogging generally and Micro.blog specifically!

@devondundee I was brainstorming in my head about how I’d do that with a Personal Automation that checks the RSS feed. But yeah, I’d love to see how you’re doing it if you’d like to share. Thanks!
