And so it begins. Server set up and running. Deploys are working... now I just gotta actually start with some useful stuff 😋

"Well, it's been a little while since I wrote an update here. The truth is, is that it's been moving pretty fast!"

Gotta move my desk for Micro.camp today. Pretty excited. Trying to decide what T-shirt to wear… really need a Micro.blog one!

If anyone has noticed, last week we replaced the little profile pop-ups on Micro.blog with rewritten ones. These were done with AlpineJS under the hood, but I went ahead and replaced that with Stimulus. They work so much nicer and way easier to work with now.

When you write something carefully, check it through a few times, all looking great, and tell yourself not to copy it... but then you do, and send off the message, then you paste it for your own records... to then find a spelling mistake. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO 😭

If you're using the awesome Pika blogging platform, and want to use Tinylytics for analytics (you really should), it's totally baked in now — including some others. Super exciting. Very thankful to Good Enough to do this in a great way! ✌️❤️

Made a few minor UI tweaks to Tinylytics. Now you can hide the Kudos and Uptime tabs on a site by site basis (subscribers only). Also tweaked the way the embed code and site id are shown when it's all working (less cluttered). Plus some other minor things that only I will notice.
2024-05-07 02:51:00
I guess I made a start to my feed reader. Copied across some basics from Scribbles... and it's up and running. Just need to fill in the blanks now 🤪
2024-05-07 01:21:00
If you're using shoutouts, and maybe you should if you don't, I have tweaked the way shoutouts are shown in the dashboard — inactive ones are now hidden by default and they have their own dedicated page. Just hit the "Inactive" button and Bob's Your Uncle.

Quick tweak to the dashboard on Tinylytics. It'll now page sites if you have more than 12. Why 12? No one knows. Change that setting on your user profile page to suit your needs.

"You might be running that blog, site or page that is no longer used — but you want to hold onto the data for archival purpose — look at those good times, or bad. Well, now you can."

Just want to give a huge thank you to everyone that believes in my work ✌️❤️ I now have a stable side income from my own projects that certainly has made a few things easier. Scribbles has been a MASSIVE surprise in the past month 🤯
2024-04-30 00:14:00
Just like everyday (and everybody else?), I have no fucking clue what I am doing or where I am going. I do know that I try and do the right things, so that's something to aim for. I don't think many people actually know what they're doing or where they are heading in life. Just keep going.
2024-04-27 02:17:00
Away for the weekend. Acrobatics competition tomorrow, for the kiddo, and then we're doing rollercoasters 🎢 on Sunday. See you all on Monday 😜
2024-04-27 01:42:00
"You made a sale!" — I've seen a lot of these emails in the past 3 months, and I am forever grateful. You're the best! Thank you for believing in my work! It does mean the world to me. I hope I can keep it going for the longterm ✌️❤️
2024-04-27 01:37:00
I was thinking of branching off Tinylytics into different apps, for example tracking app usage with events and whatever else I can think of. Although now I am thinking of just adding an optional "pro" mode, which is an add-on subscription, that unlocks a bunch of extras. Thoughts?

"...welcome to a small but important update to Gluon.
* Bug fixes and general improvements."

"There is now a new blog settings screen called "crossposting" that shows you all of your available feeds, which you can copy and add to Micro.blog, EchoFeed or any other services that digests RSS feeds and then cross posts them."
— Crossposting on the Scribbles Update Blog
2024-04-25 15:00:00
We're fixing Micro.blog at the moment. We've identified the issue. And yes, I woke up Manton 😋 Poor guy... although was hoping to hear his groggy voice.
2024-04-25 13:17:00
Micro.blog is currently down. I will try and revive it when I am back from the school run... so at least 1 hour from now.
2024-04-24 23:38:00
Shipped last week, you now have the ability to create categories to your posts with a super simple and slick interface to get started. Categories allows you to add one category per post so that you separate out your content into... well... categories of course.

For my next project I will be creating a feed reader, based on the look and feel of Scribbles, that doesn’t make you scratch your eyes out and doesn’t make you feel bad for “omg, you didn’t fucking read this yet???” 😬😜

Happy to announce that Scribbles is now open for registration 🥳 Blog post announcing it properly as the week progresses.
Really couldn't be here without all the early adopters! Thank you so very much for all your feedback ✌️❤️
2024-04-22 02:38:00
I know it's easy to get frustrated and vent on your blog, but if there is anything missing from any of my products, you can always email me — I reply to most emails very quickly. Otherwise I'll probably never see it. I don't always check "social". You know where I am ✌️❤️
2024-04-21 21:33:00
Just a quick PSA for all Scribbles early adopters, this is the last week when you're able to grab the Lifetime plan. You'll always have access to the early adopter yearly plan of $30. I might send out an email to everyone that hasn't yet subscribed — totally get that it isn't for everyone too.

I’m behind on blogging. Need to write about:
2024-04-20 18:51:00
Hey folks on Micro.blog, looks like one of the servers wasn't happy so you would have seen intermittent 502 errors. That's now fixed. Will keep monitoring.
2024-04-19 04:35:00
I’d like to offer a 20 minute (can be longer), one on one, video call for any of my paying customers for Tinylytics, Scribbles and Shoutouts, to talk about any pain points and stuff they want to see improved. If you’re interested: [email protected]
Will do these in May ✌️❤️

This is why Macrumors is, quite frankly, a terrible site (just like 9to5). Quote about Siri:
“Despite regular updates and improvements from Apple, Siri has struggled to keep pace with its advancing rivals, and in an era of generative AI chatbots and large language models, Siri's failings have only been magnified.”
I bet you Apple sent that over to them. To be honest, I don’t even know why I actually care. I don’t.
Regular updates? What are they sniffing? Rotten Apples perhaps. Real stupid.
