Developer from Austin, TX. I created Tweet Marker and Micro.blog.
A few days ago at Salt Point. After camping, detoured into San Francisco for a day of being a city tourist with reliable wi-fi.
Finished reading: Termination Shock by Neal Stephenson. Love the premise, characters, and strong first half, then I started to wonder if Stephenson had lost the plot… but it comes together and he sticks the landing. 📚 https://micro.blog/books/9780063028074

More Presenters Join the Micro Camp Lineup
Micro Camp is a virtual gathering taking place March 11-12, 2022. 🏕 (Or March 12-13, if you are on the other side of the International Dateline.) It’s a community celebration and a mutual inspiration opportunity. 🎉 ⭐️ Sign up for the mailing list at the Micro Camp website for future announcements and registration details! We are excited to announce that these folks will present: Clifford Beshers (@cliffordbeshers) Khaled Abou Alfa (@kaa) Sven Dahlstrand (@sod) They join the lineup with the four presenters we have already announced:
Moving away from App Store-focused development: https://www.manton.org/2022/02/09/moving-away-from.html
Moving away from App Store-focused development
A few things are happening at once that together are putting some clarity on the direction we should have for Micro.blog development: Vincent has been working on the official Android app. It’s in public beta now on Google Play. This app is written in React Native, which uses JavaScript with native system controls. Apple is burning through developer trust with the App Store. This is now mainstream opinion, not just a fringe of developers complaining.
Rolling out a fix for cross-posting in Micro.blog, which broke when we optimized publishing performance this week. Apologies for the glitch.
IndieWeb Meetup this week in Austin! Wednesday at Mozart’s Coffee, 6:30pm. Stop by to chat about the open web and the upcoming IndieWebCamp. ☕
Day 2 of Catalina, now hitting more issues with full disk access and Ruby-related commands. Using rbenv and starting to wonder if I need to throw everything out and re-install to make Catalina happy. I’ve added all the obvious paths to System Prefs.
Running a series of exports and scripts to do some number crunching and update Micro.blog mailing lists. Nothing fancy. In some cases just pasting Ruby code into the console.
With a couple new releases of Micro.blog and Sunlit out the door, I think it’s time to upgrade to Catalina. I had it on an external drive for testing over the summer and so was happy to avoid upgrading for real.
