Micro.blog

I’ve been a paid member for over a year now, and hadn’t really used it in a while. But I was invited to the TestFlight beta, so I got back in and it is alive and changing. With the new ‘Pages’ , ‘Photos’ tabs, a full website comes alive. It’s incredible. No longer just for firing off a word and forgetting about. A solid place to cultivate a following.

This app is a 10 day trial based on their hosting ($5/mo). After 10 days of creating a blog you will be cut off. I sent an email to customer service and they responded by giving me a additional week. Perhaps if you can find other free hosting it would be a great app.

I like the vision behind this product, and it works well enough for my needs as an iOS client. The micro.blog service is a bit idiosyncratic, but I like that you own your own content.
