Checking backups manton.org

@manton Any chance automating backups is on the road map?

@Bruce I'm hoping to bring back the automatic GitHub mirroring in some form. But downloading an archive to your own computer really needs to be automated outside of Micro.blog.

@manton Am I right that’s something I could do with the JSON API? And would it be possible to do the same with my favorites/bookmarks?

@Bruce No, it's not really set up to do from an official API yet, because the download link is generated and emailed to you (and then updated on the web). Would require a little bit of web crawling to automate currently.

@Bruce That will return what you see in the timeline, but not enough for a complete archive of your site (for example, not the text of long posts).

@manton @vboykis: This is the most terrifying page I’ve read all week. From Creativity, Inc. by Pixar’s Ed Catmull. twitter.com/vboykis/s...

@davereed That's an incredible story!

@manton Good update. I like what you’re doing with micro! Learned about it from Core Int.

@jef Thanks!

@manton micro.blog reminds me of how fun Twitter was in 2008 (before things got mean over there). Thanks for making this service.

@jef Thank you!
