12 days of microblogging: linkblogging

Micro.blog adds a Markdown link back to the original post with the web page title. Or if there’s text selected, Micro.blog includes that text as a quote.

Good. But wish it included the Markdown link irrespective of text selection. @manton

@amit so you didn’t had to add the link, correct? Just the sharing extension after selecting the text being quoted ?

@Gaby I copied the text, then shared the link via extension and pasted the text as quote. I wish share extension did both - a copy paste will be saved.

@amit @manton +1 from me because the quote has no context otherwise. To make it right I have to share without quoting to get the link then go back and copy/paste from source if I want to quote. It’s needlessly fiddly.

@patrickrhone @amit I thought about the same thing as I was writing this. I actually thought it did work that way. Hopefully it's something we can fix.
