Launching Scribe, a clean editor for Micro.blog: mb.amitgawande.com

@amit Does it work with Android or only Apple?

@Ron It’s web-based – so works from everywhere :-)

@pimoore Thank you, Pete! The editor was one issue I was ignoring for quite some time. I recently realised that Micro.blog continues to work best for me overall. So I had to overcome this one drawback on my own for now.

@amit This looks nice. Will we have options on where to cross-post or categories to add after we hit Publish or does it straight go to your blog?

@pratik Yes. A quick addition is to support multiple categories – currently you can add one. Preferably as selection.

Of course, you can also select “Save as draft” during posting and it will create a draft post and will redirect you to the draft on Micro.blog.

@amit Congrats! This looks great.

@amit Oh this looks really really nice

@amit nice work just testing it out and I really like it!

@manton Thank you, Manton. A lot to add, but the writing interface is sorted.

@amit Very Nice!

@amit Worked well in my quick testing. My feature request: show the current blog hostname on the publish screen for people with multiple blogs so there won’t be any surprises. You can grab that from micropub?q=config.

@amit well done you. Looks cool

@timapple Sure, thank you Tim! Do give it a try and send issues if any :)

@Annie Thank you Annie! Glad you like it 👍🏽😊

@ericmwalk Nice! Thank you. I am glad you could test and are liking it. I myself have enjoyed it for the last couple of days :)

@Denny Thank you Denny! 👍🏽

@Munish Thank you Munish! Look wasn’t the intention, but glad you liked it 👍🏽😊

@manton Great! And thank you for the feature request. I wanted to use /micropub?q=config eventually for media endpoint. Great that I can fetch blog hostname from here. Is there any place where we document this?

@amit It’s mentioned briefly on this help page near the bottom. More docs would be good. It’s part of an extension to the Micropub spec so a little scattered in terms of examples.

@amit Congrats! 🙌 It’s such a nice experience to use, especially for longer form writing. And of course I love that it’s web-first.

I’m having trouble publishing but it was great that I was able to easily save the post locally. Are you open to folks reporting bugs?

@SimonWoods Great, thank you Simon. I am so glad you liked the experience. Export as markdown was one option I always wanted to provide. Good that it came handy.

I would love to look at the issue you face – do send the report. I will check and resolve.

And of course, the code is open too. Although, I haven’t cleaned it up a lot. So you can log the issues there too. @manton

@AndyNicolaides Thank you Andy! 👍🏽😊

@amit Thanks, a great choice!!

@amit I tried out Scribe and it worked great, first try!! I will keep using it going forward, as it looks powerful, but easy to use. Thanks for your help!

@Ron So glad it worked as expected in the first run Ron. Even I plan to use the interface for posting to my blog going ahead. I like it simple too 🙂

@Gaby thank you! 👍🏽😊

@amit Fantastic. Congratulations with the launch. Looking forward to trying it out.

@svbck Great. So glad you found it useful. Thank you! 🙂
