I’m at the point with using the development version of Micro.blog 2.0 that I can’t stand that other people don’t have access to this yet. We’ll be coming up with a release plan soon.

@manton Looking forward to it.

@manton when you say 2.0, do you mean the app or “the service”?

@manton 😀 We probably can’t stand it either! 😂

@Burk Both, although I was really thinking of the web version. The service and apps will all be updated at the same time.

@manton Neat! I spent my weekend playing with the micropub API (wanted to publish posts with images straight from emacs), will there be new stuff coming up on that side of things?? I’d love to be able to update posts via the API.

@manton If it’s anything like sunlit, than I’ll happily wait for it to come when it is ready.

@giov Yes, the API supports updating posts now, although it’s not documented well outside of the Micropub spec. Here’s an example of what the POST body looks like.

@manton brilliant :) looking forward to check out 2.0

@manton Any changes we should look forward to?

@manton spread the love Manton… 👏

@pratik Not quite ready to announce the changes but we’ll be sharing more soon. I’ll be blogging about it and hopefully making some videos too.

@manton I’m intrigued. 😁

@manton …. soooon.

@manton So excited!

@manton That’s exciting.

@manton Ah, the itch to share! Can’t wait to see what you’ve been working on.

@manton I cannot find a way to link to any @nueh posts because there is no way to find the canonical M.b URL for that account’s posts. Could you create a way to find those URLs?

@cdevroe Yeah, that one is tricky because there are no permalinks in the feed. In those cases we probably should have a Conversation link on all posts even when there are no replies yet. (Conversation links are username + “/” + post ID, which you can see when viewing source on the “Reply” link.)

@cdevroe @manton It would be a bit of a shame, though, to have an extra link for a non-existent Conversation; right now that is a nice, minimal space, with only buttons that are active rather than passive. Sometimes I find it encouraging, not only is there a chance that nobody else has discovered this post but I also haven’t missed out on the conversation, so to speak.

@simonwoods @manton The published date always being a link directly to the post seems like he way to go. Right now (correct me if I’m wrong) that link can either be a link to M.b URL or their own domain.

@cdevroe @manton It is to the original post, yep, which I like rather than a timeline link. Maybe if there was a “timeline” link which was then converted into “conversation” as soon as there is a reply? IDK that sounds awkward…
