I’m noticing some new faces and some returning customers. Means a lot to me. From Pedro:
I went elsewhere for a while. I tried other services, they are fine. But they don’t come close to what Micro.blog offer.
@manton Micro.one was at the right price point at this point of life. While I have been using various static site building platforms in the past, what made your platform jump ahead from the rest was how well focused it is on the one thing. A lot of others try to do “everything” for every kind of frameworks, but that often leads to a lot more confusing user experience. Micro.blog “just works” for the core usage. Also, I really value people who build services as a small company.
@d2s Thank you! That’s good to hear, because I know we do a lot, but try really hard to not let the extra stuff clutter the core user experience.
@manton Nice! I feel the same way. This is exactly the flow and experience I want for what I do. I almost switched to a self-hosted Hugo setup a while back but I realized I’d still have the same blog, only without all the quality of life things Micro.blog adds.
@manton interesting. I also gave it another shot, but with a new username and most of the time in German language. But yeah, I also keep coming back.
@manton I I’m one of those. I’ve been doing a lot of posting on X and Instagram because that’s where my main community is, but I have a certain “style” when I post over there. I miss posting as myself (if that makes sense), and came back over here to do just that.
