@maique interesting read. get well soon! btw someday you must tell me how to put this "Conversation on Micro.blog" at the end of a post.

@esamecar It's a plugin. Take a look here.

edit: feel free to ping if you need any help :)

@maique I'd be curious to read more about the packing plans. Not only because I like packing plans, but because I'd like to visit one day. The place seems crazy beautiful.

@esamecar As @pcora said, both conversation and reply by mail are plugins available on the plugin directory 🙂 Easy 🙂

@pcora It is beautiful, let’s start there. The big island is ok, but the smaller one is really something out of this world. Half of it is a unesco biosphere reserve, more endemic species by area than the Galapagos, … truly a unique place.

As far as packing, what would you like to know. We could start with the 15Kg limit on the internal flight, and the fact that you might be willing to pay extra to carry a bit more, but that will not guarantee you’ll be able to.

Usually that would even be ok, we could pack lighter and get whatever’s missing on the other end, but there’s nowhere to buy most things 🤣

@pcora Thank you so much! I even went through the plugins several times before and still missed it. That's my biggest problem with @manton 's micro.blog for me personally anyway. I often get lost as it is still confusing for me where to find what and above all I don't understand the location of many settings / features. For example, what does a domain name or the GitHub repository have to do with design? 🤔

@esamecar Yep, Design makes no sense, I'll admit! The backstory: it used to be called "Domains and Design", then we simplified it to help people find themes, thinking the other settings would move somewhere else. Probably need something like "Blog settings", which is really what it is.

@manton Yes, that would clarify a lot I guess. And, for me as a new user, it was difficult at first to figure out what, and above all why, falls under "design" or counts towards account. I think there is a distinction between "service-wide" settings and blog-based settings. However, I suspect that most people only have one here, right? Last but not least I think the search for plugins sections needs a "other plugin" section. There are a lot of themes in the overall list and it is only possible to detect that a plugin is a theme by reading its description. Therefore, non-theme plugins are hard to discover. (Or mark themes with a prominent "theme sticker".)

@esamecar I like the sticker idea. Thanks!

@esamecar @manton Some great ideas here! I'd not paid much attention but agree with your critique/suggestions.
