Been a few months since I went on micro.blog. I’m still wondering what setup I should have when writing long-form posts here. When I’m on my PC, I default to the micro.blog site. It’s fine if I’m just writing all text, but if I want to insert any images within my post, I feel some friction 😅 Still trying ... chisenires.design

@chiawase It's not very straightforward, no. It gets considerably better if you use an app. A few out there will allow for a much nicer workflow (Ulysses, IA Writer,...). I'm still very partial to Mimi + Drafts, so I'll just upload all the photos I'm using with the phone, save the whole thing on Drafts, and write around it. Not perfect, but I'm used to it.

@maique I've used IA Writer in the past, though from what I've gathered, it's now a paid app, and I don't do a lot of writing yet to I guess justify paying it even if it is a one-time purchase 😅

Now checking the price of Mimi compared to iA Writer... seems like that's something I'll consider eventually. I've been taking lots of photos or like uploading lots of photos when posting lately and Mimi + Drafts could be what would work for on the fly stuff... 🤔

@sunlit works so far for me to post stuff for this photoblogging challenge. Maybe I could also try it out when I'm posting a lot of photos + writing long form posts? 🤔

Just noticed the "New Section" thing, haven't really explored this yet, maybe I'll try it out when I'm sharing photos of my Thailand trip. 😁

@maique yeah, I like the fact that it just shows the Markdown for the images immediately, and you just edit as if you're writing a markdown post. I'll keep this in mind if ever I find the want to change things up a bit with how I post things 😆
