@manton 🎉 Awesome! I love the integration mindset of blog first; it just makes sense.
Also, that's the second time in the space of a week you made my life a lot easier. 🍻
@manton ... although, I can't see the tab in the sidebar. Is there a gradual roll-out or should it be live now?
@manton This is amazing. I’m not sure it works for me — because I’ve been using different domains for Micro.blog and (for now) Substack. But I’ll certainly take a closer look. And thanks for the work you’ve put into it.
@manton This is so cool! Glad to see Micro.blog entering the fray here. The micro-post batching is pretty cool too. Congrats on the release!
@JacekWislocki Can you email help@micro.blog and I’ll update your account? Thanks!
@manton Instant plan upgrade to Premium! Can't wait to try it out and write a quick review post about it!
@numericcitizen Thank you!
@manton 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
@Cheri Yep, on the 1st. If there’s interest we may make that configurable later. I’ve started documenting some other details in this help page and I’ll update it with anything I’ve missed based on questions.
@manton This is really cool, I just upgraded. Monthly by catagory is nice, since we can have a newsletter catagory and not include some of the nonsense that may be posted also. But monthly, that could still be a really long email. Weekly by catagory would be nice also if possible in the future. Thanks for all the hard work.
@manton Instant upgrade for me.
First enhancement request:
Make those 3 options checkboxes instead of radio buttons. That way they can get long posts, weekly roundup of X, and monthly roundup of Y.
@toddgrotenhuis I imagine all those party-whistles at the same time, and then think “wuwuzela”.
@toddgrotenhuis Thank you! We could make this more flexible in the future. Wanted to start with something that solved a lot of common scenarios in (hopefully) a clear way.
@manton One last thing, it seems the preview is only for the every post with a tilte option..I think? But a way to see what our weekly or monthly looks like so far so we can change our mind on adding or subtracting things throughout the month maybe? Sorry, don't want to give you more work, ignore me and chill..lol
@manton Awesome news! Great idea!
I would love to have the option to send category based newsletters out weekly.
So as an example I could have a newsletter with all the Tesla or EV news in the last week.
@brucegodin Thanks!
@manton Excellent! 😃
When you enable email newsletters, Micro.blog also adds a special email address that will be the “from” address for any emails sent for your blog. Your subscribers can reply to your email and Micro.blog will forward the text to you, without having to make your real email address public.
@manton This is a phenomenal feature!
@manton Wow, this is brilliant. An instant subscribe for me. Plus it is so close to what I wanted from such a feature. I can finally move all my posting to Micro.blog 👍🏽👏🏽
Also, as others have said @Cheri, @frostedechoes and @timapple have requested, I would love to have a category-based option for weekly (for that matter, for long posts too). This will help keep newsletter posts separate by category :-)
@manton Is there a way to bring over existing subscribers from another newsletter short of subscribing them one-by-one?
@kimberlyhirsh @amit Nope, not yet. We will add an import but I wanted to have a little more experience with real-world use first.
@frostedechoes Thanks, I’ll look at improving that soon.
@manton - nicely done, Thankyou.
Seconding @frostedechoes request to better manage appearance of blockquote.
Extending that thought … full control over style of email.
@manton @frostedechoes
i see on a computer versus a phone - the blockquote distinction is a lot more obvious.
@manton I don't know if I'll ever use it, but the extensions you offer for Micro.blog are fantastic! Thanks for your great work.
@manton @help Currently, I host two blogs on Micro.blog - one for my short posts and the other for my photos. To use the newsletter subscription photo, do I have to upgrade both to Premium? Currently, I'm more interested in the weekly option for my photos but was thinking if I activate it for my short posts too, I may use it differently than how I do now. But I don't want to double my subscription fees for now.
@JohnPhilpin @frostedechoes Looks like this varies between clients too... I'm going to add more of an inset by default and also make the CSS customizable.
@manton @JohnPhilpin @frostedechoes It does vary between clients. To the point I was confused by the observations, since it looks fine on my primary client.
@manton MARVY!!! Thankyou
