@manton Great idea!
@manton Love this.
@manton What a fantastic feature! Love the idea and will be interesting to see if it catches on and what other categories you might expand to.
@manton AWESOME addition
@manton Super excited about this!
@manton This is fantastic! Nice work. 👍🏻
@manton this is awesome! Great idea.
Great idea for the use of emojis @manton - though I had to look up the Control–Command–Space shortcut for the macOS Character Viewer so that I'll be able to make use of it away from iOS!
@TheDimPause I use a little app called Rocket on my Mac that makes this really easy. You can type a colon and start typing the name, just like in some apps (e.g. Slack) to find an emoji. Rocket makes it work in any text field on your Mac.
@bsn Thanks! I might include a couple of these other book variations to mean the same thing. The open book emoji is nice too.
@belle Thanks for the tip - I’ll take a look!
@manton I like this feature. Looking forward to more. In the future, I will definitely be using this when I write my quick book reviews.
@manton I realized one of the nifty things about using emoji is that you don't have to worry about localization on the post-collecting end; you can just look for the emoji and every language will start appearing in the topic list as those languages and their posts start appearing on Micro.blog. Well done!
@manton And now I am seriously reconsidering using Goodreads at all. See, this is what happens when you say "Open web is best." and then actually follow through with your actions. Thanks for continuing to set a great example.
@simonmumbles Thank you. I've only recently started using Goodreads and may still use it to track my book list, but ignore the social aspects of it. I think using 📚 on Micro.blog works better than a separate friends list for me.
@manton I've always been on-and-off with Goodreads, much like with every other social network tbh. The way in which Micro.blog stops the depth of features from becoming cruft hits the exact spot for me; the social layer is implemented in such a way that it doesn't comprimise the ownership side of things.
I suppose I might go back to social networks but I doubt it'll ever be more than via cross-posting and just to signal boost, if at all.
Uh... yeah, so I further approve I guess. Heh.
