Not trying to overhype this but I’m so excited about what we’re going to launch in Micro.blog next month. It’s coming along really well and expanding beyond what I first thought it would look like. Meanwhile the everyday stuff continues too, working on fixes and servers this week.

@ner3y Nope! 🙂 Usually I try to be transparent and just blog about everything we're doing, but this one can wait until we're ready.

@maique Thanks! Sort of related, I know you disabled the Micro.blog photos CDN after getting burned with downtime, but I recommend trying it again. It really is a lot faster now.

@manton Really? I can try that again, yes. The downtime made crossposting fail, that was my main issue with it. Posts were going out with no photos. Turning that on again next, thanks for the heads up.

@maique Got it, that's good to know. I think we need a better strategy for cross-posting issues... Right now, it tries multiple times to attach a photo and if it fails, it sends as text-only, but that's obviously problematic. If we had a "retry this" button that would give more control in case of errors.

@ner3y Noooo, don't do that!

@manton That would be awesome. Right now there’s really no way to fix things, if they fail. Just go to wherever it tried to post to, and delete. First couple of times I just added photos by hand, but that got old quick, especially when the way M.b does it is brilliant to start with. With CDN off, I never had this issue.

@manton @numericcitizen Right now I've already given up a Snickers bar. I don't know how much longer I can manage...

@manton Well then, that's on you. When I lose weight like crazy and am no longer overweight.

Live with it!

If @manton is teasing a feature and not divulging anything about it, I expect to have my socks knocked off by it. Looking forward to seeing what it is. Don’t let us down, Manton… 😁

@darrenhester Micro.blog always gets updated from time to time with larger releases once in a while. Having a direct line (via Micro.blog, not his phone number, mind you!) with @manton is cool!

@maique @manton I've disabled CDN too since now I post to Glass which gets pulled into Micro.blog via RSS and then is cross-posted to Mastodon and Pixelfed. Phew! But working great so far with infrequent delays but not too bad.

@pratik I do exactly the same workflow but CDN still enabled. Am I doing something wrong?

@jason One of these I should probably just register that, even as a joke. 🙂

@numericcitizen Nope. My not using CDN is for photos hosted on Micro.blog. But I’m hoping Micro.blog downloads the linked photo from my Glass-imported posts and uploads them to Micro.blog. So that way I have everything in one place and Glass is in fact the defacto backup. I love posting on Glass for its nice UI design and interactions.
