Because my thinking-out-loud about news headlines in Micro.blog went over so well, for my next trick I’m planning to go into hardware: Micro.phone will have a really small screen.

@manton Ha! I could not make my response to the "News" idea and @Denny's and other's thoughts short enough so I wrote this: How I Think About Micro.blog // Patrick Rhone

@manton Great idea! :)

@manton Can you somehow deliver this to consumers at a sub $2,000 price point?

@manton 1 μm by 1 μm?

@manton I though "Micro.phone" would be the hardware which runs Wavelength for recording and publishing podcasts.

@manton and half of the screen is a news tickers 🤣

@manton I vote for Teenage Engineering to do the hardware 😋

@Annie Oh, I’d nearly forgotten about those!

@Bruce Exactly. 🙂

@otaviocc It took me a minute to get that! Nicely done.

@otaviocc This is brilliant. Maybe @manton can compete with the big wigs like Rhode & Shure microphones. 🤣

@manton Displaying one letter at a time 🥳

@manton Yes!

@patrickrhone This is the exact same essay I wanted to write but didn’t have the time for in the middle of the workday. Thank you for thoughtfully expressing this idea so well.

@gregmoore Thanks for the kind feedback and reading.

@manton Now you’re just teasing us iPhone mini lovers! 😝
