The Sustainability of Theme Development on Micro.blog mattlangford.com

@Mtt I definitely think MB could support you in some small way with the suggestions you make. Your themes are a very positive aspect of using this platform and add significant quality of life to hosted sites. Thank you for continuing to support them. And best wishes for your loved ones

@Mtt Nice suggestions to improve Micro.blog to theme developers!!

@Mtt Thank you for the work you've done on Micro.blog and do take care of those other priorities.

@manton That’s really generous. I definitely appreciate it. Thanks for reading!

@Mtt Happy to. Related, I think we need to update the plug-in directory to better highlight themes, including a way to preview your blog with a theme. I was thinking about giving everyone a special subdomain like username-preview.micro.blog for this. Suggestions welcome.

@Mtt Dunno how I missed this post. Also, realizing I'm not following this account on Mastodon. Now fixed.

​I really appreciate your contributions to Micro.blog and your requests are very reasonable. I wish there were other way for you to monetize. I see it as completely fair to offer paid themes/plugins. The verification of plugins is a good idea (not sure if Manton wants to set up a Micro.blog App Store).

@manton I love that idea. The only thing I’d (potentially) add is default dummy content. But I could see pros and cons of that.

@Mtt All the best to your family members and thanks so much for your great theme(s) 😍.

@esamecar Thank you!

@pratik Thanks! Manton and the Micro.blog community have been great. No better place!

@manton so happy to read this. @Mtt ‘s themes and microhooks are an integral part of the Micro.blog experience for me. So he deserves every appreciation token he gets.
