Ordered my first Day One printed book. Still have some work to consolidate my hand-written journal to digital, then will be ordering a couple more.

@manton Have you ever thought about a Micro.blog export-to-print feature?

@manton I’m reading your book online, and I’m wondering what app or platform you’re using.

@drwalt The book online is actually a Micro.blog-hosted blog! Except without the blog. Each chapter is a page and there’s a custom theme for the table of contents. I wrote it in Ulysses so each chapter is Markdown and renders well in Micro.blog.

@staticmade.com I’ve thought about it but it’s too ambitious for me to pull off right now. We do have export from blog to Day One, though.

@manton No way! And the link at the bottom is to the next page!

@drwalt Yep, and the next page link is automatic too. I want to share the details of how this works sometime for anyone else to use.

@manton One more question: what plan is necessary to do such a thing?

@drwalt The standard Micro.blog plan or higher. That level of customization just doesn’t work on Micro.one.

@manton Please do! I have two books that I’d like to make available free online, and I’ve been trying to figure out how best to do that.

@manton My Day One journals are not remotely close to print-ready. Do you work on the posts/entries as you write, or have you done a retrospective curation/edit?

@jatowler Oh, these are not intended to actually be read by anyone until many years from now, maybe after I’m gone. I like having an extra print backup too. So it’s okay if they aren’t perfectly written.
