The Story of Mimi Uploader So Far samgrover.com
@samgrover Congrats on the four years! And as for the future, I think you already know what I have in mind ☺️ Mimi for Mac!
@samgrover congrats! It’s a great and very useful app.
What I would love to see is to be able to share photos to Mimi (from wherever you are). How is that for a feature request? 😊
@samgrover Congratulations on the four year anniversary. I’m very grateful for Mimi. No feature requests from me. My needs are simple.
@samgrover I love how you count the actual beginning, instead of the app release date. Congrats! Now, from my iPhone, it's my primary choice for handling photos for Micro.blog; I use it for something as simple as a single image through to multiple upload options.
I'll happily add my support for the "share from anywhere" request. Also, I had no idea it could get images into replies; maybe if there was a way to prompt that from within the app? Though I know that can be a difficult problem to solve.
Lastly, it would be cool if you could prompt the app to check for accessibility descriptions on existing uploads and if any are missing it then automatically offers up the feature... like you would with an onboarding process, if that makes sense?
@SimonWoods Thanks! By the way, accessibility descriptions are not attached to uploads. The two are combined when composing a post. In fact, the same upload can have a different descriptions on different posts.
@samgrover Thanks for sharing the story of Mimi Sam. I think that Mimi deserves a special place of recognition in the history of micro.blog. Honestly, Mimi's ability to so easily send several photos to my blog for a post was a huge game changer for me. It is what made me realize that micro.blog wasn't limited to "micro". It was part of what got me to merge my entire blog into micro.blog, and consolidate everything on this platform. I still use it anytime I need to upload more than a couple of photos. (Particularly since the official app has become very unreliable for photo uploads… ping @manton). Mimi always works.
For what it’s worth, I would happily pay $6 to $20/year for a subscription. I use it that much. I don't know that that would make it a sustainable product though.
My biggest wish is that it handled RAW files. When I shoot in RAW Mimi doesn't even show the files as an option to upload.
I would again put a vote of support for a micro.blog community fund. To me that is the kind of thing that would be great to support Mimi. I think folks like @mtt and others would benefit from such a thing too…
@jthingelstad Thanks for the reminder about the community fund. I still like that idea. And congrats @samgrover, great to see all the people who enjoy using Mimi Uploader.
@jthingelstad Thanks! It's great to hear/read your thoughts on this. And I especially appreciate support for a potential sustainable model, although I would clarify that I'm currently not thinking along those lines. On RAW, I have partial support done. Need to update some UI to support it. Will let you know when that's in beta!
