🆕📝 I’m switching from Raindrop to Apple Notes for saving my shopping links

It sounds inconsequential, but I think it's going to make an outsized difference. I've been toying with the idea of 2025 being The Year of Small Improvements, and this plays nicely with that theme.

@jarrod Thank you for pointing out the RSS feeds. I had long forgotten about this feature.

@manton @help I experimented with it a bit and the result was sobering: Micro.blog creates a post with a title, an image if available, and the text, but without linking to the external content. Unfortunately unusable.

Currently experimenting with Raindrop and EchoFeed.

BTW: Does an entry from an embedded RSS feed generate an entry in the timeline?

@thosch EchoFeed seems like the right choice for that. So you can better format how you want the post to appear on the timeline.

@thosch @jarrod Micro.blog assumes the posts are something you wrote, so I can see how this might not be quite right with Raindrop feeds. It would be better to integrate this with our bookmarks feature. We already have Raindrop import there, but a one-time import, not an automatic thing.

@thosch We have timeline sync in the API but so far, no apps support it. Still want to add it to the official apps eventually.

@manton I meant sync for bookmarks.

@thosch Oh, sorry, I lost the thread. Yes, it should be possible to expand our current Raindrop support. Are you thinking mostly to Micro.blog or also sending bookmarks from Micro.blog to Raindrop?

@manton Ifyou ask both way would be fine, but I thought about Raindrop.io -> Micro.blog.

I would be nice, but without a high priority.

@manton PESOS, as I learned today…
