Also restored non-artsy-fartsied images to Chord Finder … which I really oughta get around to writing about one day … it makes Perpetual Groove look like a calculator app.

Restored the non-artsy-fartsied screenshots and video to my post about Perpetual Groove

A peek at the old app I rebuilt using SwiftUI for sh$ts and giggles.

I see what you did here @manton, smart

I’ll take self-fulfilling prophecies for $200 (RIP Mr. Trebek).

Dammit, now that I have noticed Hugo generates lists for posts by year (i.e. moondeer.blog/2020/) I bet Imma end up making more freakin’ banners…

If I could write the logic in Swift I’d be done already.

(눈_눈)

I suppose it wouldn’t take much to make my Hugo theme actually useable for others. Just moving some hardcoded stuff to the parameters portion of config.json. That and replacing some of the logic where navigation menu items are concerned.

Previous post via Ulysses. Entirely painless process for the straightforward content. We’ll see how it handles shortcodes.

Lest anyone think Apple wouldn’t make you jump through hoops to get to that underlying HTML.

Okay, fine, Apple. I can view an RSS feed’s underlying XML by rolling my own shortcut for this purpose. But, seriously, should this have been necessary (same goes for underlying HTML, fellas)?

(And I am still mad at you Tumblr, for harshing my mellow use of ‘’).

The irony of Gluon is that I can’t upload the videos, or use my shortcode to make the video giffish … but once the post is there the video displays brilliantly within the timeline (which, of course is not the Micro.blog standard).

Congrats @manton, you are officially more sophisticated than Tumblr. I decided to add the video I just posted to the Tumblr cross-post, Tumblr is literally all “that’s too big bud,” so I download the video you compressed for me to upload to Tumblr.

With folks like me craving GIF behavior with quality imagery … and platforms avoiding the embrace of muted, looped video sans controls … would a new format meeting both criteria not be warranted?

I have noticed IndieWeb Webring traffic beginning to trickle (versus nonexistent).

Cool thing about iOS Shortcuts, if Apple would get out their own way I could write the additional functionality I require out of a Micro.blog client into the freakin’ share sheet (which I actually did before abandoning Twitter, could pick one of my threads out of Safari, pick the tweets I wanted to include, take care of last second edits, and upload that MFer).

So … yeah … about the Gluon app:

The suck)

• Uploads limited to photo library
• Zero shortcode support

The great)

• Damn near everything else

(Still may just roll my own when I run out of things to do so I have a one-stop shop)

So … yeah … not only can the coding capable get a Micro.blog hosted site setup practically however TF they please, with Textastic and Working Copy you can do it all on a ruby red iPhone 12 mini.

(throw Brushstroke and a pinch of creativity into the mix, it will even look cool AF).

This could be cool (although I am not holding my breath with regard to the process playing nice with my shortcodes).

Ok, fine, I was too quick to jump on Medium with regard to the UTM tags (but the profile still looks like sh$te compared to the Tumblr design).

GDit, unicode went and embraced emojis while I wasn’t looking. These little f$&kers are tiny as f$&k, god-awful eyesores, and the f$&king contrast creates legitimate legibility issues. Be f$&king better world consortiums.

Tumblr’s list of brokenness thus far is limited to whatever TF they are passing off as a font. The highlighted character is .

Seems like Medium doesn’t even want to respect the UTM parameters I stuck in my links. Tumblr is still mostly meeting my expectations as a cross-posting target.

Be better Siri (having a webpage is kinda prerequisite, and listed as the shortcut's input (－‸ლ)

Seriously, WTF , just let me look at the GD XML, I am fully f$&king capable of reading RSS without a GD app.
