This site is hosted at https://micro.blog, a microblogging system for those who want to control their content. It’s reasonably priced, and even has an option for hosting micro podcasts. Micro.blog is super low-friction in terms of usage, making it easy to post your thoughts quickly.
You can:
- format your posts and pages with markdown
- cross post to Mastodon, Linkedin and others
- import Instagram
- make use of webmentions
- enjoy a social networking aspect, without likes and re-posts, just conversation
- use emojis as a new kind of tag
- keep a list of books you’re reading
- customize your blog design and use plugins to get extra functionality
You can even post directly from Ulysses (what I do), Drafts or Mars Edit.
I’m using Geometric Humanist and Rounded Sans from Modern Font Stacks as the type faces and “Tiny Theme” theme with mild customization.
