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.
