Micro.blog for iOS was updated today with some improvements and fixes. Here’s a quick demo video of the new uploads search for Micro.blog Premium subscribers:

Jerry Chen

hmmm crosspost lost a bit here

James Manes

Hmm my search doesn’t work. Does this require AI functionality to be enabled?

Manton Reece

@jmanes Yes, for searching by keyword it uses the AI setting to index the photos. With AI disabled, the feature will work for matching other parts of the URL, though, for example searching by year or filename.

Shucks. Still doesn’t work with MT on my iPhone. Will the iOS app have support for Movable Type again in the future?

Manton Reece

@kimonostereo I’ve got a change for WordPress posting that should make it into the next release, so I’ll make sure to test MT after that change too. Sorry it’s still broken!

Jason Becker

looks great! I’d love that copy markdown option for the new post screen with images. I often don’t want the regular “attachment” style because my lightbox plugin uses a markdown render hook.

Manton Reece

@jsonbecker Good idea. I wonder if we can put that either in a long-press on the attached photo thumbnail before posting, or the accessibility text screen.

Manton Reece

@otaviocc Thanks. Because the text is auto-generated, I wasn’t sure about including it without the user being explicit about copying it, but it makes sense to make this easier.

Charles Perry

@manton Looks great! Congrats on shipping. 🚢

Manton Reece

@otaviocc That’s a good point.

Manton Reece

@ovr I’m leaning more and more to making that change so that the text is included everywhere automatically, but obviously could be edited.

Pedro Corá

@otaviocc +1 to what Otávio said!

Scott Yoshinaga

thank you! Hoping you’re able to figure out the issue. Maybe I’ll be able to post again from my phone 😀

I haven’t seen micro.blog / Cloudflare / Imunify360 error show up in my account feeds for a bit. Just wondering if you made a changes to fix?

Manton Reece

@kimonostereo I didn’t make any changes intentionally. Hopefully the error is gone for good!

Scott Yoshinaga

Ah! I spoke to soon! I’m seeing this in the logs for my feeds Feed: Unknown error 403 Forbidden, Net::HTTPForbidden.

I don’t see micro.blog being blocked on Cloudflare, but I did find this recent post about CF and Imunify360. Is there a way to see what micro.blog encounters when trying to get to my feed? Maybe that could help me figure out if it’s possible to fix with my current hosting company or any that use Imunify360.
