I’ve recorded a short 2-minute video to show how we’ve updated Micro.blog’s editor layout for blog theme templates. Simpler, faster. You can find it on YouTube here.

This is awesome Manton.

@jagibson Thanks!

@pratik I’m going to try to add an icon so you can tell the difference, but in the new version the idea is that you shouldn’t need to worry about that as much. If you edit a template, it makes a new copy seamlessly for you. If you delete it, it reverts back to the default.

@pratik It won’t be named differently, but now you’ll only see the new version. So you shouldn’t be able to accidentally edit the wrong one anymore.

Oh that’s great. And I really loved the callout at the end! 😃

great work and that CSS preview is just lovely! I’m wondering how tricky it would be to get preview working dynamically before one hits update - might be useful. Probably too much effort for small gains.
