November 9th

Hello & happy Micro Monday!

Now that the excitement (and sugar high!😅) of Halloween has come & gone, we are settling into cozier side of the season. The colors outside are getting warmer while the temperatures are dropping & wow, it’s just a lovely time of year!

This week brings World Kindness Day on November 13 and with Thanksgiving just around the corner for those of us in the US, we’re looking forward to seeing more gratitude & gathering - around the table & beyond + your adventures in the kitchen over the next few weeks. 🙏 Seriously, please tell us about your pies!

Speaking of Halloween, if you haven’t had a chance to explore Micro.blog’s Micro.boo, there’s still time! Photos from the spooky season will continue to appear there, so be sure to take a peek🫣.

We’ve loved seeing the gorgeous autumn colors you’ve been sharing, & we’ve gathered a few below. But first, let’s check in with Manton to see what he has been working on..

Lots of app updates recently!

Micro.blog for iOS and Android now lets you schedule blog posts from your phone. Set a date in the options screen while writing, or tap and hold on a draft and choose “Schedule.”

Micro.blog 4.3.2 for Mac adds Markdown highlighting and previews for private notes, along with fixes to creating and syncing notes. You can also right-click a draft post and choose “Convert to Note” to save it as a private note.

And on the web, the notes editor is better, using the same Markdown highlighting as the regular blog post editor.

We’ve updated Epilogue for iOS and Android with improved pages for book and movie posts. You can now read the text of a review without opening a browser. Epilogue 2.8 is just generally much faster to use too.

Check out the new Epilogue website: epilogue.micro.blog

So, how are you leaning into the season? We’d love to see what’s cooking in your kitchen, learn about your favorite seasonal recipes, or the little things you’re feeling grateful for. And with World Kindness Day just around the corner, how will you celebrate? Is there a kindness you’ve received that you’d love to pass along?

As always, thank you for sharing your world with us. Wishing you a cozy week full of warmth & kindness!
