Only Apple publishes a new blog without a link to an RSS feed, but it does have one at /feed.xml. Built with Jekyll.

Moved Ulysses on iOS to my home screen now that I’ve had a chance to test out the Dropbox support with my 1k+ notes folder. Working well.
→ 2017/07/19 10:06 am Congrats to Panic on shipping Transmit 5. I just updated. Really nice new version.
→ 2017/07/18 3:40 pm Started to document third-party Micropub apps we’ve tested, like Quill and Omnibear.
→ 2017/07/18 8:46 am Enjoyed watching a bunch of NBA Summer League, including most of the Spurs games and yes, Lonzo Ball. Can’t wait for the preseason. 🏀
→ 2017/07/17 10:51 pm Relieved to see the repeal vote won’t proceed for now. Every day of delay is a day closer to 2018. This is a nice list of where all the senators stand, with quotes.
→ 2017/07/17 8:54 pm I’ve been so happy with my messenger bag that I ordered Tom Bihn’s Aeronaut 45 for travel. It arrived today. Looks perfect.
→ 2017/07/17 2:15 pm Micro.blog for iOS version 1.0.2 was approved and should be in your Updates tab. iPad keyboard shortcuts and a few fixes.
→ 2017/07/17 11:48 am We fixed Markdown blockquote formatting yesterday for hosted sites. Hoping to experiment more with quoting as a “repost” alternative.
→ 2017/07/17 11:11 amSSL for hosted Micro.blog sites
Micro.blog’s business model is pretty simple. If you want Micro.blog to host a new microblog for you, or use the Twitter cross-posting with an existing site, there’s a small monthly subscription. We want Micro.blog to be the easiest way to start a blog.
Included in all Micro.blog-hosted microblogs is support for custom domain names, so that you can map yourname.com to your blog. While we’ve always supported SSL for the default yourname.micro.blog hostnames, custom domains need their own SSL certificate. Managing SSL certificates is a hassle, and until recently, also expensive.
I’m happy to announce that we are now rolling out free SSL hosting for custom domains, powered by Let’s Encrypt. While it’s not fully automated yet, we’ve already started enabling these for customers as requested. If you have a Micro.blog-hosted blog with a custom domain, email help@micro.blog and we’ll enable SSL on your site.
There are more features coming for hosted blogs leading up to the public launch of Micro.blog. Don’t forget to sign up on the launch announce list.
It’s too easy to blame distractions for lack of productivity. Then you have a big stretch of uninterrupted time — as I have right now — and actually have to finish something. No excuses.

→ 2017/07/16 12:33 pmCore Intuition Jobs shutting down
A few years ago, Daniel and I launched Core Intuition Jobs, a site for companies to post job listings for Mac and iOS developers. It was a really nice success. At one point I thought we might even focus more time on it, and expand it with a companion site of resources to help developers.
Fast forward a year or two, though, and it became clear that without that attention, the site couldn’t just coast along. New listings were becoming more infrequent. The site needed marketing and regular improvements, just like any product.
And worse, while the whole point was to build something just for Cocoa developers, the site would still sometimes receive job listings for Java or Python developers, for example, and we’d need to refund the listing and remove it from the site. It wasn’t a lot of maintenance, but it was enough that we had to decide whether to put more work into the site or focus on our main podcast and other projects.
This week we decided it was time to move on. Existing job listings will continue to run until they expire. No new jobs are being accepted.
Thanks to all the companies who used Core Intuition Jobs. Now when we are asked about other places to post jobs, we’re pointing people to the email newsletters iOS Dev Weekly and This Week in Swift, as well as Core Intuition podcast sponsorships. Good luck to everyone looking for a new job!
Posted episode 289 of Core Int. We talk more about the MarsEdit beta, next iPhone, and a listener question.

→ 2017/07/14 3:20 pm Sent an update to Kickstarter backers announcing the App Store version of Micro.blog, friend invites, and recent progress.

No matter what happens, the 2016 election loss cannot be undone. But these Donald Jr. emails look really bad. Seems textbook collusion.
→ 2017/07/11 2:33 pm Good progress catching up on email today, and support questions. Probably should know by now to carve out time every morning for this.
→ 2017/07/10 3:11 pm Rolled out more Micro.blog tweaks over the weekend. Better photo cross-posting, lots of little edge cases taken care of.
