Thoughts on micro.blog
Not gonna lie, I’m enjoying it.
It’s somewhat janky behind the scenes (as expected, it’s a small team of developers after all), but it works pretty great in syndicating posts (or cross-posting) to other networks without requiring plugins or manual modifications. More than that, it exports the whole blog as Markdown (ready to be used with Hugo if you want to) or in HTML (great for archival purposes). I’m seriously thinking about moving my blog here just because of that, as despite really liking the WordPress CMS for blogging, it effectively locks you within its system with an export that seems pretty hard to clean up and use elsewhere, and the IndieWeb plugins don’t make up for it, even if they work great.
