I should probably write a long blog post (on my main blog) about why I lost interest in micro.blog 😕

Briefly:

• editor is so annoying (see picture below where cursor is in the middle of the character)
• posts are too short to serve as future documentation / tutorial
• lack of proper Markdown editor
• not clear how to insert multiple images and how to alternate text with images
• no way to know if your posts are being read or not (I don’t even know if people appreciate what I write… I don’t know if they are sharing my post somewhere else)
• completely zero engagement (it’s like shouting against a wall)
• editor is so annoying (no, not an accidental duplicate. I hate it so much and it takes me ages to write a post, especially because of the but I’ve already explained which makes me write wrong chars)

Putting @manton in CC, maybe he can take some inspiration for future development.

Trying to brush up a couple of things today:

• Watching a few existing talks about a subject I would like to give a talk about (no spoilers yet!)
• Reading documentation about VSCode extensions for an idea I have (at least I found a good name!)

All of this while I try to relax after a nice day where I also trained my dog a little bit 🐶

After nearly 3 weeks off, I’m finally back to work. Weather is awful and it won’t be easy to manage my puppy (I recently got a Basset Hound!) because he won’t stay quiet inside the house.

Let’s see how it goes!
