    @aaronpk I can't even fathom how I could add that just by putting some markup in the site header or whatever, but I look forward to finding out.

    @aaronpk I don't see the screenshot, but I will devour this article.

    I'm not sure what happened, I thought micro.blog allows photos, but here's a link: https://aaronparecki.com/2018/04/19/28/

    @aaronpk Well that I can certainly do, but what is it? What does it do?

    @aaronpk Oh yeah, Squarespace has all the Legos a basic grown-up's website needs, but I can't, say, extend it to publish to or from some API. It's the from part that's particularly impossible. There's no way for me to get stuff into my site other than Squarespace's way.

    Aaron Parecki
    Oh also, if you can add a bit of custom html to your website then you too can use a Microsub reader like mine!

    @aaronpk Sorry, I was euphemistically referring to Squarespace, because they advertise on every podcast, and I was ashamed to name them. I have gone the "let me pay you to take care of this for me" route.

    Aaron Parecki
    That is to say, being indie just means being in control, and not being tied to a specific service. It's totally not about hosting everything in a server in your house or anything!

    Doesn't matter where you host your website as long as you have your own domain name! I didn't even realize your website was hosted there! And if you want, you can change where it's hosted and I wouldn't have to do anything different to access it.

    @aaronpk Yeah, I love what you're building there. My main problem with fully participating in the indie world is that my website is incredibly not-indie. I have given myself over to a certain prolific podcast advertiser for that. It's hard to resist.

    Aaron Parecki
    wait what does podcast advertising have to do with your website not being indie? I see you have your own domain name, and one for your podcast! That's how it starts!

    @aaronpk I start at 3 to 4 minutes and edit down to zero.

    @aaronpk Well most of the plug-and-play ones in the App Store don't; they build compatibility with whatever hip new web service has come out recently, and if it has special features, they add settings. I'm pretty into the idea of a local client that can sync its entire state.

    Aaron Parecki
    That's actually how I read and reply to things in micro.blog now. I wrote more about it here, and there's another article about it coming out tomorrow! https://aaronparecki.com/2018/03/12/17/building-an-indieweb-reader

    We've gotta get more apps on board with Microsub! It's like an RSS reader syncing service except you own the service, and you can also reply to things directly from it!

    Transcribing the Micro Monday Microcast is very eye-opening. I recommend doing the free trial at Trint and processing one of your recordings to really learn the verbal tics you have! 🤐

    Aaron Parecki
    oh gosh I could never do that. That's why I edit mine so heavily before I publish! I edit out partial words and gaps of silence and other stuff I can't stand. That's also why I can only manage to publish 3-4 minutes at a time!

    @colinwalker Yeah, that would do it.

    Aaron Parecki
    This is exactly why I'm bullish on the idea of separating the subscriptions and feed parsing from the interface that you use to browse them! Every RSS reader shouldn't have to also build their own syncing backend!

    Hi, Aaron! I tried it and I'm getting this response on the site now: "Your account is currently being checked every 24 hours. Your account was last checked 6 days ago and will be checked again in just now."

    Aaron Parecki
    That's good! It was probably confused because of the Instagram failures. You should hopefully see some photos appear soon!

    #62 Error verifying Instagram account

    Aaron Parecki
    This should be fixed now! Instagram made another round of "API" changes so I had to compensate! Please try it again!
