@aaronpk I'm a big fan of plan 'ol RSS but this is neat. Seems weird that it shows up under a GoDaddy URL though?

Announcement: “Those of you sitting in window seats probably got a good look at the Southwest jet that flew over us. They’re at 36,000 ft., we are at 35,000 ft.” A) Is this common? B) Is it a good idea to announce this? 😳🤔

@aaronpk Hi! I just started using OwnYourGram and it's so cool! I'm glad that I get to archive my stuff from there and onto my own domain. I have a question though: is it possible for it to fetch more than 20 IG posts? Would be cool if I could back those up as well.

Thank you!

@aaronpk Your list of life tools is the one that pushed me over the edge. I got the KitchenAid, as recommended, and I hope you are enjoying your $0.26 of affiliate income. 😂. (I actually don't know what the affiliate percentage is anymore.)

@cleverdevil Perhaps there wasn’t enough of a market before now for WordPress et al. to invest resources into a migration tool/service (there was obviously a desire, because all those tools you strung together), but in the current climate, it does seem like there’s a greater need. Maybe someone is frantically building one right now?

I’d seen several people asking here about getting their photos out of Instagram, so it’s a shame that InstaLooter isn’t non-tech-friendly (or that someone hasn’t deployed it behind a web service on a server somewhere)….

And I like the idea of the “on this day” stuff that you and @colinwalker have built for yourselves. The more pieces of the siloed experience that we can easily replicate on the open web, the better :-)

@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.

Yeah, he definitely wants to add it. The main challenge he has currently is where are the photos hosted for people who reply using the micro.blog app? For people who host their replies like us, it’s fine. But unless micro.blog posts the replies to the hosted accounts/Wordpress accounts, then micro.blog the service would have to have photo hosting. So until he decides which way to go he’s held off on allow photo replies. If we can do it but others can’t then that would open up even more questions.

micro.blog doesn’t support photos in replies, only initial posts. That’s what happened :)

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

@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.

@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.
