About this app

Micro.blog is the fastest way to blog and a safe community for microbloggers. Micro.blog is the blog you will actually use.

Micro.blog shows recent posts from sites and people you are following. Microblog posts are short — quick thoughts, links to web sites, and replies to friends. It's a fast timeline that's powered by the open web.

Blogs hosted on Micro.blog include:

* Short microblog posts or full-length posts.
* Markdown for styling.
* Custom themes.
* Categories, photos, podcasts, video, and more.

Already have a blog? Use Micro.blog to follow friends and post to external blogs compatible with WordPress and the Micropub API.

Instead of trying to be a full social network, Micro.blog is a thin layer that glues the open web together, making it more useful. Micro.blog adds discovery and conversations on top of previously unconnected blog posts.

Ratings and reviews

Wow. That's messed up. WHERE does it say to go to your micro website FIRST and then you sign up for a 7-DAY TRIAL? I was trying to put in my email but it kept saying NO! WRONG! I stumbled upon your website to finally find out that in the corner of the screen it says sign up. I tried it. Again, it doesn't say anywhere that it is NOT FREE. You may want to talk to Google Play Store for including you in the FREE blogging apps. Now I know why you only have a few visitors. Hmm. Not cool, sir.

Micro.blog, the platform, is pretty cool; however, most of the development for it has gone into macOS and iOS, and that shows here. The Android app is spartan and actually more difficult to use than the website in my mobile browser. I recommend foregoing this app and instead installing the website as a PWA. It would be nice to one day see this app redesigned in Material UI and with all the power and ease one expects after using the web version.

Every time I open the app it disappears the first time then works the second time. Odd.
