@help I've removed & re-added the domain, let's see how that plays out. My images are now loading in posts as username.micro.blog URLs so it does seem that there's an issue there? I did change registrars a few weeks ago but had copied the DNS settings over so it matches the settings in Help.
@help FYI, it didn't; only the text was posted. www.chirag.biz/2021/01/0... The URL for the upload doesn't seem to upload either, not sure why that is.
@manton Interesting, I've dropped apps from my home screen this year too, except mine are replaced by a couple of widgets instead.
@help @garciabuxton Don't think it was just you; I had the same thing and landed up deleting the post a few times thinking it was at my end. Will retry now and hopefully it will show up (for some reason can't see any upload previews or visit the URLs of uploads though).
@smokey Thanks!
@cygnoir Ooh, sadly I binge watched it over the weekend! But happy to discuss once you're done :)
@mexpat Great to hear! Absolutely love the way they separate the story into its chapters.
@simonwoods Agree; the opposite for my part of the world. The late evening timeline is quite active and the day is slow enough that it encourages me to post from time to time :)
@manton Good episode! And of course mirrored what we've chatted about Anchor and podcasting in general. Also glad you guys took a more balanced stance on the Apple Stores issue - leadership and actual problems rather than the outburts most people are going through.
@manton Agree, not a fan of that either and Spotify simultaneously took over the content space and the hosting space. Gimlet was already doing exclusive shows with Spotify so I expect more of these to be churned out a la Netflix: 'Come for Homecoming, stay for the rest of podcasting.' Plus like you said, I expect there'll be a consequence or two we haven't envisioned yet.
@Chirag @manton I'm guessing you have a few thoughts? It feels we're headed for a Medium deja vu, but at the scale of Netflix.
@smokey Ah, thanks! :) Thought it was video too but I've never had to test it, just the odd youtube video embed but that's an iframe.
@JohnPhilpin Definitely sooner :)
@pratik Ah gotcha. I believe Manton mentioned that most embed/HTML tags would work - audio, video included :)
@pratik Hey, yup, any hosted audio actually via the audio HTML tags (don't use MB's podcast hosting).
@JohnPhilpin Congratulations! So glad to see this going. And you sound a natural (and oddly enough exactly what I expected you to sound like when you were first talking about it :)). Hope to hear more!
@pratik Haha, no worries, glad you liked it! Thanks - I just featured her on our show, all blog credit to Sally (I'll pass it on :))
@geofftaylor Fair enough. I'm inclined to think that because it's actually two different things at the backend—triggering a shortcut from a compatible app vs the app properly/consistently donating the action and Siri picking up patterns—that it will take a bit to really come to life (fingers crossed).
@geofftaylor Well (ideally of course), Siri should start fronting these suggestions once you've used an app that has (donates) shorcuts. Seen it on the lock screen and occasionally in search. The Siri Shortcuts menu under General -> Siri & Search also has a list of any actions that could become a shortcut across apps.
@vasta Good to see you back!
@kaa Happy Birthday Khaled!
@vishae It's a cycle that disappoints me. We see the same thing in reporting and general content as well — the ones that are in a position to create some kind of change don't want to, and the ones that are trying hard don't have the following to create any sort of impact. And round and round it goes.
@belle So there's this podc ... just kidding! Good luck, I'd say it's okay to push yourself a bit and make a few connections so you get the most value from it, even if it means you don't speak to strangers for a month afterward to compensate :)
@belle Oh yay haha, I feel better then! If it helps, they're just about ~10 mins long :) Good luck with the move!
@belle Declutter (and get rid of the unnecessary) before your move, organize after you get in. A bit of a shameless plug but we've covered a few tips here if it helps with the headspace (there's more stuff in Ep 13 I believe).
