Along with ensuring you can follow a conversation with ease, one of the biggest things I wanted from Micro Social is the ability to be customisable. To be able to shape the way the timeline of posts can be consumed. To get exactly what you want at any point. Here’s the timeline on Micro Social.

With a range of filters available, you can limit and expand the posts you see depending on your mood. You can hide your own (or all) replies from appearing, keep Mentions in their own tab and even get rid of all the photo posts. With a few taps, you can take a nosey feed and quieten it down to a whimper.

I’ve also implemented muting and blocking of profiles, both on micro.blog and federated from elsewhere. There is also full keyword filtering that straightforward to use, so you will only see what you want to.

Photos Timeline

Why would you want to hide photo posts, you might wonder, it’s a big part of micro.blog — well you can toggle on your own Instagram like feed of everyone’s photos instead. This unique experience mixes photos from your feed, discover and the photos collection into one place. With no infinite scroll to keep you hooked — one calm, happy place.

While we’re on photos, posts with multiple images won’t take up your whole timeline any more. They’ll be displayed in a nice carrousel for your enjoyment, and you can view them full screen with a tap. It doesn’t matter if you’re scrolling your feed, or viewing a threaded conversation, images look great but stay out of your way.

I feel as though I’ve moved so quickly with this app and I am getting to a really enjoyable place, so I’m getting more confident I may launch something soon. I have some more features planned to make this the only micro.blog app you need. There’s been some late nights, and I am sure there will be more to come, so stay tuned for more info.

If you feel like contributing to my work and maybe funding an App Store developer account feel free to buy me a coffee or two.
