@warner I’ll try to send you some tips next week. Traveling through the weekend, but I can help once back.

@willtmonroe Yes, it’s possible. I can try to do a write up for you next week.

Introducing Sumo Theme for Micro.blog mattlangford.com

@MitchW The official announcement release is tomorrow and will have a few immediate fixes, that blockquote issue included. Line breaks with buttons, some navigation tweaks, etc also included.

As for the date thing, you’d probably be best served borrowing from @pratik’s site to accomplish that. He’s using Tiny, but it would work with Sumo as well.

@acfusco Good plan. I might have to markup the theme from its $0 price to justify it though. Ha!

@alexandra @nsmsn That’s a classic. And one that’s probably in the finals. The strap from 10 on watch 1 is also a contender.

@cjhubbs I like that a lot. Here's a similar one from me.

@cjhubbs Huge fan. I actually used to have that watch (Murph). I also used to have an active EDC instagram. Here it is on a green NATO and here on a brown leather. And the original black.

@Mtt

I made this incredibly well designed graphic to help choose a new EDC/GADA watch. I’ve narrowed it down to 12. What do you think? (Criteria: 40-42mm, sapphire preferred, automatic preferred. Will wear casual and dress-casual. ★ = would change strap.)

@adamprocter I haven't found anything. I've just gotten used to using the built-in Markup feature. Or Shottr on the Mac. Let me know if you do find something.

@adamprocter We had this problem at my work a couple years ago. I don't remember the exact fix, but it was something to do with our ISP and a firewall blocking the downloads. They're not on device by default and must be downloaded. We were able to get it straightened out, but it was harder than it should've been.

Are there any network/router level options for search privacy? For example, is there a way to force google to its &udm=14 self? Or even redirect queries from one search engine to another (like Google → DuckDuckGo)? Possibly something better I’m not even considering? Update: I haven't been able to find a so... mattlangford.com

I’m aiming for this week to release Sumo Theme for Micro.blog. It’ll support a lot of what Tiny Theme supports (same Microhooks, for example). But the real feature is easy & detailed “skinning”. You can see my site using the default color scheme. @lucas has been playing around with it too: 1, 2, 3.

A little art museum kind of day.

I’m developing a new Micro.blog theme called Sumo (I also make Tiny Theme). If you’re the experimental type and would like to help beta test it on your site, let me know. You can see Sumo in action on my personal site. Testing will require you to install it via a github repo and manually update.

I’ve used Drafts for years for mostly short form stuff, but today I wrote a full 2,500 word lecture using it. And it was…nice!

@Mtt

I’ve decided to go another direction. Instead of bumping Tiny Theme to v3, I’m going to release an entirely new theme called Sumo next week.

There are still a few bugs and design tweaks to work out, but you can see it in its rough state on my blog.

I finally have a highlights/quotes setup I like. They are auto-added to Readwise via Kobo & Hypothesis (Safari). Old highlights from Kindle & Goodreads were easily imported. For manual, I hit the + button in Readwise (only time I use the app). Everything is auto-organized & auto-pushed to Obsidian.

On next week’s todo list: A NetNewsWire theme based on Tiny. Also, ICYMI, here is a Drafts Theme and a Marked 2 Theme.

I need an app that helps store and organize quotes and highlights. I can’t stand Readwise’s approach (although the Kobo integration is solid). Quotify seems OK, but not available for Mac/browser. Any suggestions?

If you use the Drafts app, here’s a new Tiny inspired theme you might like.

If you use Marked 2 for previewing/printing Markdown, I created a basic theme that closely resembles Tiny Theme. It supports headers, paragraphs, lists, code blocks, inline code, bold, italics, links, blockquotes, images, and horizontal rules. Download it and add it in Marked 2 (Settings → Style).

If you don’t already follow @Kalena (my wife) on Micro.blog, you should change that.

I published a basic edc (everyday carry) page the other day. Based on feedback, I’ve significantly expanded it. I’ll do my best to keep it as up to date as possible. I’d also love your suggestions on products/improvements.

Is there a way to have Amazon not use their own delivery service? Or at a minimum, set preferences (no signature, for example)? Their delivery system is a joke here.
