Because MarsEdit doesn’t exist on iOS and I’m traveling without my personal laptop, I find myself only posting photos to Instagram. Hopefully, I’ll care to post on my blog soon. The problem is the Micro.blog app absolutely destroys photos— resolution gets fucked and the color space gets fucked. It also makes it too hard to insert Markdown for photos versus HTML, and I rely on a Markdown render hook for lightboxes and galleries.

Micro.social is a bit better, but also lacks the quick inline Markdown to place photos in longer posts to make galleries work better and doesn’t have the nice AI alt text feature, which really reduces the barrier to posting.
