@manton FWIW … this is what I’m seeing when I look at the automatically generated profile. So, it’s not completely broken!

@manton connecting two different discussions, I just started following kite.kagi.com on Micro.blog to see if it will pick up the RSS feed. Fingers crossed!

@manton Here’s what I’ll be keeping an eye out for. Is the foldable iphone a potentially useful consolidation of an iPhone and an iPad Mini?

I’m a heavy user of the Mini for reading (books, news, long-form articles). I could see a path forward where I might do that on a foldable iPhone. It would be less compelling, though, if the camera were a big stepdown from an iPhone Pro.

Nice to have – the ability to use apple pencil for light note taking on the foldable. I occasionally do that on the Mini as well.

@Parag really great capture!

@manton I had an API question for you. With the recent note improvements to work with books, were there any changes to the Book API itself? Closely related to that, do you publish an OpenAPI/Swagger specification somewhere for the Books API? I think the closest thing I’ve seen is a Help -> Documentation article.

i’ve built an MCP server for the books API and want to make sure that’s up-to-date and accurate to a specification!

@numericcitizen yes. I just need to see how much more user friendly I can make the install process. Claude has recently introduced desktop extensions as an easier way to install local MCP servers, but it’s a bit half-baked at the moment. For now, installation of my MCP server involves using a few CLI commands involving python and uv.

@numericcitizen I would second using Claude Code. You can run it in a terminal or load it into VSCode if you’re using that as an IDE. I tend to switch back and forth between those 2 approaches. I’m actually just about done building an MCP server for the micro.blog Books API – a mixture of my code and vibe coding.

@Bruce I’m also a big fan of Orion’s vertical tabs and how you can switch between different saved windows in the sidebar. It makes for great subject-based focus when you don’t need profile separation.

The other thing I love about Orion is how strong the native ad-blocking is. While I like Wipr2 on Safari, Orion’s native blocking is awesome – web pages are so much more pleasant this way.

@manton @help I know that you have some documentation for the micro.blog API’s in the help center. I was curious as to whether you also had an OpenAPI/Swagger specification that was publicly available?
