Developer Vincent Ritter has documented the development process on his blog through several iterations of the app. It supports multiple Micro.blog accounts and features like local drafts, muting, and themes. Gluon is the first cross-platform mobile app for Micro.blog. Mike Haynes designed an Android app that can post to Micro.blog, browse the timeline, and reply to other posts while feeling more at home on Android than the web-based version of Micro.blog. There is no official Android app for Micro.blog, so third-party options are critical. You can download it for free from the App Store here.ĭialog for Android. ![]() Thanks to developer Martin Hartl for building Icro and being part of the Micro.blog community. We wanted an official app so that there’s a default to get started, but there should be other great options for Micro.blog users to choose from. In a few ways, it’s better than the app I built. Icro is well-designed, fast, and takes a different approach to some features compared to the official Micro.blog app. Third-party apps for Micro.blog bring their own UI that might be better suited for certain workflows. There are so many different types of blogs out there, there shouldn’t just be one way to post.

There’s no single process, or even one goal, because everyone gets something different out of blogging. There’s no perfect blogging workflow that will work for everyone, all the time.
