Scroll to the top is built-in in most browsers. On iOS, tap the top of the screen. On macOS, click the top of the scroll bar or press Command–Up Arrow on the keyboard. It works similarly on other operating systems and devices, but the keyboard shortcuts will differ.

Feature: Appearance override
Description: In the official apps, allow overriding the system light/dark mode. This would be great as a toggle in the web version as well.

I reuse uploads all the time - BUT - it’s the finding of them that is a BIG problem - and this would go a long way to solving this … not just URL, but also ‘Name’, Description - and heh - maybe even ‘alt text’ so that when you ‘copy markdown’ - the alt text is prepopulated.

Feature: Persistent header and footer for newsletters
Description: Set a permanent “wrapping” around the posts – an intro paragraph at the top, at the least, and optimally a “thanks for reading, here’s how to contact me” at the end.

Feature: Add an indicator to a post on the Mac app whether it has comments or not.
Description: This is similar to the Conversation link on the web under the post. The indicator can be a similar text or an icon on top right like in Gluon.

This would be fantastic on the iOS app as well.

Feature: Add option to remove hashtags when importing posts from an RSS feed.
Description: Hashtags in posts originating from posts on other services are useless in Micro.blog and often link to the other service. Additionally, it’s possible to selectively post to Micro.blog with hash tags on other services. It would be helpful to have the option to remove these when posts are pulled from an RSS feed.
Feature: Pull in photos from Mastodon as local files instead of linking.
Description: When posting to Micro.blog from a Mastodon RSS feed, the photos are linked and not local. This causes issues when changing instances or stopping a service altogether.

Feature: Add ability to add a title in mobile client even if post is below the length threshold.
Description: Using either the gear icon (already present) or a “view” option (like the mac app), present the option to add a title to the post.
Note: some have suggested a workaround of adding text until the post is long enough to force a title, then adding a title, then removing the extraneous text. This does not consistently work for me.

Feature: Allow users to control whether to repost or cross-post on ActivityPub accounts.
Description: It’s awesome that Micro.blog supports cross-posting and that micro.blog posts are automatically posted on the Fediverse. It would be even better if Micro.blog allowed users to control whether the Mastodon integration cross-posts (today’s behavior) or reposts the Micro.blog ActivityPub post. This would help ensure that replies to the post on my Mastodon account show up as a discussion on blog post.

Can you say more? You already have both of these options-- cross posting to a different registered account and/or a Micro.blog based ActivityPub stream.
@jsonbecker, are you talking to me or someone else? It’s hard to tell who’s replying to who in this UI 
.
Assuming you mean me, I know that cross-posts are supported, but I don’t see any way to configure my Micro.blog to repost/boost the ActivityPub post on my Mastodon account.
For clarity, @dotproto@toot.cafe is my main Mastodon account. I have my Micro.blog account set to publish activity pub posts to @sim@dotproto.com. I also have configured Micro.blog to cross-post to @dotproto@toot.cafe. The problem with this setup is that if people reply to my Mastodon account’s post, those comments won’t appear on my blog.
@dotproto yup, to you. Using the reply without “@” is a bit more subtle in the interface of Discourse.
I’m not sure if there’s an easy way around that-- the cross post to another Mastodon account does not have some connection back to your original blog post in any way. It just looks like a post on Mastodon. I think if you have a link back to your canonical URL, it would (maybe?) result in a web mention (might need something like bridgy) to make that appear like a comment. Otherwise, the cross-posted version of your content has no connection whatsoever to the canonical post to pull in replies there. That’s actually a fairly good reason to not use cross posting over using the “native” ActivityPub stream-- that will result in mentions showing up.
Feature: Option for Long Posts with no titles in Filters
Description: As @amit once said, thinking of titles adds friction to your blogging flow. Most of my macro posts are now without titles. But I can’t make use the filters feature for these posts.

@manton Any timeline on implementing the URL and slug changes per my previous post. I’d love to finally have control over how URLs are constructed, as the current implementation is really awkward.

No timeline yet, sorry. It’s on my mind, though.

Feature: Truncate posts on the Timeline with more than 3 or 4 photos.
Description: I love seeing peoples photos but occasionally someone will add a whole load of photos to their posts. That means a lot of scrolling in a full Timeline. In the same way that text posts with more than 300 characters are truncated, I suggest a similar approach for photos: display the first few but then have a More link of some kind to see the rest.

OMG! Yes! I wish I could find older posts by name so that I can link to them from new post. I wish I could find the images I know I already uploaded but can’t because the platform uses human antagonistic randomly generated files name.
