What I would find really useful in the web interface is to have preferences we can save for the new post window. For example, I would appreciate having the crossposting targets with checkboxes always visible. Ditto categories.

I wish there was an option to choose to set my blog on a different page than the default index.html. Iām not talking about creating a new directory, just a different starting point for the blog posts dis-lay. It is easy to modify and customize the home page, but putting the blog on a different page is a mystery to me.
May I ask you if customizable slugs, as described in Micro.blog Feature Requests - #5 by pimoore are still a planned feature for the coming months?
Custom slugs for blog posts (already possible for standalone pages) is still planned. To be honest, I donāt know when it will happen. Weāve wanted to add it for a long time. There has been some small progress, such as renaming uploads, which is a related problem.

It would be nice to be able to set the alt text using the micropub media endpoint, maybe using mp-photo-description? Iāve written a script for darktable (photo library software) to upload images and Iād like to send along descriptions when I upload.
Thereās not currently a way to set alt text during the upload, but you can now set new alt text with a second call. Itās a POST to /micropub/media with these params:
url: URL for the image file.
alt: New accessibility text.
mp-destination: URL for the blog if you have multiple blogs.
This is how the Micro.blog apps currently handle editing alt text for an upload.
Oh, perfect! Thanks!
On a similar topic, I really like the object detection based tags. But can they be edited? Through web or other way?
Thereās no editing for the photo keywords yet. For now they are mostly designed to improve search. I think we can do a lot more with them in the future.
