Suggestion: Name pronunciation guide field on profile pages

Community

I’d like to suggest the addition of a name pronunciation guide field to users’ profile pages on Micro.blog.

There are several name pronunciation guide services (Namedrop is one) that allow a user to record their name as it is meant to be said, then hosting the recording on a personal profile page.

Optimally, each user would be able to upload a short audio file directly to Micro.blog that would be embedded in their profile page.

Excellent idea. FWIW, FB had this more than 5 years ago.

BTW here’s mine.

Has this been added yet? I would be happy to help beta-test it.
