OutPost

I added a character/word count feature to OutPost today and have decided to “officially” release the Mac version to the public (no longer calling it a beta). Now my focus goes solely into the iOS version…

If you’ve been giving OutPost for Mac a spin, or have already made it part of your blogging workflow, I’d love to hear your thoughts. I’ve not gotten any substantial feedback on the app so far, so it must be perfect as is. 🤣

My plan is to make the current version the “real” public release unless there’s a show stopper issue so I can focus on the iOS work.

Okay… A bunch of rapid-fire changes to OutPost over the last couple of days. Check out the change log to see everything that’s been fixed. The big news is OutPost will return a Pika feed properly. 🎉 Pika peeps, give it a go and report back.

For those who are curious, I’m working on an OutPost update to make working with blogs that only advertise the Micropub protocol (like Pika, Blot, Hugo, and Dobrado) more pleasant. Expect an update sometime this weekend – maybe even tomorrow morning…or possibly tonight.

Let’s try that again… My work on OutPost is coming along really well, but just when I think I’m about ready to turn it loose for others to try, I’ll get another idea for something I think the app should do. Nonetheless, here’s a tease of some iOS screenshots (plus a Mac screenshot).

Doing some OutPost testing this afternoon, I was pleased to discover that the app kind of works with Pika.page too, though not quite as feature complete as it is for some other blogs.

I changed up the layout of OutPost for Mac this morning. I feel the dual sidebar layout works far better on larger screens and is more “Mac-like” in its look and feel. I might be close to having other people test it for real.
