Episode 8 brings a shortcut to quickly grab a webpage and send it to Feedbin for sub.
Shortcuts Ep. 8
Siri Shortcuts - Episode 8
Shortcut Name: Send RSS feed to Feedbin
Revision: 1.0
Add to Shortcuts!
What does it do?
Accepts a given Safari page (via share sheet), and subscribe to it with Feedbin.
How does it work?
- Use the share sheet to send the URL of the current webpage to the Shortcut.
- Then convert the URL to text.
- Use regex to insert [feedbin.com prior to the input URL.
Example: http://burk.io becomes [feedbin.com - Open the newly formatted URL in Safari, allowing you to add tags within Feedbin.

Micro.blog Archives!
With the recent addition of the “Archives” feature, there is now a simple way to see a chronological flow of all posts made to your timeline. The archive section is automatically created at your.domain/archive. There is no pagination within the Archive section, giving you the ability to see the entire timeline of your entries on a single screen. I have a mix of ~900 short and long posts in my timeline, and it scrolls and flows nicely (keeping in mind that it only displays Titles and clickable date links), so there shouldn’t be any performance issues for the vast majority of users it seems. @Manton has a considerably more substantial amount of posts, so I am sure you torture tested the feature before releasing it since he hosts his own content on Micro.blog now!
Ideas for future iterations of the Archive feature
- Ability to see thumbnails inline for photo only posts.
- A mechanism for curating ‘special’ posts and bubbling to a highlighted section. https://burk.io/posts
- Option for changing the location & name of the link in the navigation.
- Foldable/Collapsible lists by Year, Month.
- Add / Edit page title.
- A link in Footer.
- Toggle to hide/show Archive in Nav and/or Footer.
*some of this stuff is doable by the end user with some code modifications/additions/deletions, but the goal here is to make it as user-friendly as possible for the whole m.b community

Shortcuts Ep. 7
Photo Upload to hosted Micro.blog / Retrieve URL
Shortcuts Ep. 7
Siri Shortcuts - Episode 7
Shortcut Name: Photo Upload to hosted Micro.blog / Retrieve URL
Revision: 1.0
Add to Shortcuts!
What does it do?
This Shortcut lets you select a photo from your library and upload it to your hosted micro.blog media repository, and retrieve a link to that photo so that you can use it on your micro.blog hosted pages without the need to link out to external storage.
How does it work?
- Ask user to select a photo from their photo library.
- Converts the photo highest quality .jpg. (this mitigates any issues if the photo is .HEIC)
- It now posts the converted photo to the https://micro.blog/micropub/media endpoint.
- The response from the server is received as text.
Example:{“url”:”http:\/\/www.burk.io\/uploads\/2018\/151f65c6fc.jpg”} - Regex is used
\B:|[{}”\\]|urlto remove unnecessary characters, leaving you with a standard URL.
Example: http://burk.micro.blog/uploads/2018/151f65c6fc.jpg - Finally the cleaned up URL is copied to the clipboard.
