“[Untitled]” by @dimsumthinking got me thinking. He makes some good points (scan-ability, for instance), but for me it’s not that short posts need a title —I’m totally fine with that aspect— but seeing that ‘title’ in regular RSS readers makes it feel a little like a placeholder for an unfinished draft (though, perhaps, one might argue that a short post is the draft idea for a long post).

But I’ll take it for now, and I hope Micro.blog and its mission continues to grow in success in 2019.

Addendum: A feature-request for @manton: the option to specify a custom string for an account’s untitled posts. I might pick, for example, “muncman’s status at {timestamp}” or even “(short post).” (I wonder if this is already on the roadmap… or if it is not part of some spec default and even possible.)
