  • kicks ass

    WP desperately needed this. and I hate most social media so this is fun. some thingies: add the 'code view' in the editor so I can drop youtube videos. also, remove 'micropost' from the front end, let me change that up. thanks.

  • Thank you very much for developing this plugin...

    Thank you very much for developing this plugin, which is simple, fast, and easy to use. I hope to enhance its functionality: allow quick posting on the front end by inserting shortcodes. It should display user avatars and names, support multi-user posting, and enable every user to publish. It would be great to create a micro-community.
