A new version of Mimi Uploader is out and has a feature that many of you have requested: You can now pick the blog to which you want to upload the images! 🎉

Select and switch the upload blog to any of your Micro.blog hosted blogs in Settings. The selected blog is shown at the top of the main screen where you can also press and hold to switch quickly. Mimi remembers your setting either way.

There are also some fixes and improvements. Please let me know if you have any comments or feedback regarding this new feature or any other aspect of the app.

And it would also really help if you could leave a review 😊

A ruddy sunset last night…

And a foggy morning today…

Yesterday was one of those amazing Fall days when the sky is clear and the air is crisp. After going through ten days dealing with wildfire smoke, and another few days of overcast skies and much-needed rain, it was a welcome change. So, we went out for a short hike in the Forest Park area.

There are nice views from the trail. This is at a viewpoint very close to the start. St John’s Bridge, with Mt. St. Helens and Mt. Rainier in the distance.

Jenni at a point on the trail.

Mt. Hood, as seen from St John’s Bridge. We couldn’t get parking at the trailhead so we parked at the other end of the bridge and walked over it. That was an additional bit of fun despite my not-so-great feelings of looking down from it 😅.

After the hike we ended up at this recently opened food cart pod and had a meal there. This was the first time we’ve eaten out since the pandemic started. It was a bit unnerving for me to be in the midst of so many people without masks but overall it was enjoyable.

Nice clouds and colors. That is all.

The new version requires iOS 14 and utilizes its new system photo picker. This enables you to easily browse and search your entire library to add photos to upload. You are no longer restricted to the recent few thousand photos.

As a result of this change Mimi no longer requires or asks for Photos permission. Yay for privacy! You will never be prompted for that again. Only the photos you explicitly add will now be accessible to Mimi and shown in the grid.

This update also adds:

• Support for PNG files to preserve their format.
• Larger photo preview in the grid.
• Contextual menus on photos in the grid and on some action buttons. Press and hold to discover these.

I hope you will like this update and please do let me know any feedback you may have. I’m now working on adding new features to the app and hope to write about that soon. Thank you for your continued support! 😊

Some people: I’m concerned about always on recording devices, so I only have them in certain parts of my home/office.

Amazon: Hold my beer.

I almost made an app last year that would give me this kind of a notification. And now it’s built in!

Oh, and this was also part of my theoretical feature set:

Over the last few days I’ve released daily updates to the Mimi Uploader beta. I expect that the most recent one from a few minutes ago will be the last. Hopefully I will submit the app for review tomorrow or the day after after I complete all the release tasks.

If you have any more feedback, please do let me know soon. You can get the beta at: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/mimi-uploader/id1484555696.

Thank you!
