Micro.blog offers blog hosting, native macOS and iOS apps, and a welcoming community built around independent microblogs that can be used for short- and long-form writing.

They wanted to do something for everyone who might feel isolated working from home, and who are looking for a new outlet to be creative and positive. To that end, the Micro.blog team has added free podcast hosting to all standard microblogs through the end of April.

They also think that podcasts and short videos could be valuable tools for teachers who are adapting their lesson plans for online classes. If you’re a teacher, email them for six months of blog and podcasting hosting at no charge.
