Micro Social version 1.6 supports deep linking through custom URL schemes. This allows for easier integration with other applications and helps automate your posting workflow.

New Post URL Scheme

Use the microsocial://newpost URL scheme to create new posts directly from other apps.

Share articles and web pages with a rich format:

microsocial://newpost?type=link&url=<encoded_url>&title=<encoded_title>"e=<encoded_quote>&comments=<encoded_comments>

Example:

microsocial://newpost?type=link&url=https%3A%2F%2Fexample.com&title=My%20Article"e=Interesting%20excerpt&comments=My%20thoughts

Status Posts

Quickly share text updates:

microsocial://newpost?type=status&text=<encoded_text>

Example: microsocial://newpost?type=status&text=Hello%20world

Books Integration URL Scheme Track your reading with the microsocial://books URL scheme:

microsocial://books?isbn=<isbn>&stage=<stage>

Supported Stages:

reading: For books you are currently reading. want: For books you want to read. finished: For books you have finished reading. Example:

microsocial://books?isbn=1234567890&stage=reading

When you add a book using this scheme, Micro Social automatically:

  • Adds it to the appropriate shelf.
  • Creates a post with the book title, authors, and ISBN link.
  • Includes a 📚 emoji.
