Mimi Uploader Now Supports Alt Text for Recent Uploads 🎉

Screenshots of the recent uploads screen showing the new layout and filters alongside the all new alt text editor screen.

You can now write alt text for any image in Recent Uploads. Tap on an image. Write the text. Hit Save. This is attached to the export snippet at the time of export.

  • Support for both export options, Markdown and HTML.
  • It can be filtered in the Recent Uploads with the filter button on the top right.
  • Not familiar with Alt Text? The editor includes a short summary with links to more information.
  • As part of this Recent Uploads has been redesigned to show every image in proper aspect ratio and with an indicator to show whether it has alt text attached.

Also in this release:

  • Fix for issue with image orientation being messed up when uploading in rare cases.
  • Small UI improvements related to the alt text feature.

Grateful to @maique, @pratik, @pcora, and others for help with testing and fixing issues in this release 🙏

Get it from the App Store!

Mimi Uploader now offers more options for image processing and exporting 🎉

Two side by side screenshots of the new features.

  • You can now change the size of images you upload to any size you like. You can also change the JPG compression quality. These features can be found in the redesigned Image preferences screen in Settings -> Image.
  • Export preferences have a new option to wrap exported images in links to themselves. Find it in Settings -> Export.

You can find these in the new version that is out today.

I hope you like and use these features as much as I do. Let me know what you think 😊

P.S. Note that this release does not contain the support for Alt Text that I talked about a few weeks ago. I'm still working on that and should have that ready in the coming weeks.

Mimi Uploader 2022.0 is out with new features for Recent Uploads 🎉

Recent Uploads used to show only the uploads you make from Mimi Uploader. With the new update it will also show uploads made to your Micro.blog account from anywhere else.

Mimi is primarily a batch uploader and that is my favorite way of using it. I like to make blog posts that have a set of photos, and making that process smoother was the motivation to create Mimi in the first place. As such, each batch of photos shows up in Recent Uploads as a set.

The other uploads to a Micro.blog account are only accessible as individual images and are shown inline with the sets of Mimi uploads in the same reverse chronological list. A badge is used to indicate one type or another. There are other minor UI differences between the two types in the list, e.g. Mimi uploads shows a count of images. On the top right is a filter button that lets you filter for one type or another, if you choose to do so. The screenshots below show the new interface.

Screenshots showing interface changes described above.

Exporting still works the same way with a right swipe. Sets of uploads made from Mimi can still be deleted with a left swipe. As always this only deletes the batch from Mimi and doesn't affect the uploaded images. Other uploads don't offer the deletion because they are representing the images on Micro.blog and not an uploaded set.

I hope you like this update as much as I liked making it.

Mimi Uploader 2021.1 is out with main screen layout updates and a tip jar 🎉

The new version features a new layout system for the main screen to better view your picked images. This layout scales to maximize your content for all screen sizes and orientations. As you can see in the comparison above, the same six photos are viewed with better detail in the new layout.

This version also features a new button on the main screen in the toolbar at the bottom. Toggling this fits or fills each image in the space available to it. The comparison above shows each state for six chosen photos of varying aspect ratios.

Also in this update is a new Tip Jar in the Settings screen. Mimi Uploader has always been offered at a one-time fixed price. The addition of new features and all upkeep is complimentary, so any tips to support that effort are greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your support! 😊

Recent Uploads on Mimi Uploader

A new version of Mimi Uploader is now out with my favorite new feature in a while. You can now access your Recent Uploads for reference or export! 🎉

Recent Uploads can be accessed by the icon on the top left of the main screen. Once in there, you can see a list of your ten most recent uploads sessions. Each of those can be independently exported to get the URLs in Markdown or HTML. Now if you miss exporting right after an upload, or somehow lose the exported text, you can still get to it later. I hope you enjoy this feature and find it useful like I do.

This release has been a long time coming. Working on this app is another one of those things that's slowed down in the pandemic. I'm hoping to give it more attention in the future and have a list of features and improvements that I would like to bring to you.

If you find Mimi useful, please let others know, and leave a rating and/or review. It is very much appreciated.

Thank you for your support 😊
