Need help installing #WriteFreely? You can jump over to our forums to ask for help or see if anyone else has encountered the same problems.

Discussing the project in a public place like this helps our small team (@matt) save time answering common questions, and makes it so more people can benefit from / join our conversations.
And if you want to support the project, please feel free to help others in the community. Any help you can offer is welcome and appreciated!
We're working to build a suite of tiny, focused tools that all work together, and share the same simplicity and privacy-awareness of Write.as. This little #blogging platform is just the start.
Now you can #follow along with each of them right here in the fediverse:
@readwriteas - stories from Write.as
@snap_as - photo and album hosting
@htmlhouse - HTML hosting
Future:
@draft_as - collaboration on text
@jot_as - private, encrypted notes
Just a quick heads up: we'll be moving the #WriteFreely repo on GitHub to its own organization (https://github.com/writefreely)
That's why the support we've seen from our users and #WriteFreely contributors means the world to me and everyone on our small team. We couldn't have gotten this far without you.
We launched this long-term subscription last year, to look to our next 5 years of building a calm, independent company that'll still be here decades from now.
After other VC-funded companies have come and gone, we'll still be here, answering only to the people who use our software -- because they're the ones who help keep our lights on.
