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.

https://discuss.write.as/c/writefreely/installation

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

Of course, this is powered by our new https://Submit.as service. If you want to give it a try while it's in beta, let us know here or over on the forum!

https://discuss.write.as/t/submit-as/779/4

Throughout November and beyond, we'll accept submissions there and publish them to our @cues blog and @readwriteas.

To celebrate #NaNoWriMo, we're launching Write.as Cues, a blog dedicated to giving you a weekly creative #writingPrompt. Here's our first one:

This month, to coincide with #NaNoWriMo, we've made some Pro features free for everyone. But whether you're participating or not, we'll also be sharing ways you can use Write.as / #WriteFreely to get your story out on the platform -- no matter what form it takes.

Here's our guide on how to set a blog up for your story with our "Novel" format:

https://howto.write.as/creative-writing

One feature we're opening up for free throughout November is an extra blog. This gives you a fresh space to write your story, whether it's for #NaNoWriMo or not.

We've joined other fediverse projects on the SocialHub forum, with dedicated categories for #WriteFreely and #Pherephone! Feel free to join us over there.

WriteFreely: https://socialhub.activitypub.rocks/c/software/writefreely

Pherephone: https://socialhub.activitypub.rocks/c/software/pherephone

Every November, we open up some Pro features to all users so they can share their stories for #NaNoWriMo. More details coming soon!

We're finally taking care of all the non-technical work needed on Write.as, like better help documentation and minor annoying bugs / missing pieces.

For example, we're putting all our help on (fittingly) a Write.as blog, https://howto.write.as, and then linking to that site from various places in the application. (Previously, we might've linked to an old Help page from 2015 or https://guides.write.as.)

Hopefully this makes everything much easier to use!
