Now you can 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

The new theme this week has been a long time coming - our official "Dark mode" for the default blog theme! It pairs nicely with the dark mode of the editor.

Glitch has a pretty awesome markdown editor. Why not use it to publish something? This app takes the project's README file and publishes it as a fully formatted @write_as post!

Write.as for Teams  

Now we're hoping to get more feedback on the service before it fully launches.

If you're interested in trying this out on your team and giving us your feedback, I'd love to hear from you!

This would be completely free up front, while we're just looking for feedback. Then, if you decide you like it, we can make sure you get a price that fits your company's budget.

Write.as for Teams  

I wrote a little about this on @matt last June: write.as/matt/the-next-stage

Essentially, we started seeing these really interesting new uses for #WriteFreely, and decided to start pursuing this "collaboration" angle as a major service we offer. It's shown a lot of promise so far, and if all continues going well, this will permanently sustain us as an independent firm building #FOSS.

Write.as for Teams  

Hey! It's @matt with another @write_as fedi account -- this time, for our upcoming Write.as/for/Teams service.

This is a new business-oriented service that we've been working on for the past few months and now plan to launch early this year.

It's built entirely on #WriteFreely, and gives organizations of all kinds a quiet space to write. Today, it's being used by non-profits, open source developers, and the Write.as team ourselves, as a calm alternative to chat and email.
