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 platform is just the start.

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

Nate!  

thanks to the magic of @write_as my current :nanowrimo: #NaNoWriMo project is now available as a rough and ready e-book, if you like reading on e-ink readers or dedicated reader software instead of on the web.

And honestly, who could blame you?

Anyway, free epub downloads here:

If you had trouble switching your blog to the "Novel" format — free to everyone this month for — give it another shot!

We just fixed a small bug that prevented the setting from sticking for Free users.

Hey, #WriteFreely #writeas users! 👋 Quite a lot of you here, almost 300 nodes. Can you please explain your use cases of the software? Why is it better than posting thoughts in any long-format Fediverse network? AFAIK, WriteFreely has no notifications in web interface. It doesn't show followers (except the count). It shows no comments under posts inside the interface. Do authors answer to comments from other apps? Don't you miss comments from your readers? Or is it supposed to be a one-way train?

It's ! Like every year, that means everyone can use the "Novel" blog format all month long on Write.as, even as a Free user, and get one additional blog for your novel at no extra cost.

We're finally leaving the "alpha" development stage! As part of this, we'll need to move everyone to our new infrastructure.

Previously, we mentioned this could involve some downtime. Instead, your photos and galleries will become read-only this coming Monday (Oct. 26), and then you'll simply log in and start the migration yourself.

Of course, the iOS app also works with our hosted service, Write.as. So if you've been waiting to log in to your account on iOS, now you can at last!

Here's how to do that: howto.write.as/using-the-write

(We unfortunately don't have a way to migrate anonymous posts from our Write.as v1.0 iOS app today, but we hope to in the future!)
