Write.as

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

Okay, here we go!

You won't be able to publish or update posts for a little bit. If you try, you'll notice that the request hangs or freezes.

Watch this thread for when we're back!

We're going to have a small window of time tonight where you won't be able to publish or update any posts, as we make some important database changes.

It shouldn't take long, overall. But I'll let you know as soon as that starts!

We've just put in a permanent fix for SSL certificates on custom domains, which popped up over the weekend due to Let's Encrypt's root certificate expiring.

How am I only finding out about @write_as CLI?! This is so cool and definitely how I'll be publishing to my blogs from now on.

I'm thinking of moving our documentation to a more purpose-built platform / site generator, instead of the custom one we have now on writefreely.org/docs.

Ideally, we'd switch to a tool that supports Markdown (current docs: github.com/writefreely/documen), and allows people to search.

Any recommendations?

What's New on Write.as

Following our last update for Tor users about moving to our new v3 onion address, we’re now redirecting all visitors from our old v2 onion site to the new address! This should make it easier for your readers to follow you over to the new, more secure onion site.

Had a chat with @maguay@twitter.com about @writefreely, privacy, and removing roadblocks from our tools to help you write more.

You might have noticed some issues with our :writeas: Write.as instance, particularly from this Mastodon instance (writing.exchange). Those should be largely fixed now!

If you still have any trouble following Write.as accounts (e.g. they don't show up in search or show "pending request"), please let us know!
