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

Finally, our @writefreely app for iOS helps you capture and publish your thoughts no matter where you are 📱

That's 33% off, or just $9.99 this weekend. https://writefreely.org/apps/ios

E-books 📖 We have a paid add-on that lets people download your blog as an e-book, and that add-on is 30% off this weekend.

Just $7 will permanently unlock this feature for you — great for sharing your #NaNoWriMo novel, but also useful year-round!

Next we have Write.as Teams. Our latest feature lets you bring together a group of friends and collaborators to publish on a single blog / newsletter.

This is also 25% off, for as long as you hold the subscription — both an early-access discount and an early Christmas present!

First up, we have https://Write.as/Pro. Monthly and yearly plans are both 25% off this weekend! With the discount, those come to just $6.75/month or $54/year.

Besides us offering a first-time discount on the monthly plan, this will also give you access to our upcoming social space, @remark_as, when it launches in December.

Okay, everything is live now!

Here's all the discounts we have available from now through the end of #CyberMonday.

Read about them in this thread or our @deals blog post: https://write.as/deals/shopping-weekend-2021-sale

We'll have a few sales on Write.as throughout the weekend! But I let this important national holiday slip my mind until today, so not all sales are live yet.

Right now, you can get:

- 25% off our yearly Pro subscription: https://write.as/start/pro
- 33% off the @writefreely iOS app: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/writefreely/id1531530896

And there's plenty more to come. I'll post here and on our @deals blog when everything is available 🙂

#blackfriday #cybermonday

It's #NaNoWriMo! ✍️ 📖

As is tradition, we're opening up the "Novel" blog format, and offering one additional blog to hold your novel, at no extra cost.

Aaaand we're back!

That took longer than expected, but everything went smoothly 😊

2.5 million posts is a lot of data 😅

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're introducing ourselves and our blogs over on the forum: https://discuss.write.as/t/introduce-yourself-your-blog/3560

Come stop by and let us know more about you!

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.
