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

Specifically, that blog is running on @write_as, a small paid service I operate, that also directly funds this community.

Since we're having a moment here in the fediverse :fediverse: today, I wanted to help show off what it can do. So besides welcoming newcomers to Writing Exchange, I'd also welcome you to start a free blog on @write_as, too: write.as/start/tesler

One thing I learned throughout the years is that absorbing information is more important than gathering. Wrote a new post on @write_as describing using Mailbrew precisely to get more time of my day absorbing what I gathered. baez.link/absorbing-informatio

As we anticipated on our 6th birthday, we became profitable this year! That means we're decidedly here for the long-run.

Thanks to all of our customers, we can keep the lights on for decades to come, without resorting to outside funding.
