Write.as @write_as@writing.exchange

We just pushed a change on @write_as that adds the publish date on blog posts when a blog is set to the "Blog" display format. This finally makes the post view consistent with the blog's index page.

Would love to get your feedback on how it looks & works. Learn more here: https://discuss.write.as/t/adding-dates-to-blog-posts/1163

Making private instances more streamlined with a recent #WriteFreely pull request. When logged out, the "Log in" page becomes the default landing page and the "Reader" is hidden in the footer (screenshot attached) - perfect for teams and organizations with private instances.

Check out the pull request for full context: https://writefreely.org/pull/274

We'd love to get your feedback, especially with how we can make the private instance experience better.
