Now it's easier to discover our onion site, thanks to the new Onion-Location header supported by the @torproject browser! #MoreOnionsPorFavor

We added the new Onion-Location header to Write.as, to make it easier for #Tor users to get to our #onion site!

Thanks to @kushal for writing about this new feature in the Tor browser! https://kushaldas.in/posts/onion-location-and-onion-names-in-tor-browser-9-5.html

Want to turn your blog into an eBook? We just launched a new feature to do just this — eBook exports for all your blogs & hashtagged posts!

Just released some updates to our billing system — now all of your add-ons will show up on a single bill, and you can see your exact costs for the next cycle.

Hopefully this makes it easier to plan out your expenses and see exactly what you're getting with Write.as.

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.

I've fixed the editor so that Grammarly doesn't mess it up anymore. So if you had previously disabled their extension on Write.as, feel free to enable it again 🎉

Now posts sent to the #fediverse include any #hashtags you've added, so they'll show up in searches 🔎

Now you can fetch individual blog posts from the #fediverse
