@kushal Thanks for the shout out! Really glad you're happy with the service 😊

Of course, this is powered by our new https://Submit.as service. If you want to give it a try while it's in beta, let us know here or over on the forum!

https://discuss.write.as/t/submit-as/779/4

Throughout November and beyond, we'll accept submissions there and publish them to our @cues blog and @readwriteas.

To celebrate #NaNoWriMo, we're launching Write.as Cues, a blog dedicated to giving you a weekly creative #writingPrompt. Here's our first one:

@nurinoas Yep! We're eventually going to have a full plugin / add-on called @remark_as.

We're working toward that by introducing support for ActivityPub mentions in the near future (currently in progress here: https://writefreely.org/pull/195).

This month, to coincide with #NaNoWriMo, we've made some Pro features free for everyone. But whether you're participating or not, we'll also be sharing ways you can use Write.as / #WriteFreely to get your story out on the platform -- no matter what form it takes.

Here's our guide on how to set a blog up for your story with our "Novel" format:

https://howto.write.as/creative-writing

One feature we're opening up for free throughout November is an extra blog. This gives you a fresh space to write your story, whether it's for #NaNoWriMo or not.

We've joined other fediverse projects on the SocialHub forum, with dedicated categories for #WriteFreely and #Pherephone! Feel free to join us over there.

WriteFreely: https://socialhub.activitypub.rocks/c/software/writefreely

Pherephone: https://socialhub.activitypub.rocks/c/software/pherephone

Every November, we open up some Pro features to all users so they can share their stories for #NaNoWriMo. More details coming soon!

We're finally taking care of all the non-technical work needed on Write.as, like better help documentation and minor annoying bugs / missing pieces.

For example, we're putting all our help on (fittingly) a Write.as blog, https://howto.write.as, and then linking to that site from various places in the application. (Previously, we might've linked to an old Help page from 2015 or https://guides.write.as.)

Hopefully this makes everything much easier to use!

@devporto WriteFreely doesn't support it yet -- we're keeping replies off the platform for now while we figure out a good way to do them.

Soon you'll be able to mention other fediverse accounts (https://writefreely.org/pull/195) to get a sort of commenting system, and then eventually we hope to have optional comments with @remark_as.
