Version 0.13 https://blog.writefreely.org/version-0-13

I've been wanting to theme my blog, and https://css.horse/ is going to make that much easier. 😍

If your Snap.as photos weren’t showing up with the correct rotation, that issue is now fixed! Any new uploads should work great 🖼️ We wrote a bit more about this on the forum.

Developing themes for @write_as / @writefreely has always been a bit of a pain. I've gotten used to working around the limitations, but I always wanted to make the process accessible to more people.

Today I'm finally releasing 🐴 CSShorse, a tool for editing #WriteFreely themes and previewing your work in real-time, with your real blog. (Based on @htmlhouse.)

We recently made some API changes to support a migration on @write_as, so once I bring that over to #WriteFreely, we'll release v0.13! That'll likely happen on Monday.

Everything seems to be looking pretty good in v0.13 Release Candidate 1 -- but if you'd like to help debug, please join our demo instance (https://pencil.writefree.ly/invite/5t59cX) or grab the latest pre-release: https://github.com/writefreely/writefreely/releases/tag/v0.13.0rc1

Writing a newsletter? Now you can let readers respond directly to you via email! Read more about this on the Remark.as blog.

We now support custom domains with Unicode characters, so sites like “canopée.quebec” work perfectly. (Thanks to @mathuin for the report and help with testing this!)

Wondering what one of our featured topics, #100DaysToOffload, is about? Now there's a bit more information about it on the topic page: https://read.write.as/t/100daystooffload

Our demo instance is now up to date with #WriteFreely v0.13rc1! It even has our new Gopher support enabled 😄
