Write.as @write_as@writing.exchange

Blogs are now localized in Turkish 🇹🇷, bringing us to 20 languages we support!

Thanks to Evrim Altay, our latest translator!

@wakest Right now receiving platforms will just see the unstyled $equation$ syntax, so it'd be up to them to render it. Long-term goal is to have it rendered server-side and federated that way.

We now support MathJax! Just go to your blog settings page under the Text Rendering section, and enable MathJax.

@gutigen I hope you'll understand if I don't rehash everything I've already written on Write.as in a single toot.

But if you really don't see the point, that's cool! Not everyone needs to get it. I'm just a guy putting things out into the universe for anyone to take or leave :)

@gutigen Of what?

@gutigen Again, never advertised that Write.as was FOSS. Read.as is.

It works with the entire fediverse, including Plume, Pleroma, Mastodon, Microblogpub, etc.; you don't need Write.as at all for it to work -- that's the beauty of open protocols like ActivityPub.

I'm not sure what we're talking about here.

@gutigen Of course, each project is independent, but also connects in some way. You can use any without the other (except Snap.as at the moment).

I made the reply unlisted because we're having a personal conversation. This isn't PR or something.

@gutigen Never claimed to be FOSS 🙂🙃🙂

@gutigen Most of the federation code is there in @read_as! The rest will be released as a piece of software you can actually host yourself before the end of the year.

@popey @rtwx @Wimpress Awesome, thank you so much! I'm happy to continue this conversation here or over email (matt@write.as).

Basically I need to get the GTK app (https://code.as/writeas/writeas-gtk) packaged up with the CLI that it relies on (https://github.com/writeas/writeas-cli). Not sure how that should all be organized

@rtwx I know they're out there, but I'm not familiar with them at all. Would you know how to set them up, or know anyone who would?

@trayofbees Btw we don't support it with indented text, but with three backticks (`) around the multiline code, like this:

```
#!/bin/bash

cd /tmp/certrenew
more...
```

@konc I found the one CSS property Grammarly was injecting and messing things up (position: absolute; on the <textarea>). So just adding !important to the property fixed it

@prudentia Our image hosting (@snap_as) is a paid feature, but you can embed images hosted anywhere on the web -- many people use free services like imgur.

But the price covers our higher costs of hosting photos, so you don't have to worry about them disappearing one day :)

@jac

@jac @fcthiesen You can search for any blog by its URL in Mastodon, and if it's federating it'll show up -- so that should work here 🙂

I think in the near future we'll have a "Remote Follow" button on the blog itself, too

@kaushalmodi Thanks, I haven't heard about Chroma before -- I've been looking for a way to add that, so I'll give that a shot. And I'll see what's going on with the headers. Maybe that's something I have to enable in the configuration

@kaushalmodi It doesn't do any parsing / rendering -- that's all handled server-side. This is library we use: https://github.com/writeas/saturday, combined with bluemonday (https://github.com/microcosm-cc/bluemonday) for sanitization.
