Write.as

Write.as is now ! 🎉 We've named the software behind it .

WriteFreely lets you self-host a single federated blog or a community of blogs. It's written in Go / , it's lightweight, and runs everywhere -- even on a Raspberry Pi! (We tried 😁)

We just launched v0.1 this weekend, and v0.2 is already coming out early this week. You can try a full demo here: pencil.writefree.ly

Get started with hosting or find a permanent instance here: writefreely.org

@writeas@writing.exchange Nice! A little _too_ stripped down for me (no comments), but I'm very glad to see this.

CC: @lnxw48a1@nu.federati.net

@lnxw37a1 Yep, we're keeping things simple right now so we can get the core functionality / smooth installation process nailed down. Then we'll get to photo uploads, comments, etc. :)

@aeveltstra Only from the people who buy our software. We're self-funded; no ads and no VC money. Here's a bit more about that: write.as/principles

We have paid subscriptions on Write.as (write.as/pricing), a paid desktop app (write.as/apps/desktop), and we're trying out hosting for instances (writefreely.org/hosting). There's also Patreon/Liberapay/etc.: writefreely.org/support

@write_as who do i know who can tell me if this is a good idea to use over wordpress? dues it support RSS (cant find a link).

@Hamishcampbell It does support RSS -- feed readers will automatically pick it up, and you can see it by adding /feed/ to your blog URL, e.g.: blog.writefreely.org/feed/

This is meant to be very simple, so if WordPress is more than what you need, it might be a good fit :)

@write_as will have a look more... I do #openmedia projects and a #4opens blogging network sounds like a nice thing to add to the current 5 instances.

@Hamishcampbell Very cool! Would love to know how it goes if you end up using it.

@write_as I just love how the introduction video is on peertube 😍

@mray 😀 federate all the things!
