As we get closer to the release of #WriteFreely we want to know: what's most important to you in a self-hosted blogging platform? What's missing in the others you've tried? In what ways would you use a simple, federated one, like what we're building?

The #Linux app is out now! :linux:

Version 1.0 has the basics:

* Simple editor
* Auto-saving single draft
* Choose between three fonts (serif, sans-serif, monospace)
* Dark mode (on platforms that support it)
* Save draft as another file
* Publish anonymously to :writeas: Write.as and manage posts via the CLI

Download / install it here: https://write.as/apps/desktop

Get the code here: https://code.as/writeas/writeas-gtk

Just started a #PeerTube instance for Write.as demos, tutorials, etc. 🎥 (It was actually easier than I thought it'd be.)

If you'd like to follow: @writeas

Now you can fetch individual blog posts from the #fediverse :fediverse:

#ActivityPub support is now available to everyone! 🎉 🎊 :fediverse:

Write.as blogs don't federate by default, so to enable it you can either sign up with our new page: https://write.as/new/blog/federated, or if you're already on Write.as, go to your blog's Customize page and click "Enable federation"

Note this also includes support for custom domains. So if your domain is hosted with us, you can now choose your handle when you enable federation and your blog will be accessible in the fediverse!

#ActivityPub support is live! You can now follow *Public* Write.as blogs from Mastodon, such as our @blog

It's limited to Public blogs right now (a paid feature) so we can slowly roll this out and plug holes as needed -- once I'm confident things are stable in the next few days, it'll be available to everyone for free.

You can read a bit more about the update, and I'd love to hear any feedback / ideas / bugs here! https://discuss.write.as/t/activitypub-support/64

And as I mentioned on my personal account, if you're in France or Italy and want to meet up and chat, let me know 🙂
