#ReadAs v0.2 is now available!

This version is basically good enough to host yourself, i.e. I don't think there will be any major changes in the near future that you'll have to work around. And if you do try self-hosting, I'd love to hear what the experience was like.

I've also created a test instance here: https://readas.labs.abunchtell.com -- please test it out and let me know what you think!

So what happens if a blog post is over 500 characters and someone subscribes via Mastodon? What do they see?

Show threadWrite.as

@Blort They'll still just see the post title and the URL -- blog posts get sent out as a special type that Mastodon recognizes as longer ones, so it always displays them the same way.

So this is the reason for #readas -- having a way to subscribe to and read these long posts.
