Write.asNov 12, 2018

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

WriteFreely lets you self-host a single federated blog or a community of blogs. It's written in Go / #golang, 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: https://pencil.writefree.ly

@write_as How do you turn a profit?
Show threadWrite.as

@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: https://write.as/principles

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