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

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

@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.: https://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.
