Our next photo walk (№20) is in the East Village! We'll meet this Sunday, May 28 at 3pm in Tompkins Square Park. We’ll be exploring the gritty, lively streets of this corridor of Lower Manhattan, filled with an abundance of gardens, old-school bars and street art. Afterwards, we’ll convene at a bar for food, drinks and mingling.

@gled Ok then.

@gled Since you're probably not seeing my toots if you have writing.exchange blocked:

I was on there weeks ago, again, unaware I'm banned from your services. Please delete my account since I couldn't.

#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.

https://github.com/writeas/Read.as/releases/tag/v0.2

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

writeas/Read.as

Long-form ActivityPub-enabled reader. Contribute to writeas/Read.as development by creating an account on GitHub.

#ActivityPub support on Write.as was just the first part of what I wanted to create for the #fediverse  Next, I wanted a place to read everything in peace.

Here's just the start of that second part: https://Read.as, built from scratch to be #SelfHosted and #FOSS.

Soon you'll be able to create an account on the Read.as instance, and follow platforms like #Plume and #WriteAs that federate long-form articles — for now it just needs to be run locally.
