Introducing a new way to monetize your writing: via micropayments and the Web Monetization protocol đ°

This is our very first step toward helping writers generate income from work published on our platform.
We decided to start with Web Monetization because the technology aligns directly with our principles â it's an open protocol, friction-free for paying users, and built entirely around privacy.
Today is the last day to get a free additional subscription when you upgrade to Write.as Pro!
Give someone you love their own writing space on the web, included with your Pro subscription -- great for families, couples, and friends who want to write together.
We added the new Onion-Location header to Write.as, to make it easier for #Tor users to get to our #onion site!
Thanks to @kushal for writing about this new feature in the Tor browser! https://kushaldas.in/posts/onion-location-and-onion-names-in-tor-browser-9-5.html
ActivityPub mentions are now in #WriteFreely!
Start conversations on the Fediverse by publishing to your blog. We're excited to see how you'll use it â whether that be responding to toots with a blog post or pairing mentions with a Mastodon bot!
Learn more about this and other features in the new v0.12 release here: https://blog.writefreely.org/version-0-12
Want to turn your blog into an eBook? We just launched a new feature to do just this â eBook exports for all your blogs & hashtagged posts!
We'd love for you to try it out. Take a look at our announcement to learn how to participate: https://discuss.write.as/t/ebook-add-on/1271
We're doing something a little different this year â trying to encourage more people to start a blog with a #CyberMonday sale on Write.as Pro. For all of tomorrow, you can get a year of Pro for 25% off our normal price â just $45 per year.
Besides giving you all the features we offer, your subscription helps directly fund #WriteFreely development. Just upgrade between 12:01am and 11:59pm UTC to lock in this price permanently.
Our writing submission tool, https://Submit.as, is now in open beta! And we're looking for your feedback.
If you want to try it out and tell us what you think, just let us know!
More details on the forum: https://discuss.write.as/t/submit-as/779/4
It's also a great time to grab a free account! Accounts created on August 1 or later (eastern US time) will have a limit on the number of posts they can create for free.
Besides helping us reach sustainability sooner, with these changes we want to encourage people to spread out across other #WriteFreely instances. There are already some great ones to pick from!
Just a few hours left to grab our Casual plan for $12 / year!
Get it here: https://write.as/start/casual
(More about this change on @intheopen: https://write.as/intheopen/casual-phase-out-and-whats-next)
Now you can (finally) include an email subscription box on any Write.as post! (Including a static page, like this one: https://write.as/matt/subscribe)

Coming in #WriteFreely v0.10: more control over your home page! As the admin of a multi-user instance, you'll be able to:
* Change the content of the home page (as seen here: https://pencil.writefree.ly)
* Change the default page that non-users land on (e.g. instead of the home page, it could be your About page, or a specific blog)
Today a user encountered our automated spam filter on Write.as and alleged that we were providing shelter to hate groups. That couldn't be farther from the truth -- enough said.
Still, we've written more about this and how our spam filters work over on the forum: https://discuss.write.as/t/how-spam-filters-work/696
Both #WriteFreely and #Plume are only a couple stars away from 1,000 on GitHub! Why not send them over the threshold? â

When Medium dropped our access to their API without warning a few months ago, we decided to permanently end our integration with them.
Today we're happy to launch a new integration with an open publishing platform that can't do the same, Ghost.
Read more on their blog: https://blog.ghost.org/admin-api/
(Thanks to @johnonolan and the Ghost team for reaching out and helping with the implementation!)
After a few years of running a Mastodon instance (https://writing.exchange) or two (https://m.abunchtell.com) and bringing our own platform into the fediverse with ActivityPub support, earlier this month https://Write.as became a Mastodon sponsor.
https://joinmastodon.org/sponsors
As always, I'm excited to keep supporting the fediverse :fediverse: and watching it grow!
Here are the full details on our open developer position:
https://discuss.write.as/t/open-position-web-developer/565
We're looking for #Go developers, but welcome anyone with similar web development skills to apply! There's plenty to be done around #WriteFreely, and lots of opportunity to learn Go, if you're interested.
Apply here: https://write-as.breezy.hr/p/cc7b89733287-web-developer
We've reached a point where we'd like to start #hiring developers to work on the #WriteFreely roadmap đ» :writefreely2:
This would be remote, contract-based work for now, with a chance to go full-time later in the year (assuming all continues going well). You'd be creating free / open source software.
I'll have more details soon, but especially if you're a #Go / #Golang developer and want to work on a growing #fediverse project, I'd love to hear from you!
Just created our Zapier integration! It enables you to publish a Write.as blog post with another triggering event on their platform.
We need to reach 10 users to launch this to the world, so if you're interested in trying this out, you can get the integration here: https://zapier.com/developer/public-invite/14534/afa3756d8b3fa6c441cc100dcd65a3fe/
Discussion here: https://discuss.write.as/t/zapier-integration/511
Trying to gauge potential interest in supporting publications on Write.as that are larger than simple personal blogs. Sound interesting, or unnecessary? We'd love your input.
