    1. “Federated Blogging with WriteFreely” – Matt Baer
      We're building out one idea of what federated blogging could look like with separate ActivityPub-powered platforms, WriteFreely and Read.as – one for writing and and one for reading. Beyond the software, we're also offering hosting services and helping new instances spring up to make community-building more accessible, and get ActivityPub-powered software into more hands. In this talk I'll go over our approach so far and where we're headed next. :: ActivityPub Conference Praha 2019 – https://redaktor.me/apconf/ A conference about the present and future of ActivityPub, the world’s leading federated social web standard. This two day event will include presentations of prepared talks on Saturday followed by a loosely structured unconference on Sunday, “Federated Blogging with WriteFreely” – Talk by Matt Baer

    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)

    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!)

      The New Ghost Admin API: Build advanced publishing workflows
      from The Ghost Blog
      Ghost has always had a REST API at its very core, but for the first few years while we were fleshing out basic features there wasn't a whole lot you could do with it. Now, all your favourite apps work with Ghost! At the beginning of this year we announced a brand new, public Content API [https://docs.ghost.org/api/content/] making it possible to easily pull any content out of Ghost. This also made it possible, for the first time, to use Ghost as a fully headless CMS [https://blog.ghost.org/ja

    We've reached a point where we'd like to start #hiring developers to work on the #WriteFreely roadmap 💻 :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!

    If you're at all interested in the development / progress of #writeas and #WriteFreely, I'd highly recommend following @writeas_dev.

    Whereas I try to keep this account low-volume and limited to the important stuff, the dev account often contains what we're working on at any given moment, as well as new issues, small fixes, and our future plans.

    Even if you're not a developer but instead run a WriteFreely instance — or just publish on one — there's relevant information for you there.

    1. Local timeline?
      from Write.as
      Thinking of adding a way to enable a reading stream for WriteFreely instances (like Read Write.as) and I wanted to see what everyone thinks. From the product side, I’d really like to keep this functionality separated into Read.as, and maybe make it particularly easy to integrate the two on a single instance. That way, you could also use the reading side to follow blogs from around the fediverse, bookmark posts (favorite them) and follow users, both on the associated WriteFreely instance and in ...

    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

    @anildash Just a heads up that we're open source now: https://writefreely.org

    Installation isn't as quick and painless as we want yet, but that's the main goal for v1.0. Aiming to have that released by the end of the year.

    Now that the #Linux app is launched, I'm looking to build native apps for #macOS and #Windows next.

    I already started on the macOS app (written in #Swift), but I need help polishing the UI and packaging it up. For the Windows app, I'm not sure where to start. So I'm looking for #developers that can help with either!

    If you're interested, feel free to send me a message. Otherwise please pass it along to anyone you know!

    Also, these are paid #FOSS projects. All code will be #GPL-licensed.

    The #Linux app is out now! :linux:

    Version 1.0 has the basics:

    * Simple editor
    * Auto-saving single draft
    * Choose between three fonts (serif, sans-serif, monospace)
    * Dark mode (on platforms that support it)
    * Save draft as another file
    * Publish anonymously to :writeas: Write.as and manage posts via the CLI

    Download / install it here: https://write.as/apps/desktop

    Get the code here: https://code.as/writeas/writeas-gtk

    #ActivityPub support on Write.as was just the first part of what I wanted to create for the #fediverse :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.

    @dogtrax I like that idea! There's nothing built at the moment, but it's definitely possible between the Atom feeds on Mastodon and our API: https://developers.write.as/docs/api/#publish-a-post

    You might be able to use something like Zapier or IFTTT to connect to two today without code. Otherwise I'll ask around and see if anyone is interested on hacking together a tool for that
