Musing Studio Development @dev@musing.studio

Still need to test how well this works today, but just fixed compilations errors with our command-line utility for migrating between @writefreely instances.

#WriteFreely #WriteFreelyDev

Each has its own requirements and small differences -- what metadata do we reveal or send along? what content do we show? what format is it in? etc.

Places we send out #WriteAs posts upon publishing:

- locally
- Integrations (cross-posting)
- ActivityPub
- Email

Places we render posts:

- Blog index (web)
- Blog post (web)
- https://tiny.write.as (web)
- https://read.write.as (web)
- API (json)
- RSS feed

Okay, got the #fediverse side of things working. The publishing and rendering side of #WriteAs / #WriteFreely really is a mess. Needs a major refactor

Finishing up a new integration on @write_as (announcing soon), and looking at our cross-posting usage. It's really fallen off -- only 4 posts sent out this year. I think the feature made the most sense when Twitter was around.

A lot of regular maintenance today -- fixed up some things with deployment and did some issue triage for @writefreely.

Thinking about free accounts on @write_as again... 🤔

Note to self: move random apps still on github.com/writeas to musingstudio

Oof our slug-generation library used in @writefreely is way out of date. Will switch to upstream, since our one change was merged, anyway.

#WriteFreely #WriteFreelyDev

Okay not much progress here today, but worked on some lower-hanging fruit.

Really want to finish up fediverse replies on @remark_as / @write_as, so we can push that out and announce that we're finally fully integrated with the #fediverse. Will see how far I get today.

I'm looking at that again today, and seeing if there's any way we can adapt it to Read Write.as and multi-user #WriteFreely instances.

I'd really love to have an #ActivityPub actor for https://read.write.as that natively sends out posts from all the writers there.

We actually started working on this in 2019 (w/ @qwazix) with our #Pherephone project: https://github.com/musingstudio/pherephone

Bridging this account to #bluesky now, if you're over there: @dev.social.musing.studio.ap.brid.gy

This has been one interesting use case that I haven't really seen anywhere else in the #fediverse. Basically, it'll let you reply to a short-form post (e.g. Mastodon) or long-form post (e.g. #WriteFreely) with your own full blog post.

That post could either exist on its own out in the fediverse, or become a published post on your @write_as blog, while also being part of the conversation in the fediverse.

Looking at this today: replying to any ActivityPub post from @remark_as.

Still dealing with some old fraudulent accounts created on Write.as last month, so today I’m developing some tools to more quickly manage those users. Hopefully I can get back to the real work soon 😅

Cleaning up more #WriteFreely PRs and issues, starting with dependencies.

Some I'm merging into `develop` for a future release, and more urgent ones are going into our v0.15.1 branch so we can release that soon.

...and many more places that needed updating. Closed this #WriteFreely issue (https://github.com/writefreely/writefreely/issues/1017) and updated the CLA to reflect our current legal name.
