You would really think when you have 5 years to implement a feature, you'd squeeze it in there somewhere. But here we are!
Either way, implementing the 5-year renewal stuff now will also come with some new experiments I'm excited to try, as far as benefits for our most loyal writers.
A few priorities on the @write_as list, but this week it's two areas that I really need to address:
- Giving users who were silenced more insight into the reason, and a smoother way to appeal. This is taking up a ton of my time right now, especially as we're seeing more spammers complain, but I still need to sort them out.
- Letting 5-year subscribers renew their subscription. For many reasons, I'm way overdue on this 🙃
Just rolled out some fediverse-related improvements:
- Now you can follow Write.as blogs from Ghost! There was a tiny bug with this that we just fixed. (WriteFreely PR: https://writefreely.org/pull/1373)
- We now support the `preview` property as a fallback for Articles. This will make your posts look much nicer as more platforms support it! (WriteFreely PR: https://writefreely.org/pull/1374)
#WriteAs #WriteFreely #WriteFreelyDev #Ghost #fediverse #ActivityPub
as always, deploying on Write.as and then opening PRs for @writefreely.
will probably get these changes in v0.16, our next release that's been delayed for a while
Working on some #fediverse things in @write_as today.
- New `preview` property on our Articles, so future supporting platforms can fall-back to a short-form representation of blog posts
- Interop issues with #Ghost
Hello again 👋 I'm back, getting caught up and back to work on @write_as & @writefreely. More updates soon!
Fixed a big bug in our (experimental) command-line #WordPress import tool, if you're using it.
Dev notes from @musing, tooted away by @matt.
Follow @write_as, @writefreely, @snap_as, @remark_as, and the rest for official announcements.
