Just a small improvement coming to #WriteFreely v0.17: now you can change the font of posts after they're published from the web UI!

<p>This week I’m focusing on some small long-standing, quality-of-life issues that have plagued Write.as / WriteFreely for years. Today, it was adding a Markdown preview to the Plain Text editor (issue <a href="https://todo.musing.studio/T519" rel="nofollow">T519</a>), which was brought up again <a href="https://discuss.write.as/t/youre-publishing-too-often-and-lack-of-preview/20441" rel="nofollow">on the forum</a> after the feature stalled for years.

Okay #WriteFreely v0.17 coming before the end of the month, if all goes well 🤞
Back on WriteFreely development to prepare for our v0.17 release, planned for November.
Some small fixes opened / merged today:
* ActivityPub title fixes (https://writefreely.org/pull/1491)
* Fix upgrade issues with instances using Unix sockets (https://writefreely.org/pull/1503)
* Fix Customize page header nav on single-user instances (https://writefreely.org/pull/1505)
Just opened a PR for this: https://github.com/writefreely/writefreely/pull/1491
It ends up putting us in compliance with the ActivityStreams spec, too, by making sure no markup is included in the `name` property.
Realized that the way we do notes on #WriteFreely doesn't work with #Mastodon, if you include a title. They don't show up!
So I'll see how it looks if we include it in the body of the Note.
Everything is pretty much ready to go, code-wise on #WriteFreely v0.16! Now just updating the docs and this should be out this week.

The fediverse:creator tag doesn't work perfectly -- you'll need to use your fediverse @-handle in the Verification field to get it to show up right. But we'll fix that in the next version (https://todo.musing.studio/T932).
Moved two new additions into our upcoming #WriteFreely v0.16 release:
- fediverse:creator tag (https://github.com/writefreely/writefreely/pull/1253)
- Export email subscribers (https://github.com/writefreely/writefreely/pull/1258)
At long, long last, a bug with hashtags on @writefreely instances running MySQL 8+ is getting fixed in our next release, v0.16.
Making some small housekeeping updates to our #Writeas / #WriteFreely command-line client. I'd like to add a lot of basic missing functionality to it, so it's much more useful for everyone.
Finally figured out what was going on with the heavy load on our Gitea instance, https://code.as -- a ton of spammers coming in, when I thought we'd closed registrations.
I've cleaned them up and put in some new protections, so should be able to keep the site up now for the repos we host there!
