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. #writefreelydev #activitypub

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. https://github.com/writefreely/writefreely/pull/1461 #WriteFreely #writefreelydev

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. https://github.com/writeas/writeas-cli

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!

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 […]

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

Fixed a big bug in our (experimental) command-line #wordpress import tool, if you're using it. https://github.com/writeas/wp-import #WriteFreely

In #WriteFreely news, I just have to wrap up SMTP support (https://writefreely.org/pull/1131) and then I think we can get v0.16 out finally. Still had features like "require email on signup" on the roadmap for this version, but going to push that to the next release. #writefreelydev

Some weird things going on with email right now on @write_as... sometimes emails are sending while it's disabled on a blog; other times, we're not sending at all, after the other day when I put in some failsafes for the initial issue. Probably going to add some better logging that everyone can […]

Adding the `fediverse:creator` tag on @writefreely posts: https://github.com/writefreely/writefreely/pull/1253 #WriteFreely #writefreelydev

Finally able to get back on #WriteFreely development again. I'm working through some pull requests for our upcoming v0.16 release. Hoping to have this out by the end of the month! If you're able to, would appreciate any help building and testing out everything on the `develop` branch! […]

If you had trouble building our command-line tool for migrating between @writefreely instances, we've just fixed that! https://github.com/writefreely/wf-migrate #WriteFreely #writefreelydev

Was really planning on releasing @writefreely v0.16 in November, but had some life things get in the way. Working on getting a few more features in now so I can put that out this month. #WriteFreely #writefreelydev

let's see if we can get image uploads in @writefreely v0.16 😬 if anything, could get some basics in -- custom avatars and uploading via the classic browser. but not sure how the management UI is going to work out

Another update in upcoming @writefreely v0.16: Archive pages! This makes it easy to see a full list of all posts you've ever made on your blog, sorted by year. If you're able to, please help test and review this change: https://github.com/writefreely/writefreely/pull/1128 #WriteFreely […]

okay, on to more #WriteFreely code review

Just merged an important fix for official @writefreely binaries. They should work again on all platforms with our next release, v0.16! https://github.com/writefreely/writefreely/issues/1064 #WriteFreely #writefreelydev

The next version of WriteFreely (v0.16) will support Likes from the fediverse! We could use your help reviewing and testing it out here: https://github.com/writefreely/writefreely/pull/1122 #WriteFreely #fediverse #writefreelydev

the spammers are getting clever over on github

On a roll today, and have one last little treat coming on @write_as today 😊

Just updated our workboard for new features coming in the next few #WriteFreely releases: https://todo.musing.studio/tag/writefreely/ #WriteFreely #writefreelydev

Still need to test how well this works today, but just fixed compilations errors with our command-line utility for migrating between @writefreely instances. https://github.com/writefreely/wf-migrate #WriteFreely #writefreelydev

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. https://github.com/writefreely/writefreely/pull/1047 #WriteFreely #writefreelydev

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'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
