What we're writing.
We just launched a our new Embed.as service to power Rich Embeds on Write.as! This change is largely behind the scenes — our writers can continue sharing links from our many supported providers in their blog posts, and they’ll keep turning into nice embedded content without any extra work.
It’s been six years since the first time we celebrated our years of existence on the web by launching our long-term Pro plan.
Today, with hundreds of long-term subscribers, we’re putting a new coat of paint on this option, and renaming it Write.as Memberships, to reflect what you get with a 5-year Pro subscription: extra perks, and a lasting spot among a community of writers in our cozy little corner of the independent web.
Write.as users can check out the revamped Membership section (previously called “Long Subscriptions”) today.
Today, February 2, marks 11 years since we officially launched Write.as! What started as a minimal, anonymous article publishing platform in 2015 has since grown into an ecosystem of apps, a community of writers, and an open source platform called WriteFreely powering it all.
To celebrate, for the next two weeks ending February 16th, we're having a sale on our long-term, 5-year Pro plan, and iOS app. You can read all about it on our Write.as Deals newsletter.
We’re re-opening completely free accounts on Write.as, so more people can start a blog on our clean, distraction-free writing platform.
Update: we've removed support for sub.club after it shut down in December 2024.
Today we’re excited to announce a collaboration with sub.club, a brand new platform to help writers sustainably publish on the fediverse! With our new integration, you can offer your most loyal readers a paid subscription, and publish exclusive blog posts that they can subscribe to from their favorite platform.
Today, we are proud to support the launch of the Social Web Foundation, a non-profit built to grow the Fediverse and make it accessible to more people.
We’re making a change today that will affect new writers looking to join Write.as. Due to a couple issues we’ve encountered recently, we’ll now require an email address to create a new Write.as account.
While our high privacy standards remain unchanged, this new requirement will help us reduce abuse and provide a better experience for our writers and customers. Read on for more.
After finally losing Twitter API access last month as part of their latest policy changes, we’ve officially removed our cross-posting integration with Twitter.
While we would love to continue supporting this feature for all the writers who use it, ultimately we’re glad to cut ties with a platform that has become unreliable in many ways under its new ownership.
Today I’m excited, and pleased, to celebrate eight years on the web! As is now tradition, we’re marking the moment with a little recap of the year below, and a special sale on our 5-year subscription and iOS app — read all about that on our Deals newsletter.
As we settle into the summer, we’re taking an easier pace here at Write.as. Here’s what’s been happening lately, and what you can expect to see over the next few months.
