@heliostatic development is still continuing at a good clip with WriteFreely--no docker for production yet, but one to keep an eye on.

I could imagine switching to this platform with some WordPress projects.

Can you please settle this among yourselves with direct messages? The topic here is "WriteFreely" as an app request.

@heliostatic Im still getting charged for write.as pro even though I've been trying canceling for a year.
-_-

[jdaviescoates]

@will contact whatever bank/ card/ paypal/ whatever you pay with and cancel at your end?

[will]

@jdaviescoates They make me dispute each charge individually. I ended up canceling the card it was attached to. -_-

[jdaviescoates]

@will how very annoying

+1 for WriteFreely. Among all the Medium-equivalents, this one stands out as polished and ActivityPub-compliant.

I have used WriteFreely extensively in the past and found it the fastest way to produce a lot of well organized content in an elegant way geared for writers/readers. I hope it's still being considered to be packaged.

It'd be fantastic to have this ActivityPub blogging platform on Cloudron!

Although sadly:

"WriteFreely doesn't yet provide an official Docker pathway to production. We're working on it, though!"

From the bottom of:
https://writefreely.org/docs/latest/admin/docker

I guess that might make it harder to package?

@jdaviescoates it seems like they have an active image? https://hub.docker.com/r/writeas/writefreely

That'd be a perfect addition to the federated category!
