@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.

@Captain-Kirk Name checks out.

@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.

[jdaviescoates]

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!

I would like to use it on Cloudron.

[alwynispat]

I’m surprised this isn’t on Cloudron yet.

@alwynispat A lot of the fediverse apps are being tried by different appdev folks (myself included) - there are some challenges getting some (like lemmy et al) into a single container, but progress is happening! I helped with Pixelfed and Mastodon a bit. Now working on writefreely, lemmy, and bookwyrm as time permits

[scooke]

@doodlemania2 FWIW, Yunohost has a working WriteFeely app which I use. Checking out their repository should help you work things out, yes?

[doodlemania2]

@scooke yep absolutely!
