write.as is a minimal UI blogging tool meant for quick posting with good pseudonymity. It has web, android and iOS clients, free and paid hosting, and supports microformats2.

The platform is built by Matt Baer.

The platform also allows for paid blog accounts which can be subscribed to via federation using the ActivityPub protocol.

Criticism

• It takes a paid plan to edit the header and footer. This makes adding links with rel="me" or code for web rings difficult

  • @dogtrax Yes reading forums you have to have a paid account to add HTML to the footer. How do you get your by;line "A place to gather words before they get lost." wonder if you can there? I think it might be a paid feature Greg McVerry

    Without *any* prior notice. Issuing new tokens only by request through a *form*. And also just silently revoking *all* existing integration tokens. Suddenly, out of nowhere.
