We're going to take most of our Write.as application down for 12-24 hours due to a security incident. We are doing this out of an abundance of caution for our users while we work to mitigate the issue. Really, really sorry for the inconvenience here. We'll share more information as we can.

Keep an eye out for a critical security fix for WriteFreely coming out in the next few hours. You can follow here and on our @writefreely@blog.writefreely.org blog for updates. #WriteFreely

#WriteFreely v0.17.1 is out now! This includes a crucial fix for an Export page bug that cropped up in our last release, plus admin tools for clearing out spam accounts that might've accrued due to a vulnerability in v0.16 and earlier. Read about it on our @writefreely@blog.writefreely.org […]

After yesterday's critical 0.17 release, there was a bug with the Export page not rendering that came up (https://github.com/writefreely/writefreely/issues/1702). I'm fixing that now. I'm also building a way to quickly clear out spam accounts that might've been created while the […]

This is long overdue, but we're finally sending out reminder emails for 5-year Pro Members whose subscription has expired, or will be soon. Renewing this long-term plan is always a manual process, so it's just a little reminder to go in and subscribe for another 5 years, for those who want it […]

The AI era will reward character more than credentials. I wrote about why resilience, conscientiousness & adaptability matter more than ever — and how a friend is teaching his kids that by having them run his bookstore. Read here: write.as/dankaufman/r...

Lately I’ve been hearing from smart, capable friends who are quietly struggling — with layoffs, stalled careers, and rising pressure. There’s more hardship out there than we think. I wrote about it here: write.as/dankaufman/h...

Just a heads up: we'll be closing Free account registrations in about 5 hours! Now is your chance to grab a completely free Write.as blog if you don't already have one. As always, Free accounts created before this close date will remain free always. write.as/start
Ultimately, we face too much daily spam from non-paid users that make it hard for our small team (me, @baer.works) to do much of anything besides fight them off. So temporarily closing Free accounts is the easiest way to slow the tide a bit. I'm sure we'll open up Free accounts again in the future.
Also, more updates and info on this forum thread: discuss.write.as/t/closing-ne...

After that, you can always get a free account by asking an existing user for an invite. Otherwise, you can support our independent publishing platform by subscribing to Pro! (write.as/pro) And you can always join one of many independent #WriteFreely communities (writefreely.org/instances).
