Write.as Blog

What we're writing.

We want everyone to see what our best features are like before committing to a Pro subscription. So now we're giving everyone 3 cross-posts per month for free! Now you can get your writing out to your Twitter, Tumblr, or Medium followers even easier.

Once you've created a Write.as blog, simply go to your Blogs page and add the channels you want to post to. They'll show up in the Write.as editor for new posts, where you can choose which ones to publish each entry to. We cross-post what makes sense for each channel, so places like Twitter get a short summary with a link to the post, where Tumblr and Medium get the full content, including any title or hashtags you send along.

If you use up your cross-posts, you'll get more at the beginning of each month. But you can also remove the limit by upgrading (and you'll get other useful features, too).

Look for more channels soon, and as always, let us know what you think any time.

We just released a few features on the web:

  • Create a blog
  • Sync posts you've written to an account (if you want)
  • Markdown support on blogs
  • Customize your post's font on the web (like in our apps)

These will be free to do forever. But we also added a Pro plan that will give us income to keep improving the product. For $4 per month, this is some of what you can do:

  • Cross-post to Twitter, Tumblr, and Medium
  • Create multiple blogs
  • Use a custom domain on your blog
  • Post via email

We fixed some things and made some minor changes:

  • Fixed the text editor size on Firefox
  • Moved to Piwik Analytics from Google Analytics, which we host and control. It offers better privacy for you and respects Do Not Track
  • Removed View Raw and Embed links from posts, though adding .txt or /embed to a URL like write.as/3psnxyhqxy3hq.txt or write.as/3psnxyhqxy3hq/embed still works.

We're still polishing some things, and want to hear from you on what you think so far. Keep an eye out for our app updates next, keep up with our roadmap on Trello, and we'll let you know when we've made a little more progress.
