Write.as Development @writeas_dev@abunchtell.com

@timapple Right, v1 is for getting the editor to a solid place, then v2 will support accounts.

(Unofficially, technically, right now you could build the writeas-cli on the `local-workflow` branch, replace the current writeas-cli executable with your build, and run `writeas auth`. Then the GTK app will publish to your account, where you can then move posts to your blog via the web UI.)

Otherwise, what issues are you seeing with the site?

@matt

Deployed a ton of updates to the site, including logo marks on the Brand page:

https://write.as/brand

updated warrant canary:

https://write.as/canary.txt

new Slovak translation and, of course, the desktop app page. Blog post and announcement toots coming later today :)

Changed to the icon structure they want, but now it isn't showing up in the applications menu on Ubuntu. Going to scrap everything so I can get this out the door.

Probably missed some things in the docs, but at this point it's trial and error. And looking at other elementary apps

https://github.com/writeas/writeas-gtk/compare/4aae0db..master

Got the desktop app changes finished. Now messing around trying to get the app on elementary

https://travis-ci.org/writeas/writeas-gtk

Last change to the desktop app before release is giving back Markdown-enabled URLs.

This is enabled with the changes in writeas-cli v1.2, which you can now get on GitHub or via Debian repo: https://github.com/writeas/writeas-cli#installing

@mooshoe@fosstodon.org As for the app, not yet :) But hopefully soon after its initial release

Last thing is to finish up the download page on the site, and see if I can get the app on the @elementary AppCenter -- not sure if it'll work since it has external dependencies like the CLI.

Either way, once the download page is finished I'll announce how everyone can install the desktop app.

Got this set up, and installing on a fresh machine works great!

Going to work on a @snap_as CLI, but need to get standalone accounts going first. So the need for the CLI will probably speed that up a bit.

Might just set up my own Debian repo to host the desktop app

Finally got the CLI packaged and building correctly Launchpad. Next to get the GTK app built

Switched from building the CLI based off the code, but I can't even get Launchpad to successfully build the package with a single binary in it. Think I've wasted enough time on this today.

Holy moley. Debian packaging -- not fun!

Actually, going to put everything under a single PPA: https://launchpad.net/~writeas/+archive/ubuntu/ppa

Finally got the .deb built for the desktop app!

Now just updating the CLI ppa (https://launchpad.net/~writeas/+archive/ubuntu/writeas-cli), uploading the GTK app package, testing installation, and finishing up the download page on the site.

Also, this new site is powered by a fork of http://gopkg.in I modified to work with my Gitea instance, https://code.as.

In case you want to self-host instead of relying on gopkg.in, here's the code for that: https://code.as/abunchtell/gopkg

Recently had to make some ⚠️ breaking changes to the go-writeas library ⚠️ so if you're using it in any projects, I'd recommend switching from github to our new versioned path as soon as possible: https://go.code.as/writeas.v1
