Kind of proud of this... I just finished per-topic browsing on @readwriteas, and instead of creating new database tables and adding to the admin UI, I just stored the featured topics in a plain Write.as post (write.as/w9fggtfchntbfj6c.md). The server uses the go-writeas library to fetch the post, does some simple string operations, and then generates the navigation bar.

What do you call this? Bootstrapping features on the platform I'm storing data for the features on?

[] strawsa opened #82: 2nd (##) and 1st (#) level headings show as same style on blog feed writefreely.org/issues/82

Taking a look at federation issues today, particularly ones affecting blogs with a preferred URL on *.writeas.com

@thomas@social.okaris.de Right, we have them disabled because of how our excerpt feature works (howto.write.as/show-an-excerpt). We may support footnotes in the future, though

Going to be a very busy month for development! Several major features planned for release, including standalone @snap_as accounts 📷

Updated the Instances page to explain more of what's going on, and to not prioritize Write.as over everyone else's instance anymore.

At this point, it gets enough exposure elsewhere on the site. The goal for this page is to help all these other great communities grow.

@Cochise Yep, stored in the DB as `text`: github.com/writeas/writefreely

For Snap.as images are stored on the filesystem / with an efficient delivery system. I agree data URIs aren't the best solution for photo hosting -- both for storage and for reading content (since the data can't be cached).

Could use some input on this. Would data URIs be useful for you in WriteFreely? Or not needed?

That would also go along nicely with the automatic SSL certificate generation we plan to add.
