Otherwise the WriteFreely.host launch was a success yesterday! Got the infrastructure squared away and the first few instances set up.

That process is *mostly* automated right now, but WF needs a few changes to make that process easier -- including automated user creation (phabricator.write.as/T544).Working on that tonight too

Most recent toots weren't automated, but trying to get those hooked up to Phabricator tonight.

Hmm, might be able to build a Tumblr importer pretty easily, especially since auth is already implemented for cross-posting 🤔

Going along with this, by v1.0 we'll have built-in support for getting certificates from Let's Encrypt.

Another idea it made me think of: what if instead of comments right now, mentions just forwarded to a connected Mastodon / Pleroma / whatever account? Not sure how that'd technically work, but might have to look into it.

Recent @matt blog post getting sent around the fediverse reminded me this is pretty critical for v1.0: blog data caching.

Got both of these finished -- really pleased about the admin page editing functionality, in particular. Will be much better for people starting up their own instances, and customizing it how they like.
