Okay #WriteFreely v0.17 coming before the end of the month, if all goes well 🤞

Back on WriteFreely development to prepare for our v0.17 release, planned for November.

Some small fixes opened / merged today:

* ActivityPub title fixes (https://writefreely.org/pull/1491

* Fix upgrade issues with instances using Unix sockets (https://writefreely.org/pull/1503

@julian yeah, just for Notes, not Articles. I'm wondering if I should just leave `name` empty for Notes to prevent that. Especially not sure how anything besides Mastodon handles it.

@thisismissem @smallcircles I'm not sure... This only applies to the `Note` type, not `Article`. On Mastodon, Article titles always show up fine.

But also don't think it looks too bad by manually adding the title to the body of the Note, like if you pull this post up in Masto […]

Title fixes for ActivityPub by thebaer · Pull Request #1491 · writefreely/writefreely This fixes some issues minor issues with titles on posts sent to the fediverse. It solves for the following use cases: Posts with a link (or any Markdown) in the title A short note published with ...

Just opened a PR for this: https://github.com/writefreely/writefreely/pull/1491

It ends up putting us in compliance with the ActivityStreams spec, too, by making sure no markup is included in the `name` property.

#WriteFreelyDev

Realized that the way we do notes on #WriteFreely doesn't work with #Mastodon, if you include a title. They don't show up!

So I'll see how it looks if we include it in the body of the Note.

Everything is pretty much ready to go, code-wise on #WriteFreely v0.16! Now just updating the docs and this should be out this week.

code.as Gitea (Git with a cup of tea) is a painless self-hosted Git service written in Go

Finally figured out what was going on with the heavy load on our Gitea instance, https://code.as -- a ton of spammers coming in, when I thought we'd closed registrations.

I've cleaned them up and put in some new protections, so should be able to keep the site up now for the repos we host there!

You would really think when you have 5 years to implement a feature, you'd squeeze it in there somewhere. But here we are!

Either way, implementing the 5-year renewal stuff now will also come with some new experiments I'm excited to try, as far as benefits for our most loyal writers.

A few priorities on the @write_as list, but this week it's two areas that I really need to address:

- Giving users who were silenced more insight into the reason, and a smoother way to appeal. This is taking up a ton of my time right now, especially as we're seeing more spammers complain, but I […]

Temporary email issues Thank you, this is really helpful to know! I’m going to revert that latest change, so that should at least fix the issue going forward. Otherwise, I’m working on a new feature that’ll show you which posts never got sent as emails, and then let you manually send them again – so that should help make sure people still get those posts. Going to get that done tonight if possible, stay tuned!

Going to revert the recent change that broke things, and add a new way to re-send any emails that might've failed to send while this bug existed.

Support SMTP email configuration by thebaer · Pull Request #1131 · writefreely/writefreely This adds the ability to configure a bulk email provider via SMTP, instead of only supporting Mailgun. Work in progress. Closes T905 I have signed the CLA

In #WriteFreely news, I just have to wrap up SMTP support (https://writefreely.org/pull/1131 and then I think we can get v0.16 out finally.

Still had features like "require email on signup" on the roadmap for this version, but going to push that to the next release.

#WriteFreelyDev

Some weird things going on with email right now on @write_as... sometimes emails are sending while it's disabled on a blog; other times, we're not sending at all, after the other day when I put in some failsafes for the initial issue.

Probably going to add some better logging that everyone can […]

Was really planning on releasing @writefreely v0.16 in November, but had some life things get in the way.

Working on getting a few more features in now so I can put that out this month.

#WriteFreely #WriteFreelyDev

it might be too much to knock out in a week. there are issues like user quotas, server config for uploading bigger files, etc.

let's see if we can get image uploads in @writefreely v0.16 😬

if anything, could get some basics in -- custom avatars and uploading via the classic browser. but not sure how the management UI is going to work out

Another update in upcoming @writefreely v0.16: Archive pages! This makes it easy to see a full list of all posts you've ever made on your blog, sorted by year.

If you're able to, please help test and review this change: https://github.com/writefreely/writefreely/pull/1128
