We're building a small, focused digital writing and publishing tool that you can host yourself. Today, you can see what will eventually be open source on [Write.as](https://write.as) — and see our complementary reader that's already open source today, called [Read.as](https://github.com/writeas/Read.as).
|
|
|
|
## Development
|
|
|
|
**This product doesn't exist in its open-source form yet**. Today it's a hosted platform (with some open source components and clients) serving thousands of blogs on [Write.as](https://write.as). Still, you can _star_ this repo now and get updates on GitHub as we start building it.
|
|
|
|
Nothing presented here is final, including the name, roadmap, and features of the product -- but you can get a pretty good idea of what will come based on our goals below and the product that already exists as a hosted solution today.
|
|
|
|
## Goals
|
|
|
|
These are our product goals unique to the open source version of Write.as, and stand in addition to the simple, pared-down platform we've already built.
|
|
|
|
* Painless install (single executable, no dependencies, no Docker or external database required)
|
|
* Lightweight enough to host on a cheap VPS with no more than 256MB of memory
|
|
* Single- and multi-blog hosting
|
|
* Capable of federating with other instances
|
|
|
|
## Features
|
|
|
|
* Start a blog for yourself, or host a community of writers
|
|
* Form larger federated networks, and interact over modern protocols like ActivityPub
|
|
* Syndicate your content to silos like Twitter, Medium, Tumblr, and more as we add them
|
|
* Build more advanced things with the built-in API
|
|
* Write from anywhere with our cross-platform apps, browser extension, and command-line client -- or bring your own Micropub-enabled client
|
