Overview
Write.as is a minimalist blogging service focused on distraction-free writing and privacy. All plans include Markdown and MathJax support, RSS feeds, ActivityPub federation, an open developer API and Web Monetization support.[13]
The Pro plan costs US$6 a month billed annually or US$9 monthly and adds up to three blogs, custom themes, newsletters, photo hosting, a rich-text editor, custom domains with SSL and privacy-respecting analytics. Team costs US$25 a month annually (US$30 monthly) for up to five members and collaborative blogs, and Enterprise adds single sign-on. Free sign-ups were listed as “closed for now” at the time of review. If a paid plan is cancelled, the writing stays online but custom domains and designs are disabled.[13] Write.as suits writers who value simplicity and federation over design options; it has no commerce features and a limited theme system.
