This week I’m focusing on some small long-standing, quality-of-life issues that have plagued Write.as / WriteFreely for years. Today, it was adding a Markdown preview to the Plain Text editor (issue T519), which was brought up again on the forum after the feature stalled for years.

It took a little poking to get it displaying right, but luckily we already had much of the backend work done with our Markdown API. It seems to work pretty well! I just need to test a few more things, and then it’ll go live on Write.as. After some real-world testing, we’ll bring it over to WriteFreely, too.

A lot of dev planning today, thinking about the next two WriteFreely releases. As I mentioned on @dev@musing.studio, the goal is to basically bring WF into parity with Write.as, including support for photos, which is a long-request feature.

I’m excited for these next updates, as they’ll really move the product forward and give more people access to everything we’ve built here. You can see what’s next for WF (and beyond) on our project tracker.
