🥳 Hello fellow makers, I'm super excited to launch Writeby, the simplest blogging platform made for writers. Writeby was born out of my frustration with Medium's platform, especially its paywall. I wanted a platform that's simple & beautiful—a platform that enables writers to just write and share their content freely. Really hope you'll find this useful! Let me know if you have ideas to make it even better!

@nick @nickhoang This is neat. I like it. Are you planning to offer custom domains or CNAME? or something like self hosting to run personal blogs.

@nick @wilsonbright We might offer custom domain for a monthly charge. Still considering though...

What's the use case in here? Is it supposed to be a community/social networking site like Medium? Or simply a publishing platform?

@doomhammer It's meant to be a Medium alternative. We'll build out community/social features soon! ;)
Piotr Gaczkowski
@nickhoang I see. Thanks for explanation :)
Harthen
@doomhammer @nickhoang So there's no way of finding other users on the site right now?

What is the business model?

@lebaux While the core features will remain forever free, we're planning on adding a premium sub for advanced publishing features.

@nickhoang I would state that on your website. You want people to give you their content in a world where they have already plenty of options. It is hard sell already, and the sparse info is not helping. I hope you understand I mean well. Cheers!

Looks nice! I would always prefer more to see the live demo instead of just a screenshot. I don't want to register just to see the product:)

@edgarascom Yeah that's a good lesson for launch!

Hey Nick. I love the clean look and I’m on the same boat with the Medium paywall BS. But how do you plan to sustain it it’s going to be free forever? Also, is it possible to plugin images in the blogs? Couldn’t see any.

@dxeen Hey Deen, we plan to offer a premium subscription for more advanced features. Image support is coming berry soon :D

@xinyu_kou We just shipped this feature. Simply paste the URL of the image. Currently we only support images that are hosted elsewhere.
