#ThemeThursday is almost here! This week, it's all about light and shadow (and waxing poetic in full color):

A garden in midnight bloom
Bright, fluffy daydreams
Stolen glances and unsent confessions
A wash of ink and celluloid.

Four new themes drop in Ellipsus this Thursday. See you then! 🎨 👀

You can now set a password for your Ellipsus account—no more digging for login codes in your inbox every time you sign in.

Code login is still around if you prefer it, but this update makes it way faster (and easier!) to jump back into your writing. Set whatever weird password your heart desires.

Due to unforeseen traffic is Ellipsus is temporarily down. The engineering team is actively working on a fix.

We’re very sorry and hope to get our services back up and running ASAP.

Ellipsus saves to the browser before it syncs to the server, so any work written previously should still be there.

What you’re seeing is a known (and annoying!) visual bug - basically, a mirror of your own cursor. This usually resolves with a refresh, but we can help isolate the issue.

If it hasn't resolved, definitely get in touch with support (in-app, or at [email protected]), to troubleshoot! xo

Annnnd we’re back! The login fix is live!

We’ve officially migrated to our new login provider, and the rate limit drama should be history.

Existing users should be able to login as usual... and new sign‑ups are open again! ✨

The issue’s on their side (Auth0 limits logins per hour), but
don’t worry—this won’t be a thing for long.

Next week, we’re switching to a new provider with way higher limits.

Thanks for bearing with us—and shout if the link doesn’t work for you. ❤️‍🔥

Heeeey y’all 👋
We’re seeing a wild wave of signups this weekend (yay!)—but it’s also pushed us into a rate limit with our login provider.

Good news though! You can use this link to sign in as a workaround: write.ellipsus.com/api/auth/wor...

We want to help build a space where writers are in control:

Ownership of your work. No surveillance; no surprise removals.
Sync, share, and collaborate, without scraping or data-selling.
A writing tool that you know is safe, now and in the future.

You should be able to write freely—without fear of deletion, censorship, or extraction.

All writing should be safe.
It should stay yours.
