@julian yeah, just for Notes, not Articles. I'm wondering if I should just leave `name` empty for Notes to prevent that. Especially not sure how anything besides Mastodon handles it.

Musing Studio Dev @dev.social.musing.studio.ap.brid.gy · Sep 5

@thisismissem @smallcircles I'm not sure... This only applies to the `Note` type, not `Article`. On Mastodon, Article titles always show up fine.

But also don't think it looks too bad by manually adding the title to the body of the Note, like if you pull this post up in Masto […]

Just opened a PR for this: https://github.com/writefreely/writefreely/pull/1491

It ends up putting us in compliance with the ActivityStreams spec, too, by making sure no markup is included in the `name` property.

Realized that the way we do notes on #WriteFreely doesn't work with #mastodon, if you include a title. They don't show up!

So I'll see how it looks if we include it in the body of the Note.

The fediverse:creator tag doesn't work perfectly -- you'll need to use your fediverse @-handle in the Verification field to get it to show up right. But we'll fix that in the next version (https://todo.musing.studio/T932).

Finally figured out what was going on with the heavy load on our Gitea instance, https://code.as -- a ton of spammers coming in, when I thought we'd closed registrations.

I've cleaned them up and put in some new protections, so should be able to keep the site up now for the repos we host there!

You would really think when you have 5 years to implement a feature, you'd squeeze it in there somewhere. But here we are!

Either way, implementing the 5-year renewal stuff now will also come with some new experiments I'm excited to try, as far as benefits for our most loyal writers.

A few priorities on the @write_as list, but this week it's two areas that I really need to address:

- Giving users who were silenced more insight into the reason, and a smoother way to appeal. This is taking up a ton of my time right now, especially as we're seeing more spammers complain, but I […]

Working on some #fediverse things in @write_as today.

- New `preview` property on our Articles, so future supporting platforms can fall-back to a short-form representation of blog posts

- Interop issues with #ghost

Going to revert the recent change that broke things, and add a new way to re-send any emails that might've failed to send while this bug existed.

https://discuss.write.as/t/temporary-email-issues/16632/4

Temporary email issues

Thank you, this is really helpful to know! I’m going to revert that latest change, so that should at least fix the issue going forward. Otherwise, I’m working on a new feature that’ll show you which posts never got sent as emails, and then let you manually send them again – so that should help make sure people still get those posts. Going to get that done tonight if possible, stay tuned!

In #WriteFreely news, I just have to wrap up SMTP support (https://writefreely.org/pull/1131) and then I think we can get v0.16 out finally.

Still had features like "require email on signup" on the roadmap for this version, but going to push that to the next release.

Some weird things going on with email right now on @write_as... sometimes emails are sending while it's disabled on a blog; other times, we're not sending at all, after the other day when I put in some failsafes for the initial issue.

Probably going to add some better logging that everyone can […]
