The Deep Dive podcast explores WriteFreely, a platform designed to combat information overload for writers. It emphasizes a radical “back to basics” approach, stripping away distracting features like newsfeeds and notifications to create a distraction-free writing environment. WriteFreely utilizes Markdown for simple, future-proof text formatting, ensuring clean HTML output and fast loading times for readers. A key advantage for beginners is its easy deployment; written in Go, it packages as a static binary, eliminating complex dependencies and allowing it to run on low-powered devices. For database management, it supports SQLite for a simple start, with options to scale up later. WriteFreely connects to the decentralized web via ActivityPub, allowing blogs to integrate with platforms like Mastodon and reach a wider audience. It also supports OAuth 2.0 for seamless user onboarding from other platforms. The platform prioritizes privacy by default, collecting minimal data. It offers robust identity management, allowing a single account to manage multiple, independent blogs, and uses simple hashtags for post organization. WriteFreely is also globally accessible, with support for over 20 languages and non-Latin scripts. The podcast highlights WriteFreely as a revolutionary choice for self-publishing, promoting digital minimalism and self-possession in a feature-bloated digital landscape. They recommend either self-hosting the static binary or using the managed hosting service at write.as, which supports the open-source development. The episode concludes by thanking their supporter, Safeserver.
