Hey! We're a new app from the @write_as team, helping you accept and review writing submissions on the web.

We're built on the same pared-down writing experience you get with Write.as, and closely integrated with the platform.

Next, we'll support publishing to any #WriteFreely instance, and other blogging / #ActivityPub platforms! Our overall goal is to create a #FOSS submission system built just for digital publications on the web and fediverse.
