They say when introducing yourself, first impressions matter.

Indeed, this is running on our new Teams [0] infrastructure, so HN is giving us some good real-world testing :) Performance issues should be fixed now.
For anyone who was as confused as I was by this, from the root of the site, in the header, click "Reader" to see the actual blogs and posts from the different authors. The navigability of this site needs some work, I would say.
Is there an RSS feed of the content available, or is this a "make it a part of your daily ritual by clicking on this bookmark when you think something new might have been posted" deal?
Thanks, I did try but The Old Reader told me "No feeds found by that keyword or URL" so I guess between looking around the page for the usual RSS icon and me optimistically pasting the URL into The Old Reader the site died. I'll try later.
Looks like rss feeds are per blog, so just append /feed/ to any author's blog root. I can't find a mechanism to get a feed with all authors content however.
This is how Mastodon works, unfortunately -- it doesn't pull in old posts. But now that you're following the blogs, you'll start seeing any new posts that come in.
> Looks like a viable simpler alternative to WordPress, I will definitely give it a try.
As someone who already tried it, I'd call it more of a Medium alternative. Or, at least, what Medium should have been.
Zero pop-ups, actually clutter-free reading experience, and an opportunity to not just host individual blogs (although that is certainly a feasible use case), but to also bring a community together, run a publication, and give the readers the freedom to consume the content in which ever way they'd like (website, decentralized social networks like Mastodon, RSS reader etc).

Searching github repo for "feed" helped. https://github.com/writeas/writefreely/blob/ac7d72743515fdd7...
