Things I Want Writefreely To Have

September 28, 2021

So far I like Writefreely. It's relatively easy to setup and host, the layout and typography are nice, and it uses Markdown which makes sense to me.

There's a few features I wish it had:

Image upload and insert. Apparently this is proposed for Writefreely but has yet to be implemented.
Easy API extension support. It has a login system already and other features. It's I be nice to be able to add features as needed using it. Things like image upload.
There is a classic editor and the direct Markdown editor. It can be changed via a config. It'd be sweet if it could be toggled through the UI.

Maybe I'll take a shot at implementing these features, but that requires time. Also an understanding of Go.

So maybe not too.

EDIT: I came up with an easy enough way to workaround image uploads. I have NextCloud setup already. I made a spot to drop images and share them there. Easy peasy!
