Welcome back to the internet
----------------------------
The internet is for connecting with people. Write.as helps you reach them no matter where they live online.
Friends and family can read your words without creating yet another account online. They can read in their browser, via email or RSS, on their e-reader, and on federated platforms like Mastodon.

Focus on your words
-------------------
Write.as is a pared-down blogging platform — a distraction-free place for you to write, and a clean space for your audience to read.
Instead of content management, we focus on writing. You'll see our editor screen first, every time you open the app. You can write in Markdown or switch to our friendly Rich Text editor. Your work is automatically saved to your browser as you write.

### Made for writing
Not complex websites, not e-commerce, not content manÂageÂment. Just writing.
### Easy publishing
Press "PubÂlish" to send your words to the web, social meÂdia, and subÂscriÂbers.
### Ad-free
You'll never see ads while you're focused on your work, and neither will your readers.
Stay independent
----------------
Build a home for your writing, outside of walled gardens and locked-down platforms.
Add your domain name to keep control of your web presence. Make it your own with a custom theme.

Free your thoughts
------------------
Built entirely around [privacy](/privacy), we don't track you or gather excessive data, so you can write exactly what you feel.
Create a professional blog next to one written under a pen name. Publicize your work, or keep it quiet. [Write anonymously](/new), or create as many [identities](https://write.as/blog/identities) as you like. On Write.as, you have full control over who knows what about you.
