We'll have a few sales on Write.as throughout the weekend! But I let this important national holiday slip my mind until today, so not all sales are live yet.

Right now, you can get:

- 25% off our yearly Pro subscription: https://write.as/start/pro
- 33% off the @writefreely iOS app: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/writefreely/id1531530896

And there's plenty more to come. I'll post here and on our @deals blog when everything is available 🙂

Still working on my full post about using the Internet in the #1990s, but I found an old blog entry from 2004 where I was talking about late-90s campus network safety and how I got in trouble for "running a server" because I used Linux to avoid all the pranks and hacking going around with everyone's Windows 95 computers.

💬 I created a matrix room for karrot! --> https://matrix.to/#/#karrot:matrix.org come and chat!

❓ not sure if we'll keep it going, but want to see how it is, and I usually have matrix open now

❌ we currently have a self-hosted rocket chat, but don't use it much (we discuss karrot using karrot now, but it's not public, though you can sign up and join, the matrix room seems it might be useful... let's see)
