Will there be a self hosted version of snap.as, just as WritefFreely is the self hosted version of write.as?  
If so, when is it expected to be available?

Yep! Eventually, WriteFreely will have all of these different “apps” built directly into it. Some discussion on that here:

> Yep! I’m now thinking the best way to build all of these tools will be to build them into WriteFreely itself, or at the very least use it as the “core.” Then admins can choose which tools to enable / offer to their users.

As for a definite timeline, I don’t have one today, unfortunately. You can check out [our roadmap](https://musing.studio/roadmap), but right now my biggest focus is collaborative blogging on Write.as. Of course, the more interest we see in making Snap.as open source, the more we might be able to prioritize that. But there is also plenty of product development to do before that can happen, I think.

Is there a particular reason you’re interested in a self-hosted version? E.g. do you need photo hosting for your WriteFreely instance?

OK, thanks. We will have to be patience 🙂

Any news on this? Still very interested in hosting my own snap.as site
