Hi everyone. I just love Writefreely and I’ve dabbled in enabling the web monetization option but I just read that [Coil.com](http://Coil.com) is closing its doors on March 15.

Are there any plans on replacing the coil web monetization with something else? I think it’s a great feature.

Thanks in advance.

Though Coil will be shutting down, work on the Web Monetization standard will carry on with the [Interledger Foundation](https://interledger.org/). So we plan to continue supporting that in WriteFreely going forward.

I’m meeting with folks at Interledger in a couple weeks, and should have some more details on what that will mean for everyone then. I’ll update you here when I have more info!

Fantastic news to hear Matt! I’m looking forward to any outcome because I think it’s a smart thing to do.

Thanks for the great platform BTW.

A few months later… and I’m wondering what support exists for Web Monetization. I’ve gone to the Interledger Foundation website, but what I see there seems to be oriented towards developers. How can a content creator monetize their blog?

Of course, what I mean here is how to use micropayments with my instance of writefreely. I already know about ko-fi, Patreon, etc., etc., etc.
