Hello,

the pro version of write.as has the option to set a “social icon” for each blog. I am using the self-hosted version of WriteFreely. Is there any chance to get something like **“social icons” also for WriteFreely** in the near future?

Thank you very much  
Hermann Josef

P.S.: I really appreciate WriteFreely as a great piece of software. Thank you for this work!

Glad you’re enjoying WriteFreely! Our next version, v0.17, will indeed have photo uploads and support setting social icons! Tracking that issue here:

That sounds great! Thank you very much, Matt! Is there already an approximate date for when version v0.17 will be released?

Hi Matt,

Thanks for the v0.17 release! I noticed that the social icons feature (T925) we talked about earlier didn’t make it into this update. I was just wondering if there is any chance this feature is now planned for the upcoming v0.18 release? I’m still really looking forward to it!

Thanks again for all the great work you put into WriteFreely!

Best,
