We're going to take most of our Write.as application down for 12-24 hours due to a security incident. We are doing this out of an abundance of caution for our users while we work to mitigate the issue. Really, really sorry for the inconvenience here. We'll share more information as we can.

Ultimately, we face too much daily spam from non-paid users that make it hard for our small team (me, @baer.works) to do much of anything besides fight them off. So temporarily closing Free accounts is the easiest way to slow the tide a bit. I'm sure we'll open up Free accounts again in the future.
