Just opened a PR for this: https://github.com/writefreely/writefreely/pull/1491

It ends up putting us in compliance with the ActivityStreams spec, too, by making sure no markup is included in the `name` property.

Realized that the way we do notes on #WriteFreely doesn't work with #mastodon, if you include a title. They don't show up!

So I'll see how it looks if we include it in the body of the Note.

In #WriteFreely news, I just have to wrap up SMTP support (https://writefreely.org/pull/1131) and then I think we can get v0.16 out finally.

Still had features like "require email on signup" on the roadmap for this version, but going to push that to the next release.

Oof our slug-generation library used in @writefreely is way out of date. Will switch to upstream, since our one change was merged, anyway.
