@bender@twtxt.net GoToSocial is actually great 👍 I’ve run it while testing/devel;ing my first activity pub integration for yarnd I would run it myself permanently, except that I honestly prefer Twtxt and want to keep Yarn.social alive and moving forward (even if slowly).

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci while mentioning Mastodon simpler alternatives, I think GoToSocial is worth one. :-)

@bender@twtxt.net Cool 😎

@prologic@twtxt.net right. It has the neat visual appeal (without going too much overboard), that could make a remake of Yarn UI better looking. For what I can see it is most feature rich, but haven’t compared them both in excruciating details to be absolutely sure.

That is not to say that Picnic CSS is bad, nor that I don’t like it. In a level of being decently simple, they both are. Bulma just comes across as more polished, that’s all.

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci Fair 👌

I think @abucci@anthony.buc.ci and @stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no are running snac? I didn’t have a closer look at snac (no intention of running it), but if that is a relatively small daemon (maybe comparable to Yarn?) that gives you access to the whole world of ActivityPub, then, well, yeah … That’s tough to beat.

Yes, I am running snac on the same VPS where I run my yarn pod. I heard of it from @stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no, so blame him 😏 snac is written in C and is one simple executable, uses very little resources on the server, and stores everything in JSON files (no databases or other integrations; easy to save and migrate your data) . It’s definitely like yarn in that respect.

I haven’t been around yarn much lately. Part of that is that I’ve been very busy at work and home and only have a limited time to spend goofing off on a social network. Part of it is that I’m finding snac very useful: I’ve connected with friends I’d previously lost touch with, I’ve found useful work-related information, I’ve found colleagues to follow, and even found interesting conferences to attend. There’s a lot more going on over there.

I guess if I had to put it simply, I’d say I have limited time to play and there are more kids in the ActivityPub sandbox than this one. That’s not a ding on yarn–I like yarn and twtxt–I’m just time constrained.

@bender@twtxt.net I guess if you’re going to support the choice of Bulma (and the reason for this Yarn in the first place is I’m pretty rubbish when it comes to UI/UX, so I need all the help I can get! 🤣) – You need to help me understand; Is Bulma a better choice because you see “components” it has that may be useful in a new (say) Yarn 2.0? Or is Picnic CSS enough? 🤔

@prologic@twtxt.net it is a matter of taste. I see Bulma as more complete.

@bender@twtxt.net @mckinley@twtxt.net If you had to pick between Picnic CSS and Bulma? Which would you choose? 🤔 And why?

Do we have another crack at a Twtxt <-> ActivityPub service?

So… What does a lightweight yarnd 2.0 even look like? Hmm 🧐

Whoo! 😳 We run 5-0 (games) tonight in table-tennis 🎾 My tam mate also won her 2 singles for the first time! 😅 Whoohoo!

@prologic@twtxt.net LOL. A landing “page” with just an image (animated GIF), nothing further. Hopefully that’s not what @aelaraji@aelaraji.com has in mind!

@prologic@twtxt.net you know, wives will always find something they don’t like. I think they did a good job. Wish it was cheaper, but considering the have to redo walls, tiles (floor and shower walls), relocate drain, and water lines, do new floor boards, painting, new cabinets, new toilet, new lights. I mean, it was truly an entire remodeling. Worth it.

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Like deebs.net

🤔

I have finally decided on creating a proper… (landing page?) home page or whatever it is for my domain name.

It has been the same eye soar of a blank white page for years now.
And this, is when I had something I wanted to toy with in the background,
otherwise, which is most of the time, to be precise, It wasn’t pointing at anything at all. 😅

Wow three different opinions 🤣

@movq@www.uninformativ.de ahahahahah 🤣🤣🤣

@shreyan@twtxt.net True! And I agree 👌

I’m not sure what the plans are anymore 😢 I still love the simplicity of Twtxt too and I’ve always seen this project as more of an “ecosystem”.

Appreciate the positive kind words, but you’re right, “momentum” has died a lot and I don’t have as much spare time or energy as I used to.

@bender@twtxt.net Ouch! 🤣 Was/Is it worth it? 🤔

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Yup! And to be fair to @dfaria@twtxt.net this is a general problem.

That only works if you’re a user of said pod right? 🤔 Is this going to be the majority of cases or do we have to also worry about anonymous users (and crawlers/bots) where the “Discover” view is essentially the pods front page?

It somehow reminded me of https://youtu.be/FNE75XznfIE?si=Qw2E9VX9JPSSI70g, I was looking for hidden messages in the letters. :P

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com today I learned! Thank you! I shall use it at work to impress my Arabic speaking friends. Have an amazing week!
