apparently you can compose multi-line twtxt’s with txtnish but it won’t render them? maybe should patch it to support the line-break proposal here? https://dbohdan.com/wiki/twtxt-line-breaks

Oh fun. I was not active on txtnish for a while and now all the feeds are 404 :( I miss you guys…

that’s it. I’m sticking to this txtnish client.

@prologic@twtxt.net It did, posting from txtnish, nice to know. #utwnv7q

@prologic@twtxt.net Txtnish adds a 28 character timestamp to the message, so in Bash: tweet=tail -1 the current twtxt.txt file and then pipe echo body=${tweet:28} to twt.

Using twt as a post_tweet_hook for txtnish to re-post to a twtxt “pod” https://github.com/jointwt/twtxt

Setting up txtnish on the Linux side of one of my computers that runs CloudReady. #twtxt #txtnish #chromeos

okay. txtnish is now officially sketchy. sometimes feeds don’t update, even if I run txtnish update, and this means missing replies. I gotta find something else if I’m going to make this more than a write-only experience.

@prologic@twtxt.net to answer some of your previous questions, i’m using txtnish for my timeline and user controls, and plain twtxt for posting. the alternative to that would be setting up a bunch of shell aliases or small scripts. or making my own client in Go. There’s a thought… ;)

i post through twtxt but manage my followers through txtnish… this doesn’t feel right

txtnish isn’t picking up my timezone it seems… strange

I think I got txtnish working better for me now. hopefully I’ll be able to reply/see replies now! #updates

I’m using a wrapper around txtnish called !say to make it easer to tweet stuff.

all I have to do is hit “say”, write a few bits of things, and then hit ENTER. much easier than using txtnish directly.

@prologic@prologic.github.io You can import twtxts config via txtnish quickstart. I hope that still works… ?!

txtnish has an experimantal userinterface based on fzf since yesterday. What do you think? A reply feature is still missing, but that shouldn’t be that hard.

Well, it was not a proper fix, more like a duck-tape mend, the right thing to do is to add a BSD branch and fix the calls to BSD’s awk and fmt so they produce the data in the way the rest of the code expects it. #txtnish #gnu #bsd

Fixed txtnish timeline formatting of hashtags on BSD by installing coreutils and replacing fmt with gfmt in the configuration file #twtxt #txtnish #gnu #bsd

@kas@enotty.dk Using txtnish I am also getting a 403 on https://buckket.org/twtxt.txt

This one is coming to you from the Alfred launcher https://albertlauncher.github.io/ and a Bash script calling txtnish https://github.com/mdom/txtnish and oysttyer https://github.com/oysttyer/oysttyer #microblogging

Do I need to configure txtnish to output the same date format as twtxt? May need to #RTFM

Testing txtnish on my main laptop, neither the original twtxt client nor the js version worked here.

@lucidiot@tilde.town, thanks for the bug report. Does anybody have an idea for https://github.com/mdom/txtnish/issues/12?

I just pushed a fix for https://github.com/mdom/txtnish/issues/11. It seems to work but i have currently no test suite for txtnish, so please don’t hesitate to inform me if anything weird happens with mentions.

@mdosch@mdosch.de Can you maybe summarize the problem our maybe even raise an issue for txtnish?

@metamurks@www.metamurks.org: Also, maybe switch to my https url: https://codevoid.de/tw.txt - txtnish can deal with gopher, but it would always fetch the full file even when nothing has changed (gopher doesn’t support HEAD requests). So https might be faster.

@nblade@nblade.sdf.org The newest txtnish can show the users other users are following: txtnish following mdom (if mdom is my nick on your system)

New feature for txtnish: After setting add_metadata to 1, txtnish will, uhm, add metadata to your twtfile. Currently i only add followings, client and your gpg fingerprint. See my file for an example.

@mdosch@mdosch.de: Yes, #txtnish uses curl and can therefore handle all curl supported protocols.

This tweet was written on an iphone. (via http proxy to gopher to txtnish)

@mdom@domgoergen.com: I’m using txtnish on FreeBSD and I had to switch it to gawk (not sure why BSD awk fails) and disable color. Just fyi. I didn’t look into it any further.

fmt removed my escape sequences on openbsd. txtnish now defaults to fold -s, which makes even more sense as it is specified by posix.

txtnish people can follow me via gopher! @ gopher://codevoid.de/0/tw.txt

Damn, colors are not working on openbsd! #txtnish

Maybe without a new command? txtnish follow mdom http://new_url.com would just work and add a alias? And unfollow http://new_url.com would remove it?

What do you think about adding aliases to txtnish’ follow file? So mentions could be collapsed for different urls of the same twtxt file?

Small feature for txtnish: You can now unfollow multiple accounts in one call, so i’m ready for the next stream of 404.

So, what a month, a new home and a new daughter! And slightly less important, txtnish was featured on The Changelogs weekly newsletter.

And i liked @dave@davebucklin.com’s version so much, i copied his banner. Maybe i should create a empty twtfile with the banner in #txtnish quickstart :)

#txtnish supports exporting your timeline to html with –theme html since last night. See https://domgoergen.com/twtxt/timeline.html for an example.

The latest #txtnish will check the url key to change the twturl you’re following. Like an inline 304.

I shouldn’t use @foo in git commits https://github.com/mdom/txtnish/commit/42f9715b7d136393a2665566ee96b61bd1a20a87

New stuff in #txtnish: Better argument parser, automatic url rewriting for redirects and a new silly mode that let you share urls like @kas@enotty.dk

#txtnish now supports long options! It’s not easy to implement all cases, but it wasn’t as hard as i though it would be.

@kas@enotty.dk Yeah, i though about adding it for the future ncurses frontend. Maybe i could also add the urls as comment in txtnish reply.

#txtnish now accepts ws as seperator and timestamps without T

@phil@philmcclure.duckdns.org I don’t just throw away lines i can’t parse, but try to fix as many errors as possible. But eventually you have to give up. https://github.com/mdom/txtnish/blob/master/bin/txtnish#L368

What about benaiah first idea for #issue48? It would be easy to parse, looks very unixlike and doesn’t clash with the current syntax? I would implement it for txtnish, if it wouldn’t be the only implementation… :)

@freemor@freemor.homelinux.net Or we resort the timline to have the newest entries on top, then you could just request the first x bytes of every feed. But archiving is definitly the pragmatic solution. Get back to me if you want to have that in txtnish. Or maybe someone want to submit a PR?

#txtnish can send new tweets per mail to you with txtnish mail bob@example.com … the only missing step is to tweet via mail. #mobile
