@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… ;)
@prologic@twtxt.net hello. i didn’t realize you had written to me, i didn’t have you on my follow list yet.
i post through twtxt but manage my followers through txtnish… this doesn’t feel right
i didn’t think clients would be necessary for something like twtxt and yet here we are
@prologic@twtxt.net (#https://twtxt.net/search?tag=tsvhqdq OK. Im upgrading my tools. twtxt works pretty well inside an Emacs shell window…
@prologic@twtxt.net I’\“ve thought through the git issue a bit. Comments on https://github.com/jointwt/twtxt/issues/38
in the original twtxt your URL is your identity. No need for anyone outside your control to do account managment. One reason I’ll likely be sticking with command line. But, great work
FWIW, I put up a quick blog last night about using twtxt command line https://eludom.github.io/blog/hello_twtxt/
What flavor or regexp? I tried here https://regexr.com/ with both PCRE and JavaScript and neither seems quite right. I’m relatively good with regexps, but they tend to be write-only :-/
yes. I read that. Nice post. Brave browser at least has trouble with formatting. The regexp got lost when renederd. Eww (emacs text browser) doees just fine with it :-)
@prologic@twtxt.net I tried to sign up @gmj@www.port111.com on twtxt.net, but it said it was already signed up … maybe beause of my command line posts? Any way I can claim gmj?
@prologic@twtxt.net what is the exact syntax neeed for threads to work in the subject, e.g. will (#tsvhqdq) do it? The whole … (#tsvhqdq) thing seems like a bit of overkill. Too many characters.
as the person who motivated CompuServe’s USENET gateway https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-xpm-1994-10-07-9410070309-story.html I’ve see what happens when the unwashed masses are turned loose in techie playgrounds
One very real problem to be aware of is “Eternal September” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternal_September
one problme I’m seeing already is that the “micro” part is loosing out. Things are routinely getting longer than 140 characters
@prologic@twtxt.net I will probably stick with command line client just to make sure it keeps working
@prologic@twtxt.net and the fact that I just used /bin/ed to fix spelling before pushing :-)
@prologic@twtxt.net also the lack of a login and complete decntralization is a big win.
@prologic@twtxt.net twtxt is so simple one could read with netcat, cat and tail. I like that.
@prologic@twtxt.net For now I think I will stay with primitave tools.
Thanks @prologic@twtxt.net
if you thought emails were great at getting stuff lost, wait til you check out this thing called twtxt
@eli_oat@txt.eli.li happy to be an enabler :) I keep finding new uses for Janet as well! It has proven to be a remarkable extension language for !weewiki.
Hey @prologic@twtxt.net! still figuring out how to reply to people. I’m based in the New England in the US. What about you?
added a twtxt activity section on the !monolith page

twtxt, I saw a Renault 5 today, it passed my home, its indicator was flashing… sacre bleu… you don’t see a R5 every day
well, I missed my one-year #twtxt anniversary by a few days. yay?
@eli_oat@txt.eli.li Oh my! Ended up down a fraidyc.at rabbit hole! Thanks! (I think ;-) )
@lyxal@twtxt.net My thoughts exactly! :-D

@eli_oat@txt.eli.li thanks for reading my wiki! janet is pretty cool right? happy noodling.
built a little script for looking up IDs in twtxt tweets: !twtxt_search. Going to use it as a way to look up and reference specific tweets in my wiki.

@inan@tilde.team hello
@hjertnes@hjertnes.social are you using emacs as twtxt client or something? does it render the org markup for you into links?
@lucidiot@tilde.town very cool idea! may have to try something like that at some point…
It turns out that fts5 is enabled by default on SQLite! My twtxt2sqlite generator has been updated to use fts5. Now I can do full text search on all my twtxt tweets. I have implemented a related-tweets box in the !twtxt_playground as a proof-of-concept. More info on fts5 can be found at [[https://www.sqlite.org/fts5.html]].
documenting my experiments with twtxt/weewiki integration at the !twtxt_playground
here is the script I use to convert my twtxt feed into a SQLite database: !twtxt_sqlite
a new twtxt/weewiki feature: any word starting with ‘!’ will translate to an internal weewiki reference in my HTML renderer. Example: here is my !wiki_index
a unique thing I do with my twtxt feed is convert it to a SQLite database. This, combined with the Janet + SQLite scripting abilities available in SQLite, could provide interesting metrics and insights over time.
in particular, twtxt provides timestamps. weewiki doesn’t really track the passage of time. it only wants to be a key/value database with org markup.
