💡 I had this crazy idea (or is it?) last night while thinking about Twtxt and Yarn.social 😅 There are two things I think that could be really useful additions to the yarnd UI/UX experience (for those that use it) and as “client” features (not spec changes). The two ideas are quite simple:

  • Voting – a way to cast, collect a vote on a decision, topic or opinion.
  • RSVP – a way to “rsvp” to a virtual (pr physical) event.

Both would use “plain text” on top of the way we already use Twtxt today and clients would render an appropriate UI/UX.

↳ In-reply-to » I asked ChatGPT what it knows about Twtxt 😂 And surprisingly it's rather accurate:

Timeline of Evolution of Twtxt/Yarn.social:

  • 2016 – Twtxt created by John Downey: plain text + HTTP = minimalist microblogging
  • 2017–2019 – Community builds CLI tools, but adoption remains niche
  • 2020 – Yarn.social launched by @prologic@twtxt.net with federation, threading, UI
  • 2021–2023 – Pods sync, user mentions, blocking, search, and media support added
  • 2024+ – Yarn.social becomes the reference Twtxt platform, with active federated pods

I asked ChatGPT what it knows about Twtxt 😂 And surprisingly it’s rather accurate:

Twtxt is a minimalist, decentralized microblogging format introduced by John Downey in 2016. It uses plain text files served over HTTP—no accounts, databases, or APIs.
In 2020, James Mills (@prologic@twtxt.net) launched Yarn.social, an extended, federated implementation with user discovery, threads, mentions, and a full web UI.
Both share the same .twtxt.txt format but differ in complexity and social features.

↳ In-reply-to » The original twt is unavailable. It may have been edited or deleted, or is from an unknown or muted feed.

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev I don’t see any “fighting” here. This is just good experimentation. Unfortunately there hasn’t really been enough time or effort by other “client authors” yet, me especially as I’ve been super busy with ya’ know my “day job” that pays the bills and refactoring yarnd to use a new and shiny and much better SqliteCache 🤣 – I certainly don’t think your efforts are wasted at all. I would however like @doesnm.p.psf.lt@doesnm.p.psf.lt encourage you to look at the work we’ve done as a community (which was also driven out of the Yarn.social / Twtxt community years back).

Would anyone object to the feeds.twtxt.net service having auth soon™ ? 🤔 I’m tired of the garbage feeds that it has accumulated over tie ( spammers) and I want to a) clean it up b) lock it down somewhat.

The idea would be that you’d login with your Yarn.social account on some pod you control/operate or share with a nice person 🤣 – For those unfamiliar, this is called … ⌘ Read more

@kat @yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Haha, that’s why we came up with the name “yarn” and “yarn social”. A yarn is an Australian and Canadian ( and a few other places) term that means “to have a friendly conversation”, “to have a chat”. Usually around a campfire 🔥 ⌘ Read more
