@tfurrows@grex.org It’s not a hard limit, most alternative clients do not care about the amount of characters you’re posting. As long as you don’t write a novel and it still fits on a line… :)

@freemor@freemor.homelinux.net @kas@enotty.dk #twtxt’s quietness is actually something I enjoy about it. I care a lot more about signal-to-noise ratio than I care about the regular activity. It’s also a really fun thing to write clients for to play around with new libraries or languages.

@trqx@0x1A4.1337.cx write a fun numpop clone https://tx.god.jp/code/cnumpop/files.html. I got 590 points with the seed 1493407649, can anyone beat that? :)

I have the feeling that writing twtxt clients will become my prefered test case to learn new languages… :)

@phil@philmcclure.duckdns.org I can’t imagine a simpler time format than rfc3339. I would be fine with just using utc or unix time, but i don’t think most people could write that without a client… :)

I recently tried to write a command like client to GNU social, but after reading the specs on ActivityStreams, Webfinger, PubsubHubbub and Salmon i soon lost interest… :)

I just noticed that i still can win bullseye if write a short tweet for any long tweet i published. Maybe i have to rethink the game… :)

Someone wants to write a vim syntax file for #twtxt? :)

Maybe we should just release the spec and not our clients so that any users is required to write a client.

twtxt: The only social network where every new user starts by writing it’s own client.

@tx@0x1A4.1337.cx But be prepared that you terminal is b0rked! In what language are you writing your client?

Or do you ask because you want to implement a client or server? I can probably write something up, it’s a very minimal api.

This would allow to add comments, preserves whitespace and ordering. And no process will be writing in your file while you’re editing it.

We would have to write a new plugin for that. Which sounds fun… Do you have a have a receiver we can play with?

We’re planning to write one ourselves but i wanted to check the alternatives first.

My one daily hour of programming was spent today with writing tests for txtnix. So tired now …

Been thinking about writing a twtxt-AAS provider.
