@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz you could add an “I host other people stuff” page #Brainstorming 😁

@bender@twtxt.net You said:

as long as those working on clients can reach an agreement on how to move forward. That has proven, though, to be a pickle in the past.

I think this is because we probably need to start thinking about three different aspects to the ecosystem and document them out:

• Specifications (as they are now)
  
• Server recommendations (e.g: Timeline, yarnd, etc)
  
• Client recommendations (e.g: jenny, tt, tt2, twet, etc)

@bender@twtxt.net wut?! Who carries three grand worth of cash in their handbag?! 👜 Haha 😆

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org oh, and thanks for the bigger photo! I like how it lovely fill the twtxt in Yarnd. Woot!

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I can see somebody put a good effort coming up with some pretty cool goodies! We, Floridians, envy your proper April weather. We are toasting already, and it is not even May. Send us some rain, please!

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev nothing stands still, I agree. I think current twtxt has surpassed the initial specification, while still being relatively backwards compliant/compatible but, for how long?

As for new extensions (DM, for example), they should be OK as long as those working on clients can reach an agreement on how to move forward. That has proven, though, to be a pickle in the past.

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Bahahaha so do it all the time 🤣

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev Some good points here that I share and empathize with 🙌

@bender@twtxt.net I see hmmm 🧐

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev Zulu said:

what is twtxt for you?

For me Twtxt is just the underlying format that Yarn.social builds upon 😅

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev Ahh cool! I’ll try following it again 🤣 Mind @-mentioning/linking@twtxt.net the feed again? 🙏

@quark@ferengi.one I know! I saw three Hacker News posts on it in a row 🤣

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev Haha 🤣 We’ve explored this idea in the past and we decided that it’s actually a good idea to have an “append-only” feed for various reasons. We’ve also explored the idea of using Range requests, but opted instead to just archive/rotate our feeds periodically 😅 There really isn’t much point in having a feed in reverse chronological order, except (maybe?) so a human read view the new twts at the top of the file?! 🤣

@prologic@twtxt.net “curated” channels (you can see the guide to see the topics it covers), without the ability to fast forward, nor pause. You know, like live television.

@bender@twtxt.net This is just a website that cycles through random Youtube channels? 🤔

@prologic@twtxt.net check this out. It will make YouTube great again. :-P

@bender@twtxt.net Ahh yes you caught me 🤣

@prologic@twtxt.net really? Then we have a problem with bulleted lists. Let me see:

• This is one.
  
• This is two.
  
• This is three, and final.

@bender@twtxt.net Not copy/paste 🤣 Hand on heart! ❤️ However it was a pretty nice article 😅

@prologic@twtxt.net was this a copy and paste? I am betting $100 it was. DM me for more information. 😅

@prologic@twtxt.net regex is unholy what am i looking at

@prologic@twtxt.net i saw this! so fucked up

@bender@twtxt.net No worries 😉

@prologic@twtxt.net your father, and I, will be very happy. Thank you!

@bender@twtxt.net Lemme look at the old backup…

@prologic@twtxt.net I don’t recall; ask prologic! :-D. I know your father has also mentioned it in the past (one thing I know him and I agree with, LOL).

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz it’s fixed now but lol i’m so good at this stuff aren’t i

@prologic@twtxt.net your live posting when something goes wrong is environmental storytelling it’s so funny help

@kingdomcome@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz at least ur hair kicks ass….

@bender@twtxt.net

I am up to increase the length of a twtxt, though.

Recall what we had this set to for this pod? 🧐

@bender@twtxt.net Really? Wow! 😂

@bender@twtxt.net Hah 🤣

@prologic@twtxt.net meanwhile we have all Korean shamans busy asking for rain. We haven’t had rain for over a month, and the next possibility is at week’s end, this week. Keeping fingers crossed!

And yes, UPS everything! We even have UPSes on TVs.

All these remind me of the “blog” ability once existed in Yarnd. I hate to be the party pooper, but little to non interest from me. LOL. I am up to increase the length of a twtxt, though. It is rather limiting right now.

I am not doing good tonight, twtxt nation. But at least my hair is bangin.

@prologic@twtxt.net That was a different view: https://movq.de/v/7fb10a825d/picam-small.mp4 🎥

@movq@www.uninformativ.de So cool! 😎 Where’s the time lapse video you used to have of this tree? 🌳 Hmm 🧐

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yeah I know 🤣 I found another bug in lextwt 🤦‍♂️ This whole DM / bang-mention thingy has thrown a spanner in the works 🔧 – Even if I wanted to implement it, I’m not even ready to try at the moment 😢

@prologic@twtxt.net I think they’re there, I have a bunch of them 😅 https://movq.de/v/173a153d01/s.png

@kate@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz (as I was trying to say…), Glad you think so👌 My goal with Yarn.social has always been to provide the best (best that I can anyway) truly decentralised (slow) social experience that uses the Twtxt format under the hood 😅

@xuu@txt.sour.is As I also mentioend on IRC I think this is a. bug?

Holy hell?! When I post this:

@<kate https://yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz/user/kat/twtxt.txt> Glad you think so! 👌 My goal with Yarn.social has always been to provide the best (_best that I can anyway!_) truly decentralised (_slow_) social experience that uses the Twtxt format under the hood 😅

Something is swallowing it.

@prologic@twtxt.net these sound so fun! i’m all for them

This expands the usefulness of Twtxt / Yarn.social to:

• Sharing small posts
  
• Sharing links
  
• Sharing media
  
• Having long conversations
  
• Voting on topics, opinions or decisions
  
• RSVPing to virtual or physical events

💡 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.

@kingdomcome@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz YESSSSSSS I ENCOURAGE THIS
