@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Yes, I often read the raw messages. But more to the point, the simplicity of the format is the bulk of the appeal.

@vain@www.uninformativ.de I have seen it pop up on a few feeds around and adopted it into the new parser I built.

The format I have followed has been '# ' :whitespace: :key-name: :whitespace: '=' :whitespace: :value: keys can be repeated and accessed like an array of values.

with !zet and !zetdo, I find myself constantly needing to type out UUIDs. thing is, they aren’t the easiest thing to type. might invent an intermediate typer-friendly intermediate UUID format that can then convert to the regular UUID format. #halfbaked

I’m finding the microblogging format to be really useful for working out ideas.

@vain@www.uninformativ.de i don’t think mastodon is a good idea but then again i never really understood the twitter format and its appeal, so there’s that.

@prologic@twtxt.net kinda.. It can parse the twts into an AST.. but most of the formatting out expects a string to do regex over rather then the parsed AST. thats what i am working out next.

@prologic@twtxt.net as promised! https://github.com/JonLundy/twtxt/blob/xuu/integrate-lextwt/types/lextwt/lextwt_test.go#

the lexer is nearing completion.. the tough part left is rooting out all the formatting code.

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 :-)

my #breathingcard etudes are 128x64 resolution videos with 4x zoom, that normally use no more than 4 colors (2-bits) using a 2-bit color storage format, that’s ~7mb a minute for raw uncompressed 60 fps video. not bad. #halfbakedideas

I’ve been thinking about storing the output of some of my audio-visual etudes in a more portable lossless 4-bit indexed color format, rather than rely on x264 directly. #halfbakedideas #etudes #breathingcards #longterm

@kas@enotty.dk I like your gopher server’s formatting, nice and clean and how did you implement the TLS certificate?

Funny how not that long ago I made a remark to a friend who was keeping all his notes as txt files and now I am looking at doing exactly that. txt will probably be the one format that will be around for a very long time still.

Hey, does Amazing Stranger share staff with Battle Programmer Shirase or is there just a lot of accidental style similarities for, like, budget and format reasons?

This, except unironically: https://makefrontendshitagain.party/ ; interfaces ought to be rich & individual representations of the underlying models, unless people are required/forced to use them, in which case all formatting should be able to be stripped automatically.

it did! i guess. the date format is different though

This book is pretty good but Alex Wright keeps calling things like codex formats & indices ‘literary hypertext’. No, that’s just text. Yes, I get that hypertext is more text than text; that’s why it’s hyper.

@reednj@twtxt.xyz I think this would be the first time two clients implement the same #metadata format.

@reednj@twtxt.xyz Ah, yeah, good catch, @8ball@domgoergen.com checks the full mention format.

@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… :)

@freemor@freemor.homelinux.net Thanks for the reference! How do you create your timeline? Would it help if you had access to the unformatted timeline? Before formatting it’s nick “t” url “t” props “t” unixtime “t” msg

@dracoblue@dracoblue.net The problem is that my ini parser does not remove quotes around values and twtxt’s does. Another parser? Another format? sigh

And INI is a weird format for sharing config. Even in perl one library can’t parse the result of the other. :/ Maybe TOML?

#txtnix displays relative dates when setting time_format to “relative”.

You have to set use_color = 1 and display_format = pretty to get colorized output in #txtnix.

The pretty format is very similar to twtxt without the unicode glyphs and the relative date.
