Hi everyone!

Welcome to the latest edition of your pseudo-monthly JMP update!

In case it’s been a while since you checked out JMP, here’s a refresher: JMP lets you send and receive text and picture messages (and calls) through a real phone number right from your computer, tablet, phone, or anything else that has a Jabber client.  Among other things, JMP has these features: Your phone number on every device; Multiple phone numbers, one app; Free as in Freedom; Shar … ⌘ Read more

@mckinley@twtxt.net i use pass along with the android and browser-pass clients. it is very good and keeping in sync is pretty simple.

@kdx@kdx.re: I suggest you to try twtwt client, it’s also written in C: https://github.com/win0err/twtwt

Nice to see that there is such a variety of MicroPub clients, next to Quill, Micropublish and the mobile app Indigenous, there’s also sparkles. But on the desktop, I mostly just use GoBlog’s editor nowadays. It has live sync and and a live preview, which is sometimes very helpful. But flexibility is the key, use what fits you and the situation the best. ⌘ Read more

@prologic@twtxt.net I guess that refresh field could be easily replaced with Expires HTTP header (I realize that users on neocities.org cannot control this header, for example). And clients should also respect headers like Last-Modified/If-Modified-Since (304), you’re right about that. P.S. twtwt doens’t have a caching mechanism for now, but I plan to implement it in generic way using HTTP headers.

@prologic@twtxt.net: I understand the benefits of using hashes, it’s much easier to implement client applications (at the expense of ease of use without the proper client). I must say that I like the way the metadata extension is done. Simple and elegant! It’s hard to design simple things!

@prologic@twtxt.net On the one hand, twtxt has become more popular thanks to Yarn.social. On the other hand, subject and hashtag extensions took away the simplicity of the protocol. For example, it is impossible to understand which conversation (#base32hash) a tweet refers to or to reply to a tweet without going to a yarn.social pod. Compare with re: in this tweet which can be written without using any client at all

JMP: Writing a Chat Client from Scratch

@prologic@twtxt.net Yeah I am not one of these people who just have a twtxt file and end up posting a few things but not interacting with anyone. I do want to interact with the people of twtxt and yarn users. And not just twtxt users but I do care somewhat about the yarn users because really yarn is twtxt but with additions to make the experience better and a webui and the such like multi users. On top of that yarn and the twtxt clients add things like threads that are even helpful for twtxt users.

@prologic@twtxt.net That is why yarn is better then something like activity pub. Everything over on activity pub tries to work with Mastodon not because its better but because its the most popular. Twtxt clients on the other hand tries to work with the yarn additions because most of the additions improve things even for twtxt users.

@prologic@twtxt.net I never tried out any of the other clients except jenny with mutt. The best thing about yarn vs something like Mastodon is that its more promoted of the specification of twtxt files instead of server part. Twtxt can be hosted on some free static site host or some git server even so its really low resouces. Just a basic text file. As far as I know yarn is mostly just a web ui around twtxt and an extnetion to the specification to add some more usability and modern things. Anyone can join decentrilized network by having a twtxt file somewhere. If you want to support the specification of twtxt then that is really something most projects don’t do and they promote the server software mostly.

(cont.)

Just to give some context on some of the components around the code structure.. I wrote this up around an earlier version of aggregate code. This generic bit simplifies things by removing the need of the Crud functions for each aggregate.

A domain object can be used as an aggregate by adding the event.AggregateRoot struct and finish implementing event.Aggregate. The AggregateRoot implements logic for adding events after they are either Raised by a command or Appended by the eventstore Load or service ApplyFn methods. It also tracks the uncommitted events that are saved using the eventstore Save method.

type User struct {
  Identity string ```json:"identity"`

  CreatedAt time.Time

  event.AggregateRoot
}

// StreamID for the aggregate when stored or loaded from ES.
func (a *User) StreamID() string {
	return "user-" + a.Identity
}
// ApplyEvent to the aggregate state.
func (a *User) ApplyEvent(lis ...event.Event) {
	for _, e := range lis {
		switch e := e.(type) {
		case *UserCreated:
			a.Identity = e.Identity
			a.CreatedAt = e.EventMeta().CreatedDate
        /* ... */
		}
	}
}

Events are applied to the aggregate. They are defined by adding the event.Meta and implementing the getter/setters for event.Event

type UserCreated struct {
	eventMeta event.Meta

	Identity string
}

func (c *UserCreated) EventMeta() (m event.Meta) {
	if c != nil {
		m = c.eventMeta
	}
	return m
}
func (c *UserCreated) SetEventMeta(m event.Meta) {
	if c != nil {
		c.eventMeta = m
	}
}

With a domain object that implements the event.Aggregate the event store client can load events and apply them using the Load(ctx, agg) method.

// GetUser populates an user from event store.
func (rw *User) GetUser(ctx context.Context, userID string) (*domain.User, error) {
	user := &domain.User{Identity: userID}

	err := rw.es.Load(ctx, user)
	if err != nil {
		if err != nil {
			if errors.Is(err, eventstore.ErrStreamNotFound) {
				return user, ErrNotFound
			}
			return user, err
		}
		return nil, err
	}
	return user, err
}

An OnX command will validate the state of the domain object can have the command performed on it. If it can be applied it raises the event using event.Raise() Otherwise it returns an error.

// OnCreate raises an UserCreated event to create the user.
// Note: The handler will check that the user does not already exsist.
func (a *User) OnCreate(identity string) error {
    event.Raise(a, &UserCreated{Identity: identity})
    return nil
}

// OnScored will attempt to score a task.
// If the task is not in a Created state it will fail.
func (a *Task) OnScored(taskID string, score int64, attributes Attributes) error {
	if a.State != TaskStateCreated {
		return fmt.Errorf("task expected created, got %s", a.State)
	}
	event.Raise(a, &TaskScored{TaskID: taskID, Attributes: attributes, Score: score})
	return nil
}

The following functions in the aggregate service can be used to perform creation and updating of aggregates. The Update function will ensure the aggregate exists, where the Create is intended for non-existent aggregates. These can probably be combined into one function.

// Create is used when the stream does not yet exist.
func (rw *User) Create(
  ctx context.Context,
  identity string,
  fn func(*domain.User) error,
) (*domain.User, error) {
	session, err := rw.GetUser(ctx, identity)
	if err != nil && !errors.Is(err, ErrNotFound) {
		return nil, err
	}

	if err = fn(session); err != nil {
		return nil, err
	}

	_, err = rw.es.Save(ctx, session)

	return session, err
}

// Update is used when the stream already exists.
func (rw *User) Update(
  ctx context.Context,
  identity string,
  fn func(*domain.User) error,
) (*domain.User, error) {
	session, err := rw.GetUser(ctx, identity)
	if err != nil {
		return nil, err
	}

	if err = fn(session); err != nil {
		return nil, err
	}

	_, err = rw.es.Save(ctx, session)
	return session, err
}

This is, perhaps, the greatest bug report of all time. IRC clients should specify a Gentoo-specific username: https://bugs.gentoo.org/35890

• information on if a conversation is muted (and if so how long a conversation is muted for)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de @prologic@twtxt.net I just reread the spec and it seems to be even a bit outdated regarding machine-parsable conversation grouping. We long dropped the need to specify a whole hash tag with URL (#<hash url>), the simplified version without the URL (#hash) is enough.

The hash tag extension specification is kind of missing the same. However, I’m not sure if that short form is considered supported in general (as opposed to be a special case for subjects only) by the majority of the twtxt/yarn community.

Now the question arises, in order to keep things simple, should we even only allow the simplified twt hash tag for subjects and forbid the long version? This would also save quite a bit of space. The URL is probably not shown anyways in most clients. And if so, clients might rewrite URLs to their own instances. On the other hand, there’s technically nothing wrong with the long version in current parser implementations. And deprecating stuff without very good reason isn’t cool.
