@prologic@twtxt.net TBH, I was just going to try and reverse engineer it from the Go source files, but any other docs you can provide would be helpful, for sure! 🙏
The weekend has flown by. Cannot believe it is Sunday already.
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org That explains a lot! Thank you.
@david@daiwei.me The one with www is correct: https://www.uninformativ.de/twtxt.txt is the canonical URL used in the url = metadata field. (For historical reasons, it also works without www and even with http.)
@david@daiwei.me I don’t want to start the discussion again, but edits wouldn’t be an issue if we had agreed on a better addressing scheme. Maybe edit more as a quiet riot. :-P
Just noticed that you show twice on the search, @movq@www.uninformativ.de. One with www, and one without. I am following with the www. Should I not?
@david@daiwei.me Oh boy, that looks super yummy! :-) I want to have rain here, too!
Hmm, it worked just fine for me. Not going to abuse it though, as those take the very few, little GiBs, I have. 😅
Testing image uploading via the mobile PWA, as @prologic@twtxt.net told me it wasn’t working. Let’s see if it is true.
While playing with Twtxt Search I couldn’t help but remembering the many people that has come and go to twtxt. I mean, it is truly hard to keep one file around an accessible online corner, right? I have done the same, so don’t go calling my hypocrite now! 😅 At least, after many iterations, I am still here. That ought to count for something, right?
Yeah, the worse we ever did was to implement editing and deletions. I now realise twtxt should follow a “written in stone” approach. Having been a strong proponent at a time for edits/deletion, I wholeheartedly regret it.
@david@daiwei.me Ah, edits. Okay. Let’s hope that it’s all fixed then. 🤞
@david@daiwei.me Exactly. Spaces are fixed, tabs always break the layout when the tab sizes are different.
@david@daiwei.me Hahaahaaahaaaahaaaaa, so good! :‘-D
Interesting! I figure that’s why so many people prefer spaces to tabs when coding. A space comes across as more “predictable” than a TAB.
Where in the world is the famous mouse @xuu@txt.sour.is? There is cheese around here, @xuu@txt.sour.is, come on by! ☺️
Oh no!!! 😱
Mum is already mourning the end of the World Cup. “Once it’s over”, she said, “I will have no other option but to go to church.” 😂🤭
Work maintenance completed. A quick shower, and off to mum’s for morning coffee!
wrf?& bbq ?! 🤯😳
😅🤣 Let me know how it goes, and if meets your very stringent requirements, and I will go ahead and get it too. Heck, I will buy three: one to use, one for backup, and one to sell on eBay after a considerable time has passed.
@david@daiwei.me Yes. My old yarn account will be deleted later. I’m waiting for others to follow me.
Nice product, I should probably buy it: https://lyse.isobeef.org/tmp/screenshot-2026-07-12-13-43-17.png
@balloon-fu-sen@tw.fus.f5.si so, use this one to follow, unfollow the other one?
Ah, the “joys” of having young children! Wishing a quick recovery mate! Fluids, rest, and rock-and-roll!
I believe we’ve nailed all the bugs down🤣 Though i am sick at the moment so i’m not at my best 😢
A few threads were broken because of editing. Other than that, are you seeing major issues? I hate broken threads, trust me, so if there is an issue still causing them I want it fixed!
Awesome! 👌
返信・タイムライン確認用アカウントを https://tw.fus.f5.si/twtxt.txt へ引っ越ししました。サーバーで twtd を建てて、twtxt.app で操作する構成にしました。
My account for replies and timeline checks has moved to https://tw.fus.f5.si/twtxt.txt use twtd and twtxt.app.
@prologic@twtxt.net Reflect your changes. It works. Thank you!
@balloon-fu-sen@tw.fus.f5.si Fixed! 🥳 The Avatar URL field now actually gets written to your feed’s # avatar = metadata. Turned out it needed changes in both the app and twtd itself — so you’ll want to update your twtd instance once the new build lands. Thanks for the report! 🙏
@balloon-fu-sen@tw.fus.f5.si Ahhh! That’s a bug! Lemme fix that!
@prologic@twtxt.net The cause of this has been identified. I put the URL into the twtxt.app Avatar URL, but it didn’t appear in the text file. Instead, it was reflected by uploading an avatar.
Yes, I was in trouble with this. It seems that avatars do not exist in twtd’s options. I’m updating my avatar from twtxt.app, but it’s not reflected in the text file.
@balloon-fu-sen@tw.fus.f5.si No Avatar? 🧐
Hello! 🎈 This is a transfer account from nick = balloonfu-sen. (This nick has an added ‘-’)
This account is for replies and timeline checks. My post is from the following account:
- balloon (English): https://balloon.oldcities.org/twtxt.txt
- fu-sen (日本語 Japanese): https://fu-sen.oldcities.org/twtxt.txt
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org True. Although I _think) this isn’t a problem and this thread is m00t 😅
My new account is ready: balloon-fu-sen https://tw.fus.f5.si/twtxt.txt
@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com I would have zero problems with that! If there’s enough demand, I’ll write up the APi spec for it? 🤔
@bender@twtxt.net it was a protest part of the ‘Es reicht’ in front of the Reichstag against the new law in healt system specifically where psychologists and psychoanalysts were affected with it.
@prologic@twtxt.net For what it’s worth, the twt hash extension is specifically modeled after yarnd’s implementation with all the quirks coming from Go’s stdlib: https://twtxt.dev/exts/twt-hash.html#timestamp-format
“All timezones representing UTC must be formatted using the designated Zulu indicator Z rather than the numeric offsets +00:00 or -00:00. If the timestamp does not explicitly include any timezone information, it must be assumed to be in UTC.”
@aelaraji@aelaraji.com @david@daiwei.me @prologic@twtxt.net It looks like tab stops to me, every 8 characters, and the tab character jumps to the next stop (hence different tab widths based on where the tab occurs in relation to the next tab stop).
@prologic@twtxt.net I really like how these two apps pair-up. Seeing as I’m still tweaking TwtKpr, I’m considering adding support for the same APIs as twtd (so maybe it can be used as another backend for Twtxt.App). 🤔
@aelaraji@aelaraji.com @david@daiwei.me @prologic@twtxt.net It depends on the tab size, but often, a tab aligns the following character to next column that is a multiple of eight.

I’m currently building twtd on my VPS. But the current issue is the public domain name 😆
Say hello to the Twtxt Social Graph 😅 
#Twtxt #social #Graph
… this came off more snippy than I wanted it to. Sorry. 😅
Good morning. I’m seeing so many broken threads. You’re still investigating this, right?
