@rdlmda@rdlmda.me I never saw the point of a registry to be honest, as it defeated the point of what I believed to be a truly decentralised non-social social ecosystem. What can and does work however is a search engine and crawler. I used to run one, but I took it down, mostly because it got expensive to operate, at least the implementation I built… Maybe one day i’ll try again with a SQLite backend.
What @bender@twtxt.net said ☝️
@rdlmda@rdlmda.me We see and read yout mutterings just fine 😅
@rdlmda@rdlmda.me I mean, if you’re talking about a “Follow me” button you can put on your site somewhere and it somehow magically™ works, yeah we haven’t figured out a good way to do this honestly.
@rdlmda@rdlmda.me Exactly! 👍
Replies aren’t actually broken, I just… need to add myself to the follow list?! That’s quite counter-intuitive and (IIRC) not mentioned in the docs. But… It seems to be working now, which is nice (I still don’t know how webmentions and webfinger works, so can’t speak about this so far)
yarnd (what runs here at twtxt.net) actually does this automatically by default. I think it’s just an implementation detail to be honest. There’s nothing about this in the specs over at https://twtxt.dev
@rdlmda@rdlmda.me Haha 😆 I mean I try to, as time poor as I am 🤣 Welcome to our little corner of the Yarniverse as some call it 😅
Wel… It was a very comfortable night’s sleep 😴
@movq@www.uninformativ.de I know it’s crazy right 🤯 these things are just tools. They’re not even remotely intelligent at all. In fact they are actually quite stupid. If you feed it garbage you get garbage out! The only interesting thing is that you get somewhat intelligible garbage out 😂
@bender@twtxt.net exactly! 😂
sleeping in my van tonight, which is parked outside the front of our house just as a test from overnight 😂
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh dear god have we lost our way 🤣 I mean seriously?! Can we no longer think for ourselves? This isn’t even “AI Slop” this is just poor pathetic lack of discipline 🤦♂️ – And, frankly, no leadership.
wow! 🤯

@bender@twtxt.net Indeed 😂
We got at our new van!!! 🥳 
@rdlmda@rdlmda.me You need to use the RFC3339 format. I would recommend you read the specs at https://twtxt.dev – This is what is used by many moden clients these days 😅
@rdlmda@rdlmda.me But I am gad you at least have figured out how to have a feed description and avatar, that’s always nice 👍
@rdlmda@rdlmda.me You also minimally need to be calculate message hases at some point, if you want to form threads that is (copying existing ones is easy) 😅
@bender@twtxt.net That’s not what tehy really want at all 🤣
@rdlmda@rdlmda.me Hello there 👋
@bender@twtxt.net I see. Well that’s not how I think of the term “Isomorphic” 🤣 I keep thinking about graphics and isomorphic games 😅
@kiwu@twtxt.net Lately… A native mobile app for Salty.im 😅
twtxt-lib, a new isomorphic TypeScript library for parsing and interacting with twtxt.txt files. Check out the demo at https://twtxt-lib.itsericwoodward.com/!
@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com Hey 👋
What does:
isomorphic TypeScript library
mean exactly? Hmm 🧐
v2 branch and @doesnm.p.psf.lt has been incredibly helpful so far. Be great ot have a few more folks to join us, some of the v2 highlights include:
@bender@twtxt.net Here is a properly formatted version of your message:

👋 Looking for other interested folks to continue to evolve the development of Salty.im 🙏 I’ve been hard™ at work on the v2 branch and @doesnm.p.psf.lt@doesnm.p.psf.lt has been incredibly helpful so far. Be great ot have a few more folks to join us, some of the v2 highlights include:
- Double Ratchet by default.
- Group Chat (sender/client fan-out for now)
- Much better TUI with background agent.
- Mobile App coming soon™ (iOS in progress, Android next, same codebase)
@aelaraji@aelaraji.com But of course 😅
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Oh! 🤔 Did you link the wrong video or something? 🤔
@thecanine@twtxt.net Love the classic canine 🤩
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I just watched this. And whilst it’s very good and insightful, good history of MySQL and how Martin helped built a good solid Open Source + Commercial model, I’m not seeing the “why people don’t wanna work at your company” bit? What am I missing? 🤔 In any case, he does talk to great length on the importance of Culture and the insane notion of “centrlaised office working”, which I 100% agree with.
Well it’s ~2am and I finally defeated the AI player in a game of Frontier Crown 👑
– On that note I’m now going to bed, I’ve made so many improvements to the aesthetics (UX) of the game, the mechanics, and it’s now quite nicely playable 👌 G’night! 😴
salty-chat TUI client as well, which now includes proper notifications and a background agent that keeps running so you never miss any messages. It all "just works"™ and I'm quite happy with the outcome! 🤩 #saltyim #revamp
@bender@twtxt.net Aye aye capt’n 😅

@bender@twtxt.net Whwn do i see you start to use Salty IM more? 😅

Some pretty pics to illustrate the much improved reference Salty.im client, salty-chat.

I spent the day today integrating @xuu@txt.sour.is’s double ratcheting work and ratchet library back into the reference client/broker implementation saltyim as a v2 branch. I completely redesigned and rewrite the salty-chat TUI client as well, which now includes proper notifications and a background agent that keeps running so you never miss any messages. It all “just works”™ and I’m quite happy with the outcome! 🤩 #saltyim #revamp
Built a new refreshed landing page for Salty IM https://salty.im/ 🥳
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Good point! I’ll update the site a bit more 👌
Trying an experiment. Created a Github repo for mu over at https://github.com/prologic/mu as a social experiment to see if we can maintain a tailored Github docs-only repo of a project, see if it gets any interest 🤔
I think I’ll never eat McDonald’s fries/chips ever again 😱 https://www.youtube.com/shorts/ITRtnPPJPsY
I built Audiofern to make it simple to turn PDFs into audiobooks. Upload a document, get clean, chapterized narration with natural voices, and share it via a hosted player—or download M4A/M4B and keep it forever. Files are private by default, and pricing is transparent: pay once by audio hour or subscribe to build a listening library.
@bender@twtxt.net Ooops fixed 😅
Have finally put together the beginnings of a site for Mu (µ) https://mu-lang.odev 🤞 #mu #mu-lang
