@prologic@twtxt.net If it develops, and I’m not saying it will happen soon, perhaps Yarn could be connected as an additional node. Implementation would not be difficult for any client or software. It will not only be a backup of twtxt, but it will be the source for search, discovery and network health.

New article: “E2E Testing with TestCafe on Docker.”
I’ll show you how to get started with TestCafe, a framework for performing E2E tests.

#docker #testcafe #e2e #testing #javascript #webdev
I’m sharing a short tutorial, in Spanish, for self-hosting #twtxt with Docker:
https://programadorwebvalencia.com/twtxt-desplegar-tu-feed-con-docker/
What does the #twtxt community think about having a p2p database to store all history? This will be managed by Registries.
I think we are approaching a new step.
Good shot!
@prologic@twtxt.net We often turn to a database when we can use a plain text file, such as a CSV. With sed or awk, you can run simple queries without using a database.
Did I get the context right? 😀
Today I learned how to use TestCafé. It is a E2E framework.
I needed it because I wanted to write a script that would launch a browser in the background, log me in with a username and password, and return the cookie value with the token ID. The goal is to perform tests with the token.

The other day, after a discussion online, we came to the conclusion that using awk+sed+tr could replace much of the development that requires a database. However, using SQLite to have a SQL syntax isn’t a bad idea either. What do you think?
calendar.txt: Keep your calendar in a plain text file

It’s a lot of fun to have a calendar system.
@prologic@twtxt.net Thank you 😁
You can find the #twtxt-el channel in Libera IRC to talk about the twtxt.el client, I will keep my connection open so you can ask me questions. Thank you!
Hacer software código opensource es desafiante y paulatinamente desgasta a su autor. Todo comienza con pasión y entusiasmo, por supuesto. Si logras repercusión, te enfrentas a una carrera de fondo que muchos terminan abandonando por las demandas constantes de usuarios que, a menudo, no valoran el trabajo ni contribuyen de manera significativa. Por mencionar un caso reciente: Hector Martin. Líder del proyecto Asahi Linux, quien dedicó años a adaptar Linux para los procesadores Apple Silicon, un logro técnico impresionante. Sin embargo, terminó renunciando debido a la presión de usuarios que exigían soporte y mejoras como si fueran clientes pagos.
La mayoría de los mantenedores no reciben ningún soporte económico. Solo unos pocos proyectos logran sostenibilidad financiera a través de patrocinios, mientras que la mayoría de los desarrolladores terminan con un segundo empleo no remunerado.
Sin un cambio en la forma en que se valora y apoya los proyectos Opensource, y no solo hablo de las grandes empresas multimillonarias. Sería una perdida para todos si acabaremos con un ecosistema de software archivado y abandonado.
Ahora te paso la pelota a ti, ¿cuando fue la última vez que apoyaste a un mantenedor de software opensource?
I have released new updates to the twtxt.el client.
In the next version you will be able to see all your mentions.
Enjoy!
Oh my god! 😵
@eapl.me@eapl.me There are several points that I like, but I want to highlight number 7. https://text.eapl.mx/a-few-ideas-for-a-next-twtxt-version #twtxt
I really like the proposal and your ideas. I have been reading your articles and several points seem very interesting to me.
I show you the website of Baldo, my little black cat (the pocket panther).

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org What do you think about this? https://git.mills.io/yarnsocial/twtxt.dev/issues/14
How do you edit? What steps do you follow?
Check now please
I make a Emacs theme with a contrast ready for colour blind or visually impaired people.

Good luck @arne@uplegger.eu !
@bender@twtxt.net I understand 😅
Question to the twtxt veterans, are we experiencing an explosion of clients or is this a regular occurrence?
What do you think about this?
@xuu@txt.sour.is What books do you have?
I have the same feeling at my job. Every time I return to old projects, it’s like my first time.
This document is the result of a series of discussions between Robert “Uncle Bob” Martin and John Ousterhout, held between September 2024 and February 2025. The text addresses three main topics: method length, comments, and Test Driven Development (TDD).
https://github.com/johnousterhout/aposd-vs-clean-code/blob/main/README.md
This is something to read and reflect on for days.
I read a lot about Clean Code, SOLID, TDD, DDD… now I’m discovering «A Philosophy of Software Design»… but nobody talks about the importance of the project architecture. Do we depend on the framework to do the work for us?
You know I’m a big fan of Clean Architecture, but I feel alone when I share my thoughts on social media or at work.
You have to think outside the framework.
I have released new updates to the twtxt.el client.
The new version I will try to finish the visual thread. You still can’t see the thread yet.
What do you think? Where is the problem?
@prologic@twtxt.net Looks great with the new logo.
@arne@uplegger.eu @eapl_en@eapl.me I’m sorry if I don’t respond to a reply. I don’t have a notification system for mentions at the moment. The work is manual!
I added to my bookmark. Good job @arne@uplegger.eu 🙌
Oh my god! How cool 😍! When I have my implementation, you and I will talk 🤫
This message has made me very excited 😋
I suspect the problem is that the content is updated. It looks like a design problem.
@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Can you give me examples of hashes that you have detected wrong between Emacs client and twtxt.net?
Perhaps there is some character, some space, that is creating the discrepancy.
@arne@uplegger.eu Amazing!!! 😋
Good article: NGINX, try_files is evil too
https://www.getpagespeed.com/server-setup/nginx-try_files-is-evil-too
I really like the concept of “twt”. It’s the perfect blend of txt and twtxt. An abbreviated form. Even though it’s the name given to posts, I personally find it very nice.
#twtxt
[ ↳ Reply to twt ] button?
I don’t think so, at least the tests I did passed. If you’re pretty sure it’s a bug, please create an issue in the repository with the specific case and I’ll investigate it.
There are 2 buttons to make replicas, one makes a replica in the thread where the twt is located (this is the one that should be used the most, as it serves a thread), the other creates a replica to a specific twt.
I’ll let you know a bit about the status: I’m just now implementing the thread screen. There you can be sure where you are. It’s a bit confusing right now, sorry. I think the client is still in alpha. When I’ve finished what I’m doing, and the direct message system, I’ll freeze development and focus on creating more tests, looking for bugs and making small visual adjustments.
@eapl_en@eapl.me Your notes are amazing! I’m going to save them for when I do my implementation. Great job!
@arne@uplegger.eu Hi! I love that you’re implementing it! Maybe, when we’re both done, we could test the clients by communicating both.
I don’t think I’m going to be able to help you much, my knowledge of OpenSSL and PHP is not as high as I’d like it to be.
Maybe the OpenSSL version uses SHA-1 by default in PHP. Or that the IV is derived together with the key (not generated separately). But I’m not able to answer your questions, sorry.
I’m invoking the commands directly, without any libraries in between. Maybe that would help you?
Today is an important day. We have a new extension: Direct message 🪇🗨️🚀🥳❤️
