In-reply-to » @zvava love the direction this is heading, hope this soon evolves into a basic Android app, usable with any instance.

Wanting to add, this isn’t a twtxt client. It is Yarnd on steroids! 😂

In-reply-to » @zvava I am getting [2025/09/11 12:56:01.816] ⇒ please set config.host when trying to run "bbycll". How to bypass that tiny hurdle?

Hmm, twtxt Yarn is misbehaving. Can’t even edit, nor delete. Oh well.

Hmm, not experiencing that. Using Zen (Firefox), under Linux, with uBlock Origin.

In-reply-to » wait....so i'm like nearly done? it just works? and it's fast? this feels like the end of the first all-nighter i pulled where i just got post creation done, unaware of the three weeks that would follow — like looking at the roadmap i'm definitely not done but bbycll is like actually kind of usable now o.o

@zvava@twtxt.net that makes it even more so exciting! 😂

Whoever will be the first to inform him, the spikes aren't real gold and it's most likely not even leather, meaning it's not what he's really been searching the universe for, better prepare themselves, to be jumped on, bitten and shredded by claws.

@thecanine@twtxt.net super well done! I especially love that tail. I can almost see it moving!

In-reply-to » Woooooaaaahh, that's bloody amazing! I wish I'd had a teacher like that.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org that’s an amazing way to teach, and one many old school (I remember my father telling me “schools need to teach both theoretical and practical skills!”) people will agree with. The fact that graduates need to learn on the job after they graduate exemplifies the importance of hands on.

Woot, thank you! Using a config.json like this:

{
  "host": "localhost:31212",
  "protocols": ["http"]
}

Indeed did the trick! I know it isn’t production ready, but I wanted to see with my own eyes, locally, how did it look. :-) I like where you are going! It is looking very nice, and polished. Can’t wait for an alpha, beta, and release!

In-reply-to » we are now parsing and recursively fetching remote feeds somewhat successfully, gotta work on the media proxy and markdown way more, so so many fucky edgecases....my friend's feed with like four posts parsed correctly so i tried this account's feed and well now im not going to bed on time

@zvava@twtxt.net it is amazing how much you have accomplished in such a short time. Take time to sleep, though! :-)

In-reply-to » @lyse retwts are a discovery feature! on federated platforms with no algorithm where you only ever see posts from accounts you explicitly follow, the element of "hey look at this!" helps users to find other accounts they might like organically

@zvava@twtxt.net I gave this, in my mind, a like/star/love.

In-reply-to » Since Google announced their intentions to heavily limit sideloading on Android, starting end of 2026, I've been looking for potential solutions, for this policy change, that threatens the majority of projects I maintain, in some way. Google already killed my browser project years ago, but I have no other choice, than to fight this, any way I can.

@thecanine@twtxt.net or, you know, you could get an iPhone. 😂😂😂

In-reply-to » @zvava I never used any of the social media platforms, that's why I'm probably ignorant.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org a content warning is a way to tell the audience the content they are about to see is (or might be) shocking, or unsuitable, or unlikable. The audience can then chose to see it, or not. You know, akin of movies stating:

“Warning: The following film contains scenes that some viewers may find disturbing. Viewer discretion is advised.”

In-reply-to » Dear dev.alessandrocutolo.it, do you really need to fetch my twtxt feed every 20-30 seconds? 😅 Not that it’s posing a problem, but I feel like this could be optimized. For example, how about using the if-modified-since request header: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Reference/Headers/If-Modified-Since

They don’t want to miss anything you might write. And got to know it instantly! 😅

In-reply-to » Three weather services with three different forecasts. We got a little bit rained on, so at least some of them were not completely wrong. The timing was off by an hour, though. And nobody expected the Spanish inqui^W^Wthunder either. It was a nice walk.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org oi, at least you still have weather services. We are soon to find ourselves looking at birds, ants, etc., to get a grasp. 😅

On a weather related topic, we get rains almost each day, mid-afternoon/late-afternoon. That’s great, because I love rain, but I also need to mow the wilderness in the back of the house, and the front lawn. So, yeah, kind of a conundrum.

In-reply-to » replies and following implemented! next step is further parsing of post contents, rendering threads, and then maybe i can finally start adding remote feeds...! though i kinda wanna redo the whole ui ^^'

@zvava@twtxt.net may I recommend to change the mention format upon hitting reply to something similar to what it’s used in Yarn, and perhaps hiding the hash on the post too? Looking good!

In-reply-to » @bender Oh, there’s an easy explanation. But maybe some mysteries are best left unexplained. 😃 If you want to solve this riddle: The solution is in the phlog! Somewhere! 😅

Hmm: gopher://uninformativ.de/0/phlog/2025/2025-08/2025-08-18--permacomputing.txt

That’s fairly recent, but fully justified. I give up! :-D

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I noticed that:

gopher://uninformativ.de/0/phlog/2018/2018-06/2018-06-01.txt

Is the first non-justified, and it is when you started using Markdown. The last justified one was:

gopher://uninformativ.de/0/phlog/2018/2018-05/2018-05-27.txt

So, I might have found the mystery! :-D

In-reply-to » @bender Yeah, the acronym is funny. 😅

Haha, fun! I browsed your gopher hole a little bit. I noticed some entries are fully justified (formatting), while others are not. I didn’t notice a pattern, though it makes sense not to use justification on entries with code. Yet, some prose entries are, and some are not. A mystery. :-)

Enjoy! This is a longer weekend for us too (Labor Day), and even longer for me, as I have asked for Tuesday off. Yayyyyy! I will not be drinking (I voluntarily stopped drinking anything with alcohol in it), but I will try to get a few things done, and then relax.

In-reply-to » @prologic @moveq I think it's mostly the serious lack of competition. All the Android phone manufacturers just use the Google version of Android, bundle in piles of Google bloatware and do whatever Google tells them to. If some of them installed Lineage, or any other versions, with their own stores and rules, or even just offer a less Googly version of their phones, as an option, for more experienced users, Google wouldn't be able, to push everyone around.

@thecanine@twtxt.net I think Google’s Android is as vanilla as it can be, coming from the “source”. The bloatware is more often than not vendor’s provided, no? I don’t consider Google apps and services bloatware, but an intrinsic part of the Android “vanilla” experience.

In-reply-to » To combat malware and financial scams, Google announced today that only apps from developers that have undergone verification can be installed on certified Android devices starting in 2026.

@prologic@twtxt.net, the very first sentence addresses something that needed to be addressed. Maybe tech savvy people will not have these issues, but many non-tech savvy people (and old people) I know has had, and has, cyclically, a myriad of malware, pestware, etc., issues on their Android based phones. It is a wild-west.
