I’ve just released version 1.0 of twtxt.el (the Emacs client), the stable and final version with the current extensions. I’ll let the community maintain it, if there are interested in using it. I will also be open to fix small bugs.
I don’t know if this twt is a goodbye or a see you later. Maybe I will never come back, or maybe I will post a new twt this afternoon. But it’s always important to be grateful. Thanks to @prologic@twtxt.net @movq@www.uninformativ.de @eapl.me@eapl.me @bender@twtxt.net @aelaraji@aelaraji.com @arne@uplegger.eu @david@collantes.us @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org @doesnm@doesnm.p.psf.lt @xuu@txt.sour.is @sorenpeter@darch.dk for everything you have taught me. I’ve learned a lot about #twtxt, HTTP and working in community. It has been a fantastic adventure!
What will become of me? I have created a twtxt fork called Texudus (https://texudus.readthedocs.io/). I want to continue learning on my own without the legacy limitations or technologies that implement twtxt. It’s not a replacement for any technology, it’s just my own little lab. I have also made a fork of my own client and will be focusing on it for a while. I don’t expect anyone to use it, but feedback is always welcome.
Best regards to everyone.

@bender@twtxt.net I use it. It’s not the feature I use the most in the fediverse, but I communicate this way with several friends. For example, it’s the main way I talk to the original creator of the twtxt-el repository, the way people greet me for the first time or the way they notify me of some bugs in the software I maintain. I can even tell you that it’s the main way I talk to some maintainers of the Emacs community. If there are any of you reading my words, speak up!
Why not have the same? There are things I want to say to @prologic@twtxt.net in private, why should I have to send him an email or private IRC? Or an public twt.
Of course, here’s a topic we’ve already talked about: what is twtxt for you? For me it will always be a social network, in microblogging format, but an asynchronous way of communicating. And having a tool to control visibility is basic 😄
I look forward to hearing from you @eapl.me@eapl.me !

@eaplme@eapl.me you wrote:

“That PHP snippet could be merged into https://twtxt.dev/exts/twt-hash.html”

Why, though? AFAIK @andros@twtxt.andros.dev’s client is on Emacs, @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org’s is on Python (and Golang, for tt2), @movq@www.uninformativ.de’s is on Python, and @prologic@twtxt.net’s is on Golang. All the client creator needs to know is in the documentation already, coding language agnostic.

I have released new updates to the twtxt.el client.

• Markdown to Org mode (you need to install Pandoc).
  
• Centred column.
  
• Added new logo.
  
• Added text helper.
  

The new version I will try to finish the visual thread. You still can’t see the thread yet.

@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.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de @prologic@twtxt.net @bmallred@staystrong.run @andros@twtxt.andros.dev Thank you all! I don’t have emacs installed, so I’ll try lagrange and see. According to my shell history, I must have played around with amfora ages ago.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org on emacs i use elpher

@xuu@txt.sour.is Thank you! A common mistake is to see Emacs as a text editor but it’s a Lisp interpreter with a text editor (among other software), so the limit is your imagination 😋. I’m glad you like it! 🙌

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev lol nice! emacs is wild. text and graphics all inline.

I have uploaded a new version of #twtxtel 🥳. It’s now possible to view profiles, either your own or others. #twtxt #emacs

Thank you! 😄 I’m trying to do it with care, calm and good handwriting, with the little time I have and the limits of Emacs. I really appreciate your words!

I have infinite scroll now! I can finally focus on replies and mentions 😋

Yes! 😀 Emacs Lisp is a member of the Lisp family.

I have managed to make the fetching of feeds asynchronous. To do this I have set up a small system of task queue. All requests are executed at the same time! 🚀

Hola desde Hispa Emacs!! @cats@duque-terron.cat

I’m sharing new developments on the client. I now have a more stable timeline. The first version will appear in the next few weeks.

Video

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev Even though I’m not an Emacs user, that’s really cool! :-)

This is the first screenshot, a simple timeline I’m using to check the fields. Now I’m working on some details: avatar cache, relative dates, simple thread, etc.

I’m still making progress with the Emacs client. I’m proud to say that the code that is responsible for reading the feeds is almost finished, including: Twt Hash Extension, Twt Subject Extension, Multiline Extension and Metadata Extension. I’m fine-tuning some tests and will soon do the first buffer that displays the twts.

@prologic@twtxt.net Hmm, what’s this Emacs client you heard about?

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Unfortunately, there is no feed URL or nick in the User-Agent, it just consists of “xt/0.0.1”, that’s it. And this client was only active from mid-November until the end of the month.

It’ll probably remain a mystery, we’ll never know.

I found 2 active Registries: tilde.instite and twtxt.envs.net . I think that is missing a repository or system for them to find each other. It is easy to share registry users. Your work is awesome! Maybe you are supporting twtxt with the pod and software around them. I am very busy with the Emacs client, but I like to work creating my own version of Registry using Django.

@prologic@twtxt.net there’s @deadblackclover@deadblackclover.net’s twtxt-el already, I couldn’t use it correctly when I’ve had just discovered it (yes, #emacs skill issues) … but it has been updated since then. I should give it another spin 👌

Thanks @bender@twtxt.net for the feedback. I fixed and expanded the article. I’m sorry for my poor interaction. Furthermore, I’m reading and writing while programming a client in Emacs.

@sorenpeter@darch.dk I’ve been using weechat for a while then when I started learning my way around Emacs I switched to Circe … a couple months later I setup ZNC, rolled with it for some time but wasn’t sure if I wanted to stick with it. Now I’m mainly using TheLounge and do find it convenient accessing it from anywhere. but quite honestly, I don’t have a preference.

#fzf is the new emacs: a tool with a simple purpose that has evolved to include an #email client. https://sr.ht/~rakoo/omail/

I’m being a little silly, of course. fzf doesn’t actually check your email, but it appears to be basically the whole user interface for that mail program, with #mblaze wrangling the emails.

I’ve been thinking about how I handle my email, and am tempted to make something similar. (When I originally saw this linked the author was presenting it as an example tweaked to their own needs, encouraging people to make their own.)

This approach could surely also be combined with #jenny, taking the place of (neo)mutt. For example mblaze’s mthread tool presents a threaded discussion with indentation.

I’m still alive ! Here’s a quick, brainless recap dump before I switch back to the other side:

• Been daily driving FreeBSD on the o(ther)ld machine for the last couple of days.
  
• Read through the handbook, played around with jails, pulled on my hair because of network issues (I think I might have maybe fixed that) … etc.
  
• Still procrastinating over migrating my Jenny/Mutt setup out there. until then, I’ll be getting my Twtxt fix reading through conversations over on the twtxt.net ✌
  
• Gave a couple of Nostr based platforms a try, it was … not for me to say the least.
  
• Started learning Emacs (I know, I’m in trouble LOL) and might even start twtin’ from there instead.

@prx@si3t.ch I like this idea but usually I am living in a terminal or Emacs.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Ah, I see. I mean, it is not biggie, as normally I just reply to people, so that part works beautifully. A vi/vim script would work, but it is not universal. What if I use joe, or Emacs, or nano? Meh, jenny is awesome as is, thank you for it! ☺️
