@bender@twtxt.net thanks, i’ll keep this in mind!

For today’s (belated) #caturday, here’s a recent pic of our chunky-buddy Bowie in his house at the bottom of the cat tree in the kitchen.

Enjoy!

@bender@twtxt.net Nice! It’s been a while since I’ve watched an old samurai movie. I should throw some up on my jellyfin.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I can’t take credit for that word, that was a @bender@twtxt.net original. However, I did hashtag it on Masto in hopes of possibly inspiring someone to learn about what truly decentralized social media looks like (and maybe even come join us). 😊

@movq@www.uninformativ.de we found a bug. @prologic@twtxt.net loves it!

@bender@twtxt.net “Twt could not be found” 😢

@bender@twtxt.net I, too, should take a nap now.

@bender@twtxt.net For fork’s sake!

@david@raw.githubusercontent.com your fork worked, and this is a fork, of your fork. Let’s fork’em!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de @bender@twtxt.net Indeed! No idea why this isn’t the default in the first place.

@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com Twtxthashgeddon, hahahaha, brilliant. :-D

@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com Haha! I’m glad you like it! 🤣 I ummed and arrred over the set of publishing backends it should support, and in the end decided to support Yarn, Github/Gitea and twtd. I hope that’s enough and flexible enough for most folks 🤞

What a week!

It looks like I mostly missed the #twtxthashgeddon (so happy belated twtxthashgeddon day, to those who celebrate), although I’m glad that twtxt-lib appears to have come through it more-or-less unscathed.

Also, today is (was) July 4th, so happy US Independence Day (to those that celebrate). I didn’t feel much like celebrating, myself, so instead I went and played Magic (results tomorrow).

Finally, today is (now) July 5th, so happy X-Day (to those that celebrate). I can’t help but feel like this would be a great time for the saucers to come…. Just sayin’. 👽

BTW - welcome to twtxt @GabesArcade@gabesarcade.com!

@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com Ahh you’re welcome bud! 👌

@prologic@twtxt.net Twtxt App looks great and is dead-simple to use. You’re on fire! 😅

@prologic@twtxt.net Excellent, thank you for this!

Adding support for forking, forked conversations and navigating back to the root of a thread for the Twtxt App 🤞

@GabesArcade@gabesarcade.com You’re welcome! ☺️

Oh if we’re talking about the twtxt.app client, that’s a different story. I still consider that alpha/beta quality. Lemme look into that. It has it’s own cache of course (using IndexDB) and it’s entirely possible some behaviours are still not quite right yet…

I see the same thing, @prologic@twtxt.net. They will eventually disappear.

@GabesArcade@gabesarcade.com Wiath what client? 🤔

@bender@twtxt.net I don’t see it 😅

@GabesArcade@gabesarcade.com Yes, because if you edit/delete a Twt after the ecosystem has ingested it, well there then are two versions 😅 Just be aware of edits/deletes, especially if someone has already replied to said Twt 🤣

@GabesArcade@gabesarcade.com Did you by change edit or otherwise delete the Twt you replied to (2nd last in your feed) with the reply/thread id lleeypvkzbw2? That Twt was never ingested by twtxt.net (and likely the search engine) so umm hmmm threading breaks 🤣

@javivf@adn.org.es Very cool! 😎

@javivf@adn.org.es Heh! 😏 I don’t get it haha, but I just saw your post about supporting the v2 Hash ext, nice! 👍

@prologic@twtxt.net not really a new feed :)

@GabesArcade@gabesarcade.com LOL All god! I just announced it just now 🤣

Twtxtory v0.0.3 supports Twt Hash v2 Extension 🍾

@javivf@adn.org.es Not really what? 🤔

Hello everyone ! 👋 Behold I bring you (after many years) the launch of the Twtxt App 😅 – Ye, this is a Desktop and Mobile app built as a Progressive Web App (PWA) using a little framework (Swag) I put together iafter some experiments @xuu@txt.sour.is and I did in Go and HTMX and Service Workers.

The App is offline-first and supports installing to Desktop and Mobile (add to Home screen) and supports a number of publishing backends, including Yarn.social’s yarnd Pod, Github, Codeberg/Gitea, and a little tiny twtd Twtxt server (See: https://git.mills.io/yarnsocial/twtd).

Please try it out, no need for any account(s) or such, works with your existing feed(s) (as long as the publishing backends work well enough for you!). Please give me feedback! 🙏

Also, did you know the Twtxt Search Engine is back? 🎉

@GabesArcade@gabesarcade.com You mean the one I haven’t quite announced yet? https://twtxt.app ? 🤣

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Good! 👍

That’s pretty neat, wish more would adopt that approach, because more often than not one is left stumped on which one is the selected one. As @movq@www.uninformativ.de wrote, those brackets are a lifesaver.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Oh, yes. The brackets help a great deal.

After updating to tview 0.42.0, I also sadly noticed, that the tview.Modal now clears the background and doesn’t simply draw over the already present widget. So, I decided to write my own Dialog widget. This endeavor lead me down the path to actually bring back a custom Button implementation, too. When the button is focused, it surrounds the button text with [ and ]. When not in focus, the brackets are removed. Much better than before (https://twtxt.net/conv/qx3vz4a):

I also use the same buttons in the compose view, too.

@GabesArcade@gabesarcade.com I’m obviously Aussie, but happy 4th July to you too! 🎉

@GabesArcade@gabesarcade.com LOL You can Email me, hit me up on Signal, orc IRC. Take ya pick I’m around 😅

@prologic@twtxt.net 😂 Noob question, do we just do this out in the open? I can also send you an aliased email to take the conversation private.

@fastidious@tilde.town Done and done ✅ Should get an “Upgrade” banner and button soon™

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Found it and fixed it! 🎉 The crawler’s discovery spider was fetching every feed a second time, without any conditional headers (plus a couple of other politeness bugs: redirected feed URLs never stored their cache validators, and there was no floor between re-fetches). Now every feed is fetched at most once per crawl, always with If-Modified-Since / If-None-Match, and never more than once per 15m no matter what. Just deployed — please keep an eye on your access logs and let me know if you still see anything impolite from the crawler 🙏

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I believe this is fixed now 🤞

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Thanks! I’ll look into that! Could be a bug in the crawler.

@bender@twtxt.net Thanks, mate!

On the back of the bench, the badge says: “Gestiftet Verein berg hohenstaufen Göppingen 2013”. I read that as the Mt. Hohenstaufen club donated the bench itself: https://lyse.isobeef.org/waldspaziergang-2026-07-03/69.jpg

On the front of the bench, the badge says: “Gestiftet von Hildegard Schuster, Gesellschafterin der Schwarz-Gruppe, Firma Wackler”. The bronze lady was donated by a shareholder of the Schwarz group, specifically the local Wackler trucking and logistics company.

The book itself reads: “Zur Erinnerung an Ralph Kobza” It’s in memory of the sales manager of the art foundry next town that created also this statue. My mate took this photo: https://lyse.isobeef.org/waldspaziergang-2026-07-03/71.jpg

@prologic@twtxt.net That’s cool to hear!

Looking at my access logs, something seems to be off, though:

@balloonfu-sen@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Appreicate it 👍

@prologic@twtxt.net I think it’s probably the https://girlonthemoon.xyz/ publisher, I contacted Mastodon and email and contacted them. Since that Mastodon was also Kat , it must be the right contact.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de It sure feels like the focus is heavily shifted to the average Joe and the power users are left standing.
