@david@daiwei.me I agree, the App (https://twtxt.app) really does work quite nicely 👌

@david@daiwei.me that was literally one of the messages I got this morning with an invite request to join this pod 😱

Hell yeah, @kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz is back! \o/

@yarn_police@twtxt.net LOL 😂

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Quite effective then eh? 🤣

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Welcome back!!!! 🎉 Did you upgrade your yarnd? 🤔

@david@daiwei.me Yeah the search engine/crawler has only found 28 active users in the ecosystem so far 😅

@prologic@twtxt.net this is so epic!!!

anyway thank you to @prologic@twtxt.net for the email heads up to upgrade this pod! we SHOULD be on the latest version, if i did it right…

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz omg i haven’t been here in FOREVER i’m sorry yarn friends!!! i’ve had a lot going on including being extremely depressed :(

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz REAL SHIT?

@david@daiwei.me Not so keen on the mowing part. :-)

@prologic@twtxt.net That’s a good way to keep spammers out:

Your browser did not pass the anti-spam check! Please make sure JavaScript is enabled and try again.

It was turned on.

@david@daiwei.me Haha, great response!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Hottest room is still at 24°C. But that will change in this week, no doubt. :-(

@david@daiwei.me It’s all fixed now, for good 😌

@david@daiwei.me This is another dangling thread:

Trying to fetch "#kyjhiwcxeknm" from Yarn pod https://txt.sour.is ...
Trying to fetch "#kyjhiwcxeknm" from Yarn pod https://twtxt.net ...
Twt could not be found

@balloon-fu-sen@tw.fus.f5.si You don’t really need to! The crawler will discover your feed on it’s own 😅

🎉 This pod, twtxt.net is now open to the general public again to join. However it is invite-only with admin review and approval/rejection. Welcome ! 🙏

Shipped a bunch of Twtxt App fixes & polish today 🥳 One-tap Refresh that actually refreshes, duplicate follows fixed, Reply/Fork buttons (with proper @-mentions), unread dots, Back keeps your spot, and it’ll now guide you to install it as a proper app 📱 Reload https://twtxt.app and have a play! Thanks @quark@ferengi.one and @balloon-fu-sen@tw.fus.f5.si for all the reports 🙏

@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com Ill weirw it up and share it shortly 👌

Since I keep missing #Caturday, I figured I’d change it up today with pics of our pibble, The Princess Peaches, framed by the light of the window.

@prologic@twtxt.net TBH, I was just going to try and reverse engineer it from the Go source files, but any other docs you can provide would be helpful, for sure! 🙏

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org That explains a lot! Thank you.

@david@daiwei.me The one with www is correct: https://www.uninformativ.de/twtxt.txt is the canonical URL used in the url = metadata field. (For historical reasons, it also works without www and even with http.)

@david@daiwei.me I don’t want to start the discussion again, but edits wouldn’t be an issue if we had agreed on a better addressing scheme. Maybe edit more as a quiet riot. :-P

@david@daiwei.me Oh boy, that looks super yummy! :-) I want to have rain here, too!

@david@daiwei.me Ah, edits. Okay. Let’s hope that it’s all fixed then. 🤞

@david@daiwei.me Exactly. Spaces are fixed, tabs always break the layout when the tab sizes are different.

@david@daiwei.me Hahaahaaahaaaahaaaaa, so good! :‘-D

Nice product, I should probably buy it:

@balloon-fu-sen@tw.fus.f5.si Fixed! 🥳 The Avatar URL field now actually gets written to your feed’s # avatar = metadata. Turned out it needed changes in both the app and twtd itself — so you’ll want to update your twtd instance once the new build lands. Thanks for the report! 🙏

@balloon-fu-sen@tw.fus.f5.si Ahhh! That’s a bug! Lemme fix that!

@balloon-fu-sen@tw.fus.f5.si No Avatar? 🧐

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org True. Although I _think) this isn’t a problem and this thread is m00t 😅

@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com I would have zero problems with that! If there’s enough demand, I’ll write up the APi spec for it? 🤔

@prologic@twtxt.net For what it’s worth, the twt hash extension is specifically modeled after yarnd’s implementation with all the quirks coming from Go’s stdlib: https://twtxt.dev/exts/twt-hash.html#timestamp-format

“All timezones representing UTC must be formatted using the designated Zulu indicator Z rather than the numeric offsets +00:00 or -00:00. If the timestamp does not explicitly include any timezone information, it must be assumed to be in UTC.”

@prologic@twtxt.net 🤩

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com @david@daiwei.me @prologic@twtxt.net It looks like tab stops to me, every 8 characters, and the tab character jumps to the next stop (hence different tab widths based on where the tab occurs in relation to the next tab stop).

@prologic@twtxt.net I really like how these two apps pair-up. Seeing as I’m still tweaking TwtKpr, I’m considering adding support for the same APIs as twtd (so maybe it can be used as another backend for Twtxt.App). 🤔

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com @david@daiwei.me @prologic@twtxt.net It depends on the tab size, but often, a tab aligns the following character to next column that is a multiple of eight.

1      8       |16     |24     |32

Say hello to the Twtxt Social Graph 😅 #Twtxt #social #Graph

@prologic@twtxt.net @bender@twtxt.net is it normal that twtxtapp’s <tab> (white space) between the timestamps and posts look a bit shorter than the ones from jenny? just noticed that and thought maybe it’s someting you’d want to know.

The Rectangle highlights the whitespaces from Jenny and the Ellipse is over the ones from twtxtapp.

@prologic@twtxt.net Le Me! both twtd and twtxt.app 👌

🥳 Finally! After nearly 4 years, yarnd v0.16.0 “Silver Sojourner” is out! 🚀 Twt Hash v2, SQLite FTS5 search, HTMX-powered UI, first-time setup wizard and literally hundreds of bug fixes 🐛

Release notes: https://git.mills.io/yarnsocial/yarn/releases/tag/0.16.0

Upgrading is fully automatic — the Twt Hash v2 migration re-fetches all feeds on first start, so expect the first cycle to be a bit heavier. Images on Docker Hub as prologic/yarnd:0.16.0 👌

@balloonfu-sen@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz I could in toehry publish a specification for what twtd implements, which forms the basis of the API between twtxt.app <-> twtd, if you wanted to write your own twtd / twtxt.app compatible publishing backend (assuming you didn’t want to use Github/Gitea, etc).

Yeah to @david@daiwei.me’s point re Editing. It’s only really safe to do so if you are sure that no-one has yet fetched your feed or replied to your Twt. But even then, you have to be quick 🤣 Editing/fixing a Twt inside of an existing thread is “oaky”, as long as it also doesn’t get forked and becomes the root of a new conversation 😅

@balloonfu-sen@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Thank you for doing this 🙏 – Just a thought… It might be possible for this to be fully automated from the Twtxt Search engine / crawler? Right? 🤔 It has all of the data… I also think it might be possible to distinguish between 1-way feedsa and “real folks” (ya know, 2-ways feeds) 🤣

@balloonfu-sen@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Such tilde(s), etc, could in theory just run a twtd instance per user, or if I was convinced enough to make twtd also multi-user capable (optionally) that would also work. But many ~tilde(s) barely implement the Twtxt specs we continue to build and improve (albiet slowly and carefully).
