@movq@www.uninformativ.de Awwwwww! Thank you, that is now in my collection. :-) The other ones aren’t bad either, very nice!
@thecanine@twtxt.net My apologies, mate! :-( As @david@collantes.us pointed out, this was definitely not my intent at all.
For the easter egg hunt, I first looked for a hidden image map link on the pixel dog in the right lower corner itself. Maybe one giant pixel just links to somewhere else, I figured. But I couldn’t find any and then quickly moved on. Hence, I naturally viewed the HTML source. Because where else would be a good hiding place for easter eggs, right?
Next, I noticed the <font> tags. I thought I had read quite some time ago that they are not an HTML5 thing, but wasn’t entirely sure about it. So, I asked the W3C HTML validator. Sure enough. I thought I let you know about the violations. If somebody had found a mistake on my site, I’d love to hear about it, so I could fix it. I’m sorry that my chosen form of report didn’t resonate with you all that well. I reckoned you’ll also find it a bit funny, but I was clearly very wrong on that.
I actually followed the dog cow link to the video, so I ended up on the easter egg. However, I didn’t recognize it as such. ¯_(ツ)_/¯ Oh well.
Regarding my message about the browser quirks: I read your answer that you were arguing against the HTML validator findings. Of course, everybody can do with their sites whatever they likes.

@xuu@txt.sour.is Nice one! 👍
Markdown and the Slow Fade of the Formatting Fetish - a nice article about Markdown VS proprietary formatting. With quotes like “Microsoft Office works in an office where you pretend to work until you can finally go home.” 😄
@xuu@txt.sour.is hmmm, maybe I deleted myself.
i can see your twts here: https://watcher.sour.is/?uri=https://eapl.me/tw.txt
@david@collantes.us.. i see this one but it says its dead. https://watcher.sour.is/?uri=https://ferengi.one/twtxt.txt
yep, it looks nice! How could add my URL?
Is it following the same endpoints than https://registry.twtxt.org/swagger-ui/#/users/addUser ?
BTW, I think that the usage section has a wrong base URL or something.
For example if you enter here: https://watcher.sour.is/conv/4rx5iyq
It says to look for this URL: https://watcher.sour.is/conv/4rx5iyq/api/plain/users
Which seems to return the content from https://watcher.sour.is
@thecanine@twtxt.net I came by to see it. I liked it! I think it all matches quite well the pixel style you are well-known for.
@xuu@txt.sour.is that’s mighty cool! Add me to it? Add @quark@ferengi.one too! How often does it run?
Hi, So i made a little MVP registry crawler tool for twtxt. It now has a basic UI to play with. It has a somewhat full history back to about 2018-ish. Plus some interesting bits that were timestamped to earlier.
Find it here: https://watcher.sour.is
Code base is found here: https://git.sour.is/sour-is/xt
@thecanine@twtxt.net for what is worth, I don’t think @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org intention was to insinuate your website sucked (though it may well do, but again, not his intent, I am sure). I see it more like a technical jest, and a good one at it. It was fun! Isn’t that the intent of April Fools’, after all?
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org The bird in the wallpaper? That’s a photo from a trip to a local zoo. 😃 This little guy was sitting in one of the bushes and didn’t mind people getting rather close. Full version and more from that day.
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I do agree “the rules of the web”, are far too loose - at least the syntax ones. I do think backwards compatibility is necessary.
As for my website, it might be visually very similar, to how it looked since its creation, many years ago, but it is frequently improved. Features that originally used JavaScript, changed to HTML and CSS components, code simplified, optimised to withstand browser updates and new screen resolutions,… Even a good chunk of the errors on your list, were already addressed and I plan to address the rest soon.
Just find it a bit depressing, that my attempt to bring back some of the old Internet spirit, by making a hidden easteregg page page for this years April 1st, was met with people complaining about April fools day jokes and you insinuating my website sucks.
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Sorry for being completely offtopic, but that’s a really cute bird! :-)
A hike to the highest mountain in the Odenwald, the Katzenbuckel, lit. cat hillock. It was very windy and the sun very rarely showed its face, so it was quite chilly. Nice scenery, nevertheless. Surprisingly, this ski-jumping hill is still in operation. I’ve never expected this in a hundred years, judging by its state. https://lyse.isobeef.org/katzenbuckel-2025-03-29/
