Twtxt was made for nerds, by nerds.
I'd like to change that. It's by nerds/hackers, for nerds/hackers and friends of these. It doesn't have to be hacky all the time, as you don't need to be a nerd to have a blog.
But, for that to happen, someone has to build the tools to improve UX.

thanks for sharing @xuu@txt.sour.is!
Checking for example https://watcher.sour.is/api/plain/twt or https://registry.twtxt.org/api/plain/tweets, I don’t know whether this syntax is being used by clients or by people. Is it integrated on Yarn in any way? Genuinely asking to know more about it.
If I might throw a quick thought to those working on the registries, it would be nice to have an endpoint with a valid twtxt output (perhaps cached or dumped to a static file) which a client could point to, helping to discover it’s content in a way which is compatible with the twtxt spec.
Taking the first twt I found in https://watcher.sour.is/api/plain/twt as an example:
reddit_world_news https://feeds.twtxt.net/Reddit_World_News/twtxt.txt 2025-03-28T00:29:25Z **China bans US logs. 3 billion dollar[...])
it would be something like
TIME <@NICK URL> TWT
2025-03-28T00:29:25Z <@reddit_world_news https://feeds.twtxt.net/Reddit_World_News/twtxt.txt> **China bans US logs. 3 billion dollar[...])
That way you could watch the latest twts with your client, something similar to what we find on Mastodon: https://mastodon.online/public/local
Some support from the clients to separate these ‘discovery’ content, from your following timeline might be required. 🤔

thanks @prologic!
@bender the idea of the RFC was to reach an agreement on a difficult problem, receiving proposals, and the voting is a simple count to gauge the sentiment of "is this a problem worth to be fixed?, are we committed to implement a change in our clients?"

sorry @prologic@twtxt.net, timeline doesn’t autocomplete the mentions yet, and it was ‘difficult’ to look for your URL from the phone.

@eapl.me@eapl.me I am currently working on Implementing a registry that is also a crawler. It finds any feeds that are mentioned or in the follows header.

https://watcher.sour.is/api/plain/users
I think @prologic@twtxt.net is also working on one.

somehow I forgot that existed.
Perhaps it was its mention of being a demo implementation here:
https://twtxt.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user/registry.html#registry
So I though it wasn’t really active.
Anyway, I think that’s a good idea.
Is there something similar available on Yarn? Sorry for for asking if that was mentioned recently.
I think that the clients may help you to submit your URL to these directories, and also to get a view of the twts in them.

I’m a long-term mpd user (some 16+ years), but for $reasons I have to compile it myself now – and, boy, that is one heavy program. Takes several minutes to build. 😳
