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 @movq @eapl.me @bender @aelaraji @arne @david @lyse @doesnm @xuu @sorenpeter 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. #twtxt #emacs #twtxt-el #texudus

@prologic I think it is mature enough now: https://isah-twtxt.andros.dev If anyone is interested in transforming an RSS feed to twtxt using n8n, send me a DM 😜

I open a discussion thread: why didn't the registers work? Will they work later? #twtxt

This code displays the last 10 lines of a twtxt feed without a full dowload.

FEED_URL="https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt"
MAX_RANGE=$(curl -sI $FEED_URL | grep -i 'content-length' | awk '{print $2}' | tr -d '\r')
MIN_RANGE=$((MAX_RANGE - 5000))

curl -s --range "$MIN_RANGE-$MAX_RANGE" "$FEED_URL" | grep -v -e '^#' -e '^$' | head -n 10

My self-response!

We should look at this thread https://github.com/snarfed/bridgy-fed/issues/1873 #twtxt

Thank you @python_valencia for letting me show you the secrets of a decentralised plain text social network like twtxt. I hope you enjoyed the talk! ❤️🐍 #python #twtxt

I want to present the twtxt feed from Python Valencia: https://twtxt.python-valencia.es/ Technical curiosity: It is generated using n8n, using the official rss. #welcome

I am working on this: https://dm-echo.andros.dev/ More news coming soon. #twtxt

In a couple of days I'll be giving a talk about #twtxt https://www.meetup.com/es-ES/python-valencia-meetup/events/306769708/

What is twtxt for me? It is a community of users sharing plain text following a specification that can be readable by both humans and machines.

For some it is a microblogging platform, for others it is a social network, others see it as an enhanced RSS feed and a few consider it a hacker's toy. I use it as a learning platform. And as collateral damage, I'm meeting some very interesting people.

And for you?

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

• New feature: Notifications.
• Updated: Improved user interface for new posts.
• Updated: Documentation.
• Updated: Some UI elements and included information about shortcuts in each buffer.
• Minor fixes. Source code: https://codeberg.org/deadblackclover/twtxt-el In the next version: You will be able to send direct messages. Enjoy! #emacs #twtxt #twtxtel

I'm sharing a short tutorial, in Spanish, for self-hosting #twtxt with Docker: https://programadorwebvalencia.com/twtxt-desplegar-tu-feed-con-docker/

What does the #twtxt community think about having a p2p database to store all history? This will be managed by Registries.

You can find the #twtxt-el channel in Libera IRC to talk about the twtxt.el client, I will keep my connection open so you can ask me questions. Thank you!

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

• New feature: View and interact with threads.
• Optimisation of ordering for long feeds.
• Minor fixes.

In the next version you will be able to see all your mentions.

Enjoy!

#emacs #twtxt #twtxtel

@eapl.me There are several points that I like, but I want to highlight number 7. https://text.eapl.mx/a-few-ideas-for-a-next-twtxt-version #twtxt

I show you the website of Baldo, my little black cat (the pocket panther). Website: https://baldo.cat/ Twtxt: https://baldo.cat/twtxt.txt #catsoftwtxt

Question to the twtxt veterans, are we experiencing an explosion of clients or is this a regular occurrence?

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. #emacs #twtxt #twtxtel

@prologic Looks great with the new logo. @aelaraji Next release will convert markdown to org syntax if you have Pandoc command installed 😎. Mentions are org links, for example.

@arne @eapl_en I'm sorry if I don't respond to a reply. I don't have a notification system for mentions at the moment. The work is manual!

@aelaraji 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.

I really like the concept of "twt". It's the perfect blend of txt and twtxt. An abbreviated form. Even though it's the name given to posts, I personally find it very nice. #twtxt

Today is an important day. We have a new extension: Direct message 🪇🗨️🚀🥳❤️ https://twtxt.dev/exts/direct-message.html #twtxt

What would you like the new twtxt logo to be? Comments: https://git.mills.io/yarnsocial/twtxt.dev/issues/9#issuecomment-18960

Yesterday I was doing a lot of research on how #hyperdrive and the #holepunch project work. Would it be possible to use it to make #twtxt an easier gateway for new users? Could we stop using web servers? My conclusion: We would end up being a #nostr. On the one hand it would become more complex to use, it would force the user to have software installed, and on the other hand the community would need a central proxy to make the routes accessible via HTTP. In other words, it's not a good idea. However, it's an AMAZING technology. I want to start playing with it.

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

I'm realizing that my performance bottleneck is @prologic ! It is actually calculating the hash to make the replicas, and specifically users with very long feeds 😂 . I'm seriously thinking about enabling replies via configuration.

I have infinite scroll now! I can finally focus on replies and mentions 😋 #twtxtel #twtxt #emacs

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! 🚀 https://codeberg.org/andros/twtxt-el/src/branch/develop #twtxtel #emacs

I would like to make another proposal to the community, to discuss it calmly: https://git.mills.io/yarnsocial/twtxt.dev/issues/9 #twtxt

I want to share a little idea for a new extension with the goal of adding direct messages in #twtxt https://github.com/tanrax/twtxt-direct-message-extension

Hola desde Hispa Emacs!! @cats

@prologic Is it possible to make Pull Request on twtxt.dev ?

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. #emacs #twtxt

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. #emacs #twtxt

@prologic Is it possible to interact with twtxt.net from outside? For example, an search API

@bender Sorry if I don't reply to you. I don't have any mention notification system... at the moment... Thanks for the suggestion and for fix the error 😄

@prologic Do you have any data about the #twtxt health? How many people are currently using twtxt?

How can I add feeds to https://feeds.twtxt.net/feeds ? It this possible?

My cat, @terron has his own twtxt account. Would you follow him? #catsoftwtxt

Thanks @prologic !

Is there any rule or information about images in the twtxt specification?

Thanks @bender 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.

I would like to share my lastest article about #twtxt on my blog: https://programadorwebvalencia.com/twtxt-la-red-social-en-texto-plano-descentralizada-y-minimalista/ . Attention! It is a Spanish
