I was amazed experimenting with different combinations, for instance instead of 100, using 60 for a minute, 90 for 1:30, and stupid stuff like heating with 11, 22, 55 seconds and so, to make it quicker to type any time.

twtxt, the microblogging for hackers and friends...> The biggest challenge of ActivityPub is that it's too technical to easily explain to regular people. Nobody is interested in a jargon-laden diatribe about servers and federation. When simple questions have overly complex answers, people tend to switch off.

For example here: gemini://text.eapl.mx/en-making-a-tic-tac-toe-variant and there https://text.eapl.mx/en-making-a-tic-tac-toe-variant
I agree that some topics require images to make it easier to explain.
You can type 3 and 0 for 30 seconds, 100 for a minute (shown as 1:00), or 200 for two minutes (2:00).
What would happen if you type 777 and Start?
A) Nothing
B) Self-destruction
C) Will run for 7 minutes and 77 seconds (boring!)
What about 7777 ?
Is it more an API (more oriented to developers), more oriented to UI/UX/Frontend? Perhaps both?
I'd go with prologic's advice of measuring and prioritizing. Perhaps you have a budget or at least something like "let's see how far can we reach in 6 months", and possibly you won't finish in the time you have (just guessing).
Something that has helped me was defining "Why do you we want to refactor this project?".
Could it be to make it compile on newer versions, or making it easier to grow and scale, or perhaps they are trying to sell that product to another company. Every reason has a different path, IMO.
Well, I've heard you have plenty of experience with Unit Testing and TDD. Perhaps designing a few tests before refactoring?
I've heard of Snapshot testing, but have never tried it: https://github.com/spatie/phpunit-snapshot-assertions
Also, what kind of refactor are you trying to do?
Perhaps, since Twitter in 2006 never implemented read flags, every derivative microblogging system never saw that as an expected feature. This is curious because Twitter started with SMS, where on our phones we can mark messages as read or unread.
I think it all comes from the difference between reading an email (directed to you) vs. reading public posts (like a blog or a 'wall,' where you don't mark posts as read). It's not necessary to mark it as 'read', you just jump over it.
Reading microblogging posts in an email program is not common, I think, and I haven't really used it, so I cannot say how it works, and whether it would be better for me or not.
However, I've used Thunderbird as a feed reader, and I understand the advantages when reading blog posts.
About read flags being simple, well... we just had a discussion this morning about how tracking read messages would require a lot of rethinking for clients such as
timeline where no state is stored. Even considering some kind of 'notification of unread messages or mentions' is not expected for those minimalist client, so it's an interesting compromise to think about.

Anyone could check, "are there any messages for my address?" and you get a whole list of timestamps and encrypted stuff.
Inside the encrypted message is a signature from the sender. That way you 'could' block spam.
Only the owner of the private key could see who sent what, and so...
And even with that my concussion was that users expectations for a private IM might be far away from my experiment.
[0]). A syntax like the following could help to know what public key you used to encrypt the message, and which private key the client should use to decrypt it:
!<nick url> <encrypted_message> <public_key_hash_7_chars>
Also I'd remove support for storing the message as hex, only allowing base64 (more compact, aiming for a minimalistic spec, etc.)

I'd rather prefer to get it from the mentioned .txt nick metadata (could be cached for performance).
So my vote would to make it mandatory to follow
@<name url> but only using that name/nick if the URL doesn't contain another nick.A main advantage is that when the destination URL changes the nick, it'll be automagically updated in the thread view (as happens with some other microblogging platforms, following the Jakob's Law)

@nick@domain.tls I think Webfinger is the way to go. It has enough information to know where to find that nick's URL.@prologic does that webfinger fork made by darch work OK with yarn as it is now? (I've never used it, so I'm researching about it)

Wife and I agreed on hibernate until January, just visiting relatives but avoiding any kind of shopping. I tried buying something like 2 or 3 days ago and it's insane :o
Good luck! :)
My first thought was creating a subdomain with the name of the podcast
mordiscos.eapl.meThen I watched that the software allows many podcasts in the same domain, so I had to pick a handle:
https://mordiscos.eapl.me/@podcast
So now I have
@podcast@mordiscos.eapl.me when this one is 'more correct' @mordiscos@podcast.eapl.me or it could even be @mordiscos.eapl.meI wasn't aware of all that when I setup Castopod (documentation might improve a lot, IMO)
My point here is that it's something important to think from the start, otherwise is painful to change if it's already being used like that.
I agree on displaying a short
@nick.We could hover on the nick to see the full detail which could be
@nick@domain.tls or the full URLAlso it could be a display option in Preferences in case your account starts showing many collisions.
The disambiguation for collisions is the .txt URL and the nick inside it, right ?
@nick@nick (Masto/Yarn style)
vs
nick.eapl.me and eapl.me (Bsky style)
I see, for example, that
yarn shows my account as eapl.me@eapl.me which looks 'weird' although it's not wrong since my domain and my nick are the same. Honestly I like more the Bsky approach as in https://bsky.app/profile/eapl.me for eapl.me, as when you look for https://eapl.me, it's my home page.Also, I didn't get it completely if you are also proposing a URL standard using subdomains, like https://nick.domain.tls. I only want to point out that these are more difficult to handle from shared hostings, so I'd prefer to also allow https://domain.tls/nick/
For example reading here: https://bsky.social/about/blog/4-28-2023-domain-handle-tutorial
I wasn't considering some scenarios, like multiple accounts for a single domain (See 'How can I set and manage multiple subdomain handles?' in the link above)
Or perhaps you can use DNS TXT records?
Although I think that's a bit more complicated for some environments and users, I'd go with looking for a default

#randomMemory I remember when I was starting to code, like 30 years ago, not understanding why my Basic file didn't run when I renamed it to .exe
And nowadays, I've seen a few Go apps in a single executable, so
twtxt.exe could be a thing, he!
The older one will redirect to the new for a while (I'm not sure what would happen if you follow both URLs, I assume it's better to add the new one and remove the older)
Please update your following list to https://eapl.me/tw.txt !
I'm changing mine to tw.txt -> https://eapl.me/tw.txt
And the older twtxt.txt will be redirecting for a while
.txt and .html, perhaps .twt, he!

As part of my focus on digital minimalism, I aim to only use services that bring joy, value, and spark interesting conversations within the community.

Not exactly on "Complexity", more on UX, although I use this book as a reading material for design courses, on how finally the user receives all that complexity with tragic consecuences:

I don't use my account on twtxt.net although I like the content that is found there.
Yeah, Yarn as a piece of software is really nice, I've said that a few times before.
Although technology is only a piece of the puzzle.
As a community/ecosystem is perhaps too niche. I agree that 'social platforms' don't need to be meaningful, perhaps they don't even need to be useful.
We are sharing time and words here, so that's good by itself.
Nowadays I barely twt from my PHP instance. I got to say that is more "convenient" reading from twtxt.net that on my instance.
My current feeling is that is too niche to find something interesting, being about personal growth, professional or even entertaining. There is not enough people and/or interesting topics to be engaged on. The network effect of people making content is missing IMO. Although I have a similar feeling of any other microblogging, it's too superficial to have a meaningful conversation.
Sadly in this ecosystem I've found no one twting on Spanish, and having conversations in English is not so easy to me.
And about local communities, I tried to invite friends and colleagues, but no one created their instance or joined to Yarn. Even the local Mastodon instance has 3 members (myself included), so I think creating a hipster microblogging is not as easy as looked at the start.
It's again a decision between the involved time and the 'reward' at the end. If we are not getting good emotions or something bigger that ourselves, feels like 'not worthy' to belong.
That's all the twt
Sadly my old Android 9 is not compatible with the mobile app, although I use the web for that case.
That said, that's what I've been using for years and I can't find a reason to try another (as usually happens with these tools)

I payed for Spotify Premium for many years, but since 2020 I think it lost its value for me, so I switched to YT, or a local company is offering Deezer free for a year.
I've been playing with the idea of storing most of my music in SD cards or internal memory from an old android.
Currently in my car I listen to music in a SD card with 'everything' I've been getting in the last 10+ years. I'm lazy to switch on the Bluetooth on my phone.
At home, I have a few different speakers, with line input and bluetooth. My wife has an Alexa near the dining room, so we often listen to music or the radio there.
Also, very often I play Youtube playlists on the TV (I'm looking for some way to listen to Youtube on a speaker, but haven't found any. Or with the phone with Revanced (which stopped working last week)
Since I have diverse players I try to stick to MP3 VBR, although I try to download or convert tracks to 'more recent' formats. Weirdly my car allows WMA, and more weirdly I have some tracks which came to that SD card mysteriously.
I haven't found FLAC interesting as when I was in college, I can't notice a difference between lossy and loseless formats. Perhaps my environment is too noisy or I'm getting older 😅
That said, I'd really want to isolate my home-office, I have too much reverb when recording, and also external noise, which sometimes affect when listening to music.
