@david Thanks, that's good feedback to have. I wonder to what extent this already exists in registry servers and yarn pods. I haven't really tried digging into the past in either one.

How interested would you be in changes in metadata and other comments in the feeds? I'm thinking of just permanently saving every version of each twtxt file that gets pulled, not just the twts. It wouldn't be hard to do (though presenting the information in a sensible way is another matter). Compression should make storage a non-issue unless someone does something weird with their feed like shuffle the comments around every time I fetch it.

@falsifian Something similar exists over at https://search.twtxt.net/. But a usable search engine would be actually nice (to be fair, yarns improved a bit). :-) I don't care about feed changes over time. In fact, it would even feel creepy to me. Of course, anyone could still surveil, but I'm not looking forward to these stats.

@lyse @falsifian Contributions to search.twtxt.net, which runs yarns (_not to be confused with yarnd_) are always welcome 🤗 -- I don't have as much "spare time" as I used to due to the nature of my job (_Staff Engineer_); but I try to make improvements every now and again 💪
