Any idea What's this "twtxtfeevalidator/0.0.1" UA about? I thought I could ask before throwing a 1000GB file at it πͺ€ could it be the same 'xt' thing @lyse was talking about the other day?

I cobbled that together yesterday, @aelaraji. Since I was too lazy to write some tests, I simply hit your feed as I knew it contains two invalid lines right now. Sorry mate! :-( Next thing is to actually write some proper tests, improve the messages, etc.
Here's the code: https://git.mills.io/yarnsocial/validator
Looking forward to that, @prologic. :-)
@lyse Oh! no need to be sorry and feel free to keep at it if it helps, I don't mind. It's just that I'm always on the lookout for corpo-bots and crawlers slipping through the cracks (a fun little game of sorts) π
the only thing I let them see is a robots.txt telling them to :diffoff
Also, I'm curious about the invalid lines in my feed. is it something I should lookout for in future?

hmm... apparently the invalid twts are the latest ones I'd posted from Timeline but highly probably because I'd tried to restore them manually, after _unintentionally_ overriding my twtxt file with one that was out of date π€¦

@aelaraji Ta! It's just the millenia old tabs vs. spaces debate. ;-) Here's a screenshot, that also kinda serves as a preview of the ugly β yet functional β web interface:
Twtxt Feed Validator reporting two errors
@lyse TABs, of course, are best. >:-)
@lyse yep, I gave it a spin locally! I freaking love the cute logo and the UI is fiiiine π my TUI browsers love it just as much ...

@aelaraji Thank you very much, glad you like it. :-) I always try to make web pages use as much semantic tags as possible and keep the HTML very simple, so that they also have a chance to look decent in terminal browsers. The logo took me a few hours to draw in all its three sizes.
OHHH THIS IS EPIC YALL TY i'd love to try this!!!
