So, I created a new FEED called @carsten_de which will hold the German-speaking content. I don't know if I will be posting content double.
@carsten Okay 👌 This leads me to wonder whether we should add support to yarnd for adding some additional pieces of data on feeds, such as:
- # type = rss|bot
- # lang = ...
To name a few...

Maybe it is good to have. Possibly also a Timezone field would be nice?
@carsten What purpose would a "Timezone" field on a feed serve? 🤔

@prologic i don't personally think it'd be any useful (plus why not just use UTC for everything otherwise)
@akoizumi I _think_ @carsten had something else in mind... (which is why I forked and asked) -- I'm sure something is cooking, I just can't think of what though... Maybe so we can (optionally) display the "Local Time" on someone's profile like "It is currently 10PM for @foobarbaz"? 🤔

I was thinking about it the other day.
Twtxt spec requires the Z (Zulu) Timezone. But what about posting the local time, and the server/client makes the conversions.
That's even better if you travel around and your local Timezone changes often.
@eaplmx Actually pretty much all clients behave this way already and do the right thing. Conversions are handled and in yarnd date/times are displayed in your local timezone (Check your Settings)

Then you can show the Timezone based on the last Twt. Is not as specific as having a ICANN Timezone, but I think is precise and dynamic enough.
@eaplmx Hmmm I still don't quite follow sorry 😢

@prologic no worries, my point goes on saving the Timezone on the Twtxt file, instead of adding a Metadata (which is going to be outdated if you travel to another Timezone)
That way, the CLI tool or Yarn could take the current Timezone convert it to your local time and say "this user has this Timezone, is X hours behind you, it's 4am for them"
@eaplmx Yeah I _believe_ it is allowed as per the RFC3339 time format. Clients _just_ handle it though correctly, so yeah 👌
