Make a prototype for #Lists for twtxt/yarn on: http://darch.dk/twtxt-lists

It is based on twtxt-php by eapl.mx, which is based on my own phpub2twtxt
Cool! 😎
@darch So, the format is based on the metadata extension? Why not just $NICK\t$URL\n?

@mckinley not sure I follow? There is not metadata extension for lists just yet, but my idea is to have lines like this in your main twtxt.txt:
# list = Name of List https://darch.dk/twtxt-lists/twtxt-feeds_by_me.txt.

Each list-file is then just simply as list of feeds like this:
# follow = darch https://neotxt.dk/user/darch/twtxt.txt

@darch I'm gone from twtxt for less than a year and I still see broken feeds I no longer have? lol
@darch Maybe I don't have the right idea of what lists are. Why do they need to be in a user's public feed in the first place? I thought it was just a function of Yarn as a twtxt client that would allow one to sort their followed feeds into lists to make it easier to digest your timeline.
@mckinley My idea is that lists can be both private and public, so you can share as list of curated feeds on a specific topic with others and also have a private list of feeds you don't want the world to know that you are reading. Making it work as a public format first was the easiest to do on top of twtxt-php.
