Did you demoed Yarn? When it comes to less friction nothing can beat a web browser!
@bender I taught the whole ecosystem 😁
@prologic @eapl.me The question I was asked the most was: How do I discover people?
Someone came up with a fantastic idea, instead of adding the new twt at the end of the feed, do it at the beginning. So you can paginate by cutting the request every few lines.
thanks andros!

The PHP client did that originally, although I didn't see a real benefit if you use... a client.
It could help if you read the .txt file through a browser or something. Also, not many clients are prepared to cut the request, and you can't rely on the file being organized that way, so finally we dropped that feature.
