It would make Yarn a bit more unique. I, for one, would love to use my real name, Jürgen. 😁

@fastidious In that case then, let's explore this...

Some questions:

- Will most file systems handle this okay as the feed's filename and avatar filenames?
- Is this supported in the URI

Some questions:

- Will most file systems handle this okay as the feed's filename and avatar filenames?
- Is this supported in the URI spec so URLs for feeds will still work?
- _anything else I might be missing?_ 🤔

Someone willing to muck with the regex and give this a go? 😂_

@prologic I will test the questions. I am sure the regex is out there already, but maybe @lyse and/or @movq can help on that?

@fastidious So the regex just needs to be updated to support Unicode and to have the same set of rules, namely:

- Must start with a letter -- Even if that letter is in another language
- Must only contain letters, numbers, underscores and dashes
- Must be no longer than 15 characters long

I'm sure we can make this happen and support Username/Feed names in other languages! 😅 👌

@prologic Funny how we failed to specify this in the metadata extension. As the whole file is encoded as UTF-8, it’s technically legal to use any UTF-8 string for nick, eh? 🥴

Might break stuff in jenny/mutt, but I haven’t tested it.

Yup, RE_NICK_INVALID.

@fastidious @prologic At first I thought, that the original Twtxt Specification limited the nicks to be ASCII-only, but I was wrong. I couldn't find anything in that regard. The reference implementation also allows it:

$ twtxt follow äöüß https://example.com
✓ You’re now following äöüß.
