@sl1200 buenísimo! Me gusta poder iniciar sesión con TOTP, lo implementé en algunos servicios, y pienso que para Gemini funciona bastante bien.
Mmm, lo leí muy rápidamente, mi error. Deja ver si lo entendí:
gemini://sl1200.dystopic.world/art/notes_from_the_address_bar.gmi

La contraseña sirve para crear un secreto en base32, en vez de bits random.
El TOTP servirá como un Token con validez de 60 segundos, que va en la URL.

Entiendo entonces que en vez de un 2FA, es un factor único aquí. Mientras coincida con el secreto te permite publicar anotaciones.

Me gustó, pues hice algo parecido para mi archivo twtxt https://eapl.mx/twtxt.txt con este servicio Web https://eapl.mx/twtxt/
Había empezado con TOTP, luego con par Público/Privado, aunque al final lo dejé en WebAuthn, con sus ventajas e inconvenientes. Muy rápido puedo iniciar sesión en la laptop o el teléfono y empezar a publicar :)
@sl1200 Bueno, creo que tendría que escribir un poco sobre twtxt en el blog.

twxt.txt es el formato para hacer microblogging en un archivo de texto en un servidor. Parecido a finger aunque con timestamps. Aquí el último spec que conozco: https://twtxt.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user/registry.html#format-specification

La idea era tener un microblogging minimalista, descentralizado y orientado a Hackers.
Yo lo conocí, pues se usa en Gemini para hacer listados de post, y Antenna lo usa aunque no hay mucho contenido.
Como twtxt.txt tiene algunas limitaciones para hacer un microblogging más parecido al de Twitter, se hicieron algunas extensiones, y servicios Web para hacer más sencillo el hosting, responder y en general usarlo.
Por ejemplo: https://dev.twtxt.net/doc/twthashextension.html

Twtxt.net es una instancia de la plataforma Yarn.social, que supongo que inició como twt.social
YouTube - Twt.social a new way to social media. No ads, no tracking, 100% decentralised.
La idea es facilitar el hosting de los archivos .txt, y ofrecer una interfaz Web para usarlo.
@prologic puede contarnos mejor la historia de Yarn. Pasado, presente y futuro.

Aquí viene un breve resumen de la idea detrás de twtxt y Yarn:
https://indieweb.org/twtxt#Yarn.social
@eaplmx Most of the history behind Yarn.social can be found on the About Yarn.social page -- But essentially we're building an ecosystem, not a "platform" as you mentioned. yarnd the software behind what we call Yarn.social pods, is just one implementation of the Twtxt[1] spec and Extensions[2] -- Then there are other tools[3] and services[4] we've built up over time and probably more to come... (just some examples)

@prologic 👀 In my context we use "Platform" often, but not "Ecosystem", I guess I need to research a bit on the difference to understand it better.
Thanks for sharing all that! I always forget the About page

Ecosystems vs Platforms
@eaplmx I think "platform" in our industry is often taken to be some centralised service. I think that's why I prefer to call what we're building together an ecosystem 😅 I dunno 🤷‍♂️ I could be wrong!

@prologic I tried to write something about platform and protocols before (https://blog.neotxt.dk/protocols-not-platforms) by the word ecosystem mig be s better fit because it sound less technical
