π‘ Thinking about adding a Link: <https://twtxt.net/user/eldersnake/>; rel="profile"> header to all /twtxt.txt handlers for Yarn.social yarnd pods. π€ Also thinking about creating a spec around this cc @lyse -- This would be used for two purposes a) To advertise (_alongside your feed, the header is really easy to add even with NGINX_) your "profile" data and b) So other pods can use this information and in turn mobile clients like Goryon. I _think_ it's a pretty simple addition, alal IndieWeb-style, just add a simple header that links to a JSON document...

@prologic @lyse Alternatively I _could_ just parse the preamble of external feeds for # follow = and just count those and display that as the "Follows N" count. But of course there's no way to count "Followers" for external feeds (_do we even care?_)

@prologic Up until now I didn't know there is such a thing as profile links. Haven't read this RFC yet. Hmm, not sure if we need that. I certainly don't plan to provide one, on impulse I'm a bit averse. Definitely need to have sleep on it.
@lyse Iβm kind of thinking we donβt really need it either π But it would be nice to be able to display follows and followers counts across pods and even external feeds somehow? π

@prologic @lyse Would it be easy enough to add a link to an external user's blog (twts)? Currently, users won't be aware that an external user has any unless they navigate away from the hosting pod to the external pod.
@laz Hmmmm π€ I'm not quite sure what you mean... I mean pods already interact with external feeds and display a "profile" for them, even if you don't follow them. What's missing here?

@laz Ahh yes I see what you mean! π Yes I'm already thinking about solving this, as well as the Following and Followers counts. I've been talking about this for the past couple of days π€£ Coming soonβ’ to a pod near you π

@laz Oh actually btw I do like your squareish slightly rounded avatars rendering π

@prologic @laz # link = My blog https://example.com/blog/ is now possible according to the spec. :-)
@prologic @laz Now yarnd needs a new UI to manage these links, doesn't it?
@lyse @laz Yup Iβm working on it in a refactor and overhaul of yarnd mostly related to handling external feeds, feed metadata and such π

@laz Yes, this is absolutely the case for yarnd (although, this link should probably only be added if there's at least one blog article). However, not everybody maintains a blog (I don't), so links are optional just as any other metadata.
@laz @lyse Yup and nice idea in details of an implementation I like it π
