@alexonit @lyse i really don't understand why this was not the solution in the first place, given how simple twtxt is (mean to be), a reply should be as simple as #<https://example.com/twtxt.txt#2025-09-22T06:45Z> with the timestamp in an anchor link. the need for a mention is avoided like this as well since it's already linking to the replied-to feed!
🐀💭 i should just implement it into bbycll and force it into existence

This looks interesting - hi from France
This thing about making software run on other people's computers can be pretty hard!
No wonder I think I've heard this is one of the things that distinguishes professional software development from [my preferred domain of] things such as "end-user programming" etc.
The problem is that when you start sharing code in the context of a FLOSS project you almost immediately get enmeshed in concerns about packaging and how other people will install stuff, when sometimes you just don't want to be a professional software developer! 😿
I'm always borrowing terms (learning ideas) from @lr like: *incidental complexity*. I hate *incidental complexity* or maybe I just fear *incidental complexity*. Can we escape *incidental complexity*? I guess not.
This looks so huggable, it feels like a plushie! 🥰
After seeing so many resolutions, I think you're only missing a *matrioska* version of it. 🪆
@lyse Yeah, the format is just an idea of how it could work.
The order of SOURCE > POST does make more sense indeed.

@alexonit Personally, I find the reversed order of URL first and then timestamp more natural to reference something. Granted, URL last would be kinda consistent with the mention format. However, the timestamp doesn't act as a link text or display text like in a mention, so, it's some different in my opinion. But yeah.
God bless mr. Trump and USA
@prologic Me neither, if there's any important news others usually tell me anyway. 😌

@lyse Some stuff is actually more reliable, that’s true. It’s also waaaaaaaaaaay more expensive, though … :-)
I called it a day, yes. \o/
@movq But it's so reliable and they have all the experts, they know what they're doing! And don't forget, it's way cheaper! Just think of the 34 cents saved every year on paper, the business dude calculated!
Enjoy your weekend! (I hope, you just called it a day and don't have to drive to the office or silly shenanigans like that.)
The worst thing you can do is make your infrastructure (switches, wifi, ...) depend on some cloud service. Because someone else is maintaining that service; you have no control over it. You 100% depend on that other person now. Very stupid idea.
Now guess what manufacturers are pushing for ...
Now guess who couldn't complete a task at work this Saturday morning, because a certain cloud service was down ...
IT is fucked. Throw it all away and start over.

While working on the Discoverability for my twtxt client (it runs client-side) I found out that Chrome doesn't allow to set a custom user agent. 🙃
I thought it was a general thing for browsers, but it that was actually allowed in a newer specification, yet it's still not implemented in Chrome, it does work in Firefox though.

@zvava In tt, I recognize umlauts in nicks, but they cannot include whitespace, @, !, #, (, ), [, ], <, >, " (but ' is okay). Whitespace also acts as a separator between nick and URL. @<Hello World http://example.com> ends up exactly like that and is not a mention.
I would like to wish everyone, including all haters and losers (of which, sadly, there are many) a truly happy and enjoyable weekend!

@zvava I kinda fixed the issue by not stripping the timestamp at all.
Seems that more feeds work correctly this way. 🤔
@thecanine With a progressive web app (PWA) you can have a native like experience without having to trouble yourself with building a second project that act as a client.
You can even "wrap" it into a packaged installation and publish it on stores, theres even projects to streamline it https://www.pwabuilder.com/.

@zvava @lyse I also think a location based reference might be better.
A thread is a single post of a single feed as a root, but the hash has the drawback of not referencing the source, in a distributed network like twtxt it might leave some people out of the whole conversation.
I suggest a simpler format, something like: (#<TIMESTAMP URL>)
This solves three issues:
- Easier referencing: no need to generate a hash, just copy the timestamp and url, it's also simpler to implement in a client without the rish of collisions when putting things together
- Fetchable source: you can find the source within the reference and construct the thread from there
- Allow editing: If a post is modified the hash becomes invalid since it depends on [ timestamp, url, content ]
@zvava @lyse @movq I also was wondering how to handle this.
Currently my regex is like this: /@<((?<nick>[^\s]+)\s)?(?<url>\w+:\/\/[^>]+)>/g
It takes everything until the space and the nick is optional.
Hello everyone! 👋
After a long while away, I'm back on twtxt with this new feed.
Some of you might remember me as justamoment@twtxt.net, that was a test account I made for trying things out, but I ended up keeping it more than planned.
I also tried other social platforms in search of a place that felt right for me.
In the end twtxt was the one that ticked all of my boxes:
- Slow social: it act more like a feed reader and I really appreciate that there's no flood of content that I can't keep up with.
- No server needed: I absolutely love to have total control over my content, I tend to avoid having moving parts that might break, plus you can put your feed under version control and it's all backed up.
- Ownership: I can put my feed anywhere I want and nobody can decide if I can access it or not.
- For hackers: a single .txt file allows me to join a community, how cool is that!
This is why I decided to build my own twtxt client, one that allows you to decide how the feed is presented on your "instance".
It's still in the making but I'll try to share a bit of it once I defined how things should work.
Coincidentally, I discovered that @itsericwoodward and @zvava were also building a twtxt client, seems like twtxt is set to grow!

I know it doesn’t need to be said, but “Texudus” is not twtxt. It is an attempt to create a, arguably, “better way™️”. 🤭
@zvava ah, yes, that’s the only Texudus feed. It also seems it is a one way only feed.
@bender https://andros.dev/texudus.txt, its url doesn't correspond to the feed either
@zvava which Texodus feed? That I know of, there is only one, or am I wrong?
@lyse @movq bbycll's nickname regex is /^([-_\p{N}\p{L}])+$/iu because i don't like how english-centric only allowing ascii letters/numbers is though this only applies to local users as of now, currently all nicknames are tolerated when parsing remote feeds and i just do mentions how yarn does (just the feed url)
in the wild, i've noticed a texedus feed with spaces in the nick (where its spec explicitly disallows whitespace in the nick) and feeds with other symbols in the nick too. honestly, i think we should just tolerate arbitrary nicknames for sake of user expression (while stripping or converting unreasonable characters) and just leave them out of mentions
