@abucci while mentioning Mastodon simpler alternatives, I think GoToSocial is worth one. :-)

@prologic right. It has the neat visual appeal (without going too much overboard), that could make a remake of Yarn UI better looking. For what I can see it is most feature rich, but haven't compared them both in excruciating details to be absolutely sure.

That is not to say that Picnic CSS is bad, nor that I don't like it. In a level of being decently simple, they both are. Bulma just comes across as more polished, that's all.

> I think @abucci and @stigatle are running snac? I didn’t have a closer look at snac (no intention of running it), but if that is a relatively small daemon (maybe comparable to Yarn?) that gives you access to the whole world of ActivityPub, then, well, yeah … That’s tough to beat.

Yes, I am running snac on the same VPS where I run my yarn pod. I heard of it from @stigatle, so blame him 😏 snac is written in C and is one simple executable, uses very little resources on the server, and stores everything in JSON files (no databases or other integrations; easy to save and migrate your data) . It's definitely like yarn in that respect.

I haven't been around yarn much lately. Part of that is that I've been very busy at work and home and only have a limited time to spend goofing off on a social network. Part of it is that I'm finding snac very useful: I've connected with friends I'd previously lost touch with, I've found useful work-related information, I've found colleagues to follow, and even found interesting conferences to attend. There's a lot more going on over there.

I guess if I had to put it simply, I'd say I have limited time to play and there are more kids in the ActivityPub sandbox than this one. That's not a ding on yarn--I like yarn and twtxt--I'm just time constrained.
@bender I guess if you're going to support the choice of Bulma (_and the reason for this Yarn in the first place is I'm pretty rubbish when it comes to UI/UX, so I need all the help I can get! 🤣_) -- You need to help me understand; Is Bulma a better choice because you see "components" it has that _may_ be useful in a new (say) Yarn 2.0? Or is Picnic CSS enough? 🤔_

@prologic it is a matter of taste. I see Bulma as more complete.

@prologic you know, wives will always find something they don’t like. I think they did a good job. Wish it was cheaper, but considering the have to redo walls, tiles (floor and shower walls), relocate drain, and water lines, do new floor boards, painting, new cabinets, new toilet, new lights. I mean, it was truly an entire remodeling. Worth it.

I have finally decided on creating a proper... (landing page?) home page or whatever it is for my domain name.

It has been the same eye soar of a blank white page for years now.
And this, is when I had something I wanted to toy with in the background,
otherwise, which is most of the time, to be precise, It wasn't pointing at anything at all. 😅

I'm not sure what the plans are anymore 😢 I still love the simplicity of Twtxt too and I've always seen this project as more of an "ecosystem".

Appreciate the positive kind words, but you're right, "momentum" has died a lot and I don't have as much spare time or energy as I used to.

@prologic It was one of (if not THE) first feed(s) I got to follow after discovering Twtxt and setting up my own.
It was quite nice for the first couple of hours, I've even got to explore a couple of @dfaria.eu's articles.

Theeeeen... Things started to feel a bit overwhelming I had to "Clean Things Up!".
Flushed my whole Jenny/Mutt cached twtxt feed and re-synced everything all over again.

But hey,
Good evening! 🎧🎵Guns N' Roses - Live and let die.

@aelaraji it depends. It was decently busy around here (Yarn)! 🤭

This Sunday (currently 16:46 US EDT) I mowed our lawn, trimmed bushes, blowed the dust, then showered, went shopping, cooked, and just now finished eating steamed rice with chick peas stew, and finely cut spam air fried crispy. Yum! I want more, but got to stop the glutton in me. 😂

@prologic well, if it is the master bathroom, and you are remodeling it whole, be prepared to dish out a chunk of money. We recently finished ours, and it was in the $28,000+ range. 😬

@bender TBH It was quite late (where I am) when I wrote that twt, way past 2 AM ... 😅
But there wasn't much activity during the day either. It got me wondering if there was something wrong with my cron task for fetching your feeds.

Maybe it's just the weekends. + there isn't much bloat content around this space as on the usual platforms anyway.

@prologic It’s always been super niche, but I think in the age of Twitter more people have been looking for free/libre alternatives than these days, because Mastodon is a big thing now and has mostly replaced Twitter. Mastodon is free/libre, lots of instances, lots of communities. I have a feeling that Yarn/twtxt is mostly appealing to us nerds and minimalists.

I still love the core ideas of twtxt. It’s great for hardcore minimalists. Yarn.social is great for people willing to run a server daemon. I still think all of this is a good thing.

We have certainly lost lots of momentum, though. Plus, there appear to be simpler alternatives to full blown Mastodon now. I think @abucci and @stigatle are running snac? I didn’t have a closer look at snac (no intention of running it), but if that is a relatively small daemon (maybe comparable to Yarn?) that gives you access to the whole world of ActivityPub, then, well, yeah … That’s tough to beat.

Not sure what my point is. 🤔 For me, it’s easy: I’ll keep using twtxt because all I have to do is host a text file. Dead simple, I love it.
