> as long as those working on clients can reach an agreement on how to move forward. That has proven, though, to be a pickle in the past.
I _think_ this is because we probably need to start thinking about three different aspects to the ecosystem and document them out:
- Specifications (_as they are now_)
- Server recommendations (_e.g: Timeline, yarnd, etc_)
- Client recommendations (_e.g: jenny, tt, tt2, twet, etc_)
Contents of the easter basket, not the pliers, thoughIt was the first time this year that we had half proper April weather and a thunderstorm in general. It started off with clear sky and lovely sunshine. Right after arvo lunch it started to rain, so we went into the hut. Then, the sun returned.
On the way back with the growling thunder in the distance coming closer and closer we escaped the rain just perfectly. A minute or two after we reached the car, wet stuff started coming down the sky. Not even half a minute after opening the front door, it poured like crazy. Lucky twice today. There's beautiful sunshine again by now. It smells absolutely great after the rain. I love it!

> what is twtxt for you?
For me Twtxt is just the underlying format that Yarn.social builds upon ๐
Range requests, but opted instead to just archive/rotate our feeds periodically ๐
There really isn't much point in having a feed in reverse chronological order, except (_maybe?_) so a human read view the new twts at the top of the file?! ๐คฃ_
.(s) / dot(s) like @eapl.me are valid? ๐ค Or nicks even? ๐ค

Recall what we had this set to for this pod? ๐ง
I opened up all the photos in new tabs and went through them. For a second, I wondered that it was snowing at your place right now. :-D
That made me realize that so far we basically had nearly no April weather whatsoever. May might be full of it then, let's see. :-)
Watching "Happy People: A Year in the Taiga" in German the evening before, this thing totally looked like a trap to us. So, we decided to sit on another, more rustic bench nearby. :-) Oh neat, it turns out, there is a much longer four part series of the documentary in English on YouTube. Highly recommended! This is part one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fbhPIK-oBvA
Judging by the surroundings, I think this is actually a forest altar or something of that nature. But it looks like they started with the chappel's reinforcement steel and then they ran out of money before completing it or even placing the concrete forms. :-P
Yeah, 78 might be photo of the month. It's one of my favorites.

@<kate https://yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz/user/kat/twtxt.txt> Glad you think so! ๐ My goal with Yarn.social has always been to provide the best (_best that I can anyway!_) truly decentralised (_slow_) social experience that uses the Twtxt format under the hood ๐
Something is swallowing it.
- Sharing small posts
- Sharing links
- Sharing media
- Having long conversations
- Voting on topics, opinions or decisions
- RSVPing to virtual or physical events
yarnd does for Youtube/Spotify/whatever embedding. Plus anyone can participate, even if they don't really have a client that understand it, it's just text with some "syntax" afterall.
- Gin
- Echo
- Chi
yarnd UI/UX experience (_for those that use it_) and as "client" features (_not spec changes_). The two ideas are quite simple:- Voting -- a way to cast, collect a vote on a decision, topic or opinion.
- RSVP -- a way to "rsvp" to a virtual (_pr physical_) event.
Both would use "plain text" on top of the way we already use Twtxt today and clients would render an appropriate UI/UX._
