Damn threading and replays on that 🐦 site is a mess. I had my first conversation on there today and I really missed twtxt/yarn conversation view!
@prologic Really cool to finally see a search option for twtxt/yarn. I imaged it to be build into a pod and not a stand-alone search engine. What are the sorting logic for the results?
@movq @prologic what happen to usenet? guees i'm too young for getting the reference...
@mckinley @brasshopper i dont think is is meant to last long. Minus is an art project, do it not made to be used but to make you think.
@jlj Haha sorry to lure you into 🐦 watching again. Was not intended. And thank you for setting up miniflux and rsshub on nftd.uk - I think I can even cut down on fomobook and instagabage with those tools😉
Great idea, will try to join next week, but for us in Europe it is in the middle of normal office-hours
@adi an API for pulling in twitter avatar? why not just use the URL since you already got the handle?
@prologic what bug? I was only asking to have the img-links shown as images instead of just icons.
@prologic i added it as twitter://twitter.com/gtdguy - should it just be twitter://gtdguy ? And yes it might be because there is no recent posts, but then i would be nice if it just pulled the latest 5 posts or so.
I wanna try if i can use twtxt as RSS/atom reader along with twitter frontend. And I also got some ideas for simplifying the "Add feed"-workflow for the normal users.

@prologic I would like to see some basic features rolled out before inventing new stuff. Like getting a search engine up and running, so we can build filtering features for improving the UI and UX.\nAlso the flow/speed of conversation (the social act, not the yarn-feature) on twtxt vs. IRC is radically different. IRC is ephemeral chatting and twtxt is microbloging at its cores.

@prologic i like the idea about plugins for all the extra features beside basic twtxt'ing/yarn'ing :)\n@https://twtxt.net/user/adi/twtxt.txt> I take that as a compliment;) is there a live link to you minimalist yarn server?

@adi @prologic I like how clean and compact it is:) It is a bit confusing to see where the Replay/Conversations/tag line belongs - is it to the post above or below. so maybe move the
line below the post instead of just under the content of the post. There are 100 other ways to make it look nice, that we can explore, like this one: http://darch.dk/yarn-hack/Mockup_to_Code/
@prologic @jlj I've been opposing adding DM/chat to yarn, because there already are sooo many chat services out there and having to stay on top of yet another inbox is something i would like to avoid. Though if we can come up with some way of relaying/forwarding the DMs to whatever service you prefer, like just sending a email to the users existing account seem like a good option or to build in support for delta.chat that just uses email for chat.

I had similar ideas for re-labeling stuff in the new UI. But TBH I don't know when I will be able to get around to work on it..
@prologic yes, I'm aware that a relationship can be established when A (@darch) fetches the feed from B (@sorenpeter). Bu there is nothing anywhere online that can tell you that B follows or fetches A. I don't have a client as such for @sorenpeter except my interface for posting to http://darch.dk/twtxt.txt and a local instance of the original twtxt client on my macbook, that i have not run for over 6 months.
@movq @lyse that is some serious minimalist llifhacking going on here. hmm now we will have night trains in Denmark again this might be something to try out
@prologic non worries. hope you are well after the surgery:)
@prologic did you get my email earlier this week about GitHub for UI/UX?
@prologic maybe. is it something for twtxt/yarn, that can be used for hosting people's twtxt.txt? I had a look at cabal.chat yesterday that seem to have something like this going for it, but it was still very buggy.
@sorenpeter how does the use of tabs in this message work in other clients?
I want to use some kind of code for replacing with <p> or <br> in my render at http://darch.dk/twtxt/ using #picoblog and darch.dk/twtxt/gallery.php - so far i tried >> , // and tabs

@johanbove nice, so it just takes the twtxt.txt and renders it as html/CSS via JS?
@prologic it could also be a feature of yarn. both on the timeline and user page. but I would still like a super lightweight script to integrate into almost any website.
Yup... I should be public now
Will try to explain at a later time. but unix time might be a solution.
@anth I would like to prefix uploaded media files via my twtxt webclient with the datetime so the can easly be viewed in a chronological gallery and linking back the original yet with just a simple grep
@anth just tried on my main disk in my macbook. did not work. I'm more concerned with not confusing the end user and securing cross platform complability that what might be allowed in some OSs.
@anth macos and windows does not seem to like it
@prologic @sorenpeter @movq yeah i know that there are standard for a reason. But you can't have : in filenames and I'm building an instagram-ish view for twtxt when i want an easy way to link back to the original post.
@jlj @prologic I haven't been working on twtxt/yarn stuff for the last couple of months. Been busy with organising live gigs and learning gls. But I think I can get back to it next week. I had an idea for a white paper (I think that is what you call it) on the potentials for how twtxt/yarn can replace the silo social medias. It could go along with the manifesto.

@hecanjog i got a timer on my modem so it is turns off at 9 in the evening and back on at 8.30. I works some day to get earlier to bed, but not tonight...

it should have been "I'm sure" and not "unsure"...
https://groups.io/ might be an contemporary alterative. I have not really tried it out myself, but have considered trying to migrate some of the few Facebook groups I'm still a member of over here
@maya as @jlj said is very fragmented. maybe write some short blog posts about you thought on zine typesetting and the other cool stuff you mentioned. Facebook groups sadly almost killed of webforum, but unsure they are still out there.
@darch @prologic @maya Ah i think i start to get it. but what is it facebook did to solve this issue?
what is it Facebook got worked out? I seem to be missing the First post of thes conversation...
I liked the first 15 sec... and then I liked the rest even more;)
@readfog yes, @prologic made a UIUX branch, but it seem to have disappeared from the OP...
Ha, doing waht the error message from make dev suggested (go get github.com/GeertJohan/go.rice/embedded) did the trick: Now it picked up my changes in the templates:) Thanks everyone, you are great:)
my main issue it this https://twtxt.net/twt/uu5ew5a so maybe there is a way to start over from scracht because i have *go* idea what I have been messing around with...
@readfog thank you, but i still get an error: 
@jlj still gets the error after make deps
@darch can't do neither make nor make dev 
So when i run twtd w/o debug mode is asks for a settings.yaml, but I can't seem to find it anywhere in the github repo... 
@jlj really great read. is this the manifesto dressed like a casual blog post😉
@prologic yes otherwise twtd won't start on my machine
@prologic when I edit the html template files nothing changes. changing the CSS files works okay... I tried to restart twtd and to re-compile it but still no luck. Can you point me to some doc about how this Go thing works? Not the whole zibang, just the part I need to know for the UI-stuff😊
@prologic Great, then let's see if I can figure out how to work with git
BTW how is the search engine coming along?

@darch @prologic @xxiivv Aslo why is the "Conversation"-link missing here?\n**EDIT: I think it is because @hxii is generating AND including his own hashed in the messaged even before posting, so there is no original #zNzFlMA
@prologic @hxii I'm also following this feed and I have been staring at it for a week or two now. I kinda like what @xxiivv did here as a way to tell about upcoming events. But we would need to build some UI and logic to hide or separate out future-posts from the daily flow.
and on https://feeds.twtxt.net/feeds it does not show up
