It cannot be the URL, because the author _could_ change where they serve it from. This was as "good" as we could get it, but time and time again this has proven to be problematic for, well, a few folks that change their mind, which frankly should be allowed ๐

> Does yarnd provide an API for finding twts? Is it similar?
No, it doesn't. But
yarns (_the search engine/crawler wrote_) seems more fitting here. It's been discussed before, the possibility of building a "Twtxt Register v1" compatible API for yarns. I _think_ a search engine + crawler + registry (_especially ones that can form a bit of a "distributed network_) are far more useful I _think_ in order to support the _actual_ decentralised Twtxt / Yarn ecosystem (_which is how I prefer to describe it_).

yarnd certainly hasn't).

On registries however, I think a registry is the wrong approach. I see far greater value in feed crawlers and search engines like the (_half baked one_) I built over at https://search.twtxt.net/
