In-reply-to » Twtxt was made for nerds, by nerds. I'd like to change that. It's by nerds/hackers, for nerds/hackers and friends of these. It doesn't have to be hacky all the time, as you don't need to be a nerd to have a blog. But, for that to happen, someone has to build the tools to improve UX.

Registry format is its own thing. It takes the regular feed and appends nick \t uri \t to it. Its something that existed before yarn got big. There is still a bit of work but I will put together a ui for it to make it easier to view and navigate.

In-reply-to » thanks @prologic! @bender the idea of the RFC was to reach an agreement on a difficult problem, receiving proposals, and the voting is a simple count to gauge the sentiment of "is this a problem worth to be fixed?, are we committed to implement a change in our clients?"

@bender@twtxt.net Yeah me too hmm 🧐

@prologic@twtxt.net I noticed that the hash also shows (as in clearly visible) on the “in-reply-to”. That doesn’t happen with any other client—well, at least not with Yarn, nor jenny.

@eapl.me@eapl.me@eapl.me@eapl.me What’s with your client not using the proper syntax for mentions?

$ bat 'https://twtxt.net/twt/lnrgahq' | jq '.text'

But that's a fair point. What do the community expect? What do y'all expect?"

@eapl.me@eapl.me I am currently working on Implementing a registry that is also a crawler. It finds any feeds that are mentioned or in the follows header.

I think @prologic@twtxt.net is also working on one.

I wonder if I can do away with the followers follows mutes tables and expect the client to actually filter Twts appropriately before Display? This would simplify the SqliteCache considerably and also mean it would be agnostic of single-user or multi-user as that’s delegated to another layer. Hmmm 🧐

In-reply-to » @xuu I had a lot of trouble figuring out how to do this too 😂

@bender@twtxt.net I never implemented it actually. That’s why we have the # refresh = metadata field for those that yell loudly enough can add to their feeds. Otherwise yarnd uses WebSub between pods and is fairly dumb. I could never find an “intelligent” way to back-off without hurting freshness.

Interesting.. so running into an issue where queries only return a partal set of rows if i run in a docker image built from scratch. i have to add the debian root image for it to work. I wonder what file is missing that the root has?

In-reply-to » I need to figure out a way to back off requests to feeds that don't update often.

Hmm I think I can come up with some kind of heuristic.. Maybe if the feed is requested and hasn’t updated in the last few mins it adds to the queue. So the next time it will be fresh.

In-reply-to » i really wanna learn golang it looks fun and capable and i can read it kind of but every time i try it i'm immediately stuck on basic concepts like "what the fuck is a pointer" (this has been explained to me and i still don't get it). i did have types explained to me as like notes on code which makes sense a bit but i'm mostly lost on basic code concepts

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org THANK YOUUUU I AM BOOKMARKING THIS FOR THE FUTURE <3
