s? i remember reading somewhere whitespace should not be allowed, but i don't see it in the spec on twtxt.dev — in fact, are there any other resources on twtxt extensions outside of twtxt.dev?
@zvava@twtxt.net @movq@www.uninformativ.de I’m not entirely sure about the spaces, but maybe they were omitted to simplify parsing of mentions in the form of @<nick url>
. If the next token after the @<nick
does not look like a URL, it’s not a mention but regular text. This is just wild guessing, though.
Looking at the regex and tests in the original twtxt reference implementation seems to confirm that theory in the sense as it relies on whitespace as the delimiter:

Another thing about nicks is that the original twtxt reference implementation converts nicks to all lowercase:

You probably know this already, the original twtxt file format specification can be found here: https://twtxt.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user/twtxtfile.html
As for extensions, I don’t know of anything outside of twtxt.dev that has actually been (partially) implemented. However, there is also the issue tracker of the official reference implementation. You might wanna dig through that. For example, there is an alternative suggestions of multiline messages: https://github.com/buckket/twtxt/issues/157
What a crazy color temperature this yellow orange was in person! Sick lighting this evening: https://lyse.isobeef.org/abendhimmel-2025-09-15/
We just had some lovely colors again: https://lyse.isobeef.org/abendhimmel-2025-09-12/
It was nice to start a walk in the woods with sunshine. The last times it was all soupy. It was quite windy, autumn is certainly here. Soon, the leaves will begin to turn. https://lyse.isobeef.org/waldspaziergang-2025-09-11/
@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Ten stories or more are already very tall in my books. Not sure at which height I would start calling high rise buildings sky scrapers, but Wikipedia suggests around 150 meters, depending on region.
Oh, I just found https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/f1/Pier_17_2018-03_jeh.jpg and this really does not look all that high. I thought that this would be at least 50 or 100 meters up. I was completely wrong. :-D

I missed the best part, this was at the end:
