You have a microwave oven at home, right?

You can type 3 and 0 for 30 seconds, 100 for a minute (shown as 1:00), or 200 for two minutes (2:00).

What would happen if you type 777 and Start?
A) Nothing
B) Self-destruction
C) Will run for 7 minutes and 77 seconds (boring!)

What about 7777 ?

I’ve polished the CSS style a bit, you can try it here: https://eapl.me/treed/

another one would be to allow changing public keys over time (as it may be a good practice [0]). A syntax like the following could help to know what public key you used to encrypt the message, and which private key the client should use to decrypt it:

!<nick url> <encrypted_message> <public_key_hash_7_chars>

Also I’d remove support for storing the message as hex, only allowing base64 (more compact, aiming for a minimalistic spec, etc.)

interesting idea. I’m not personally interested on having DM conversations on twtxt (for now), although I see the community could be interested in.

I’d suggest to enable the Discussion section in your Github repo to receive comments, as we did for timeline https://github.com/sorenpeter/timeline/discussions

If you want a problem solved, you give it to someone as a project. If you don’t want a problem to be solved, you give it to someone as a job

My bad! My editor was set to use 4 spaces instead of a tab… Making twts by hand is hard =P

Thanks @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org! I’m replying here https://text.eapl.mx/reply-to-lyse-about-twtxt

I’ve been thinking of a few improvements for the next generation of twtxt spec, let me know if these are useful or interesting :) https://text.eapl.mx/a-few-ideas-for-a-next-twtxt-version

I’m not writing on ‘twtxt’ as much as I did in 2021-2022. While it has many advantages, I couldn’t get my close circle to join.

As part of my focus on digital minimalism, I aim to only use services that bring joy, value, and spark interesting conversations within the community.
That’s why I’m considering suspending my twtxt, switching to microblog on other platforms.

If anything of what I’ve written is interesting for you, or want to chat, you can find me on various platforms here:
