One of the frustrating parts of using twtxt for conversations is the URLs are, well… ugly. Anyone (like y’all yarn folks) looked at using webfinger for translating user@domain accounts to URLs?

@anth@a.9srv.net Yes actually, we have been looking at that recently. Once upon a time I came up with my own hacky (indieweb / git / go inspired) way of doing something similar, but I think yarnd instances could have builtin support for WebFinger pretty easily (server-side and client lookups and expansion).
