Twtxt spec enhancement proposal thread 🧵
Adding attributes to individual twts similar to adding feed attributes in the heading comments.
https://git.mills.io/yarnsocial/go-lextwt/pulls/17
The basic use case would be for multilingual feeds where there is a default language and some twts will be written a different language.
As seen in the wild: https://eapl.mx/twtxt.txt
The attributes are formatted as [key=value]
They can show up in the twt anywhere it is not enclosed by another element such as codeblock or part of a markdown link.
@xuu It’s growing on me for sure 👍 Let’s see what others think. What other use-cases can we use these for? I’m not all that convinced that reposts/boosts work all that well based on what I’ve seen, but happy to be proven wrong 😑
@xuu@txt.sour.is seems like a good idea
@xuu @prologic@twtxt.net All I can tell you is I won’t have a use for key value pairs. If I write a German message every now and then, I’m too lazy to annotate the language. I also never missed formal reposts. The simplicity works well for me.
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I think it’s fine if this is an optional opt-in feature. I’d only be worried that it might clutter up the content you care about reading hmm 🧐
