Hi. I’ve found twtxt through @eaplmx@twtxt.net on smolpub.
I like very muche the idea.
I have two doubts about it
I’ve tried on windows but doesn’t work. Someone had success?
The online twtxt file must update manually, is it? The process is twtxt write to local file and in some moment i need to update the online twtxt with local?
@walves@twtxt.net HellO! 👋 And you’ve also found my pod twtxt.net – Hopefully you see this on Discover soon 🤞 (you don’t yet follow anyone – I’ll reply via @support@twtxt.net as well just in case…) – There are a number of clients you can use, the one you’re on right now is called yarnd – What we call a pod, can either by single-user (yourself) or multi-user (yourself + friends, family, etc) cc @prologic@twtxt.net @eaplmx@twtxt.net
@walves@twtxt.net hey walves!
I assume you have created an account on twtxt.net and you can see this message.
What have you used on Windows? The twtxt client on Python? (it’s broken on newest versions of python), if you want your .txt file to be available publicly you could host it in some server or running the twtxt client from some tilde or VPS.
Or use Twtxt.net (which is a Yarn.social server) to manage following other users, receiving mentions, replying to other twts, and such. It creates and serves the text file for you, from a web and mobile interface.
Or you can use various clients (from a terminal) to insert net lines (twts) to the file, and also to read other users’ files. Newest versions have extended the protocol to allow replies, hashtags and such.
I use both, in English I like twtxt.net/yarn.social since it’s easy to talk as a community. In Spanish I use the traditional approach of hosting a file, more like a micro log.
