Just a thought, but it might be possible to create a tumblr or tegaki diary clone in twtxt format. Illustrators upload their work to twitter and pixiv, but I think self-hosting has various advantages.
@hashrock@twtxt.net You could probably achieve this now by going to Feeds and create a new persona/feed for yourself that you do nothing but post your artwork to? 🤔
@hashrock@twtxt.net How would it work? (Given what I said above)
@hashrock@twtxt.net Yeah I think @darch@neotxt.dk has tried to create something like this 👌
@hashrock@twtxt.net What if it were integrated into the yarnd
UI as it is now or similar? 🤔 What would that look like? 🤔 What would we need to build? 🤔
@hashrock@twtxt.net yes that is exactly my idea with pixelblog, and I’m up for working together on improving it or making it part of yarnd
one option is to make an extension for a CMS like yellow which i been using for years and I already talked with the devs about twtxt
@prologic@twtxt.net it could look like the gallery/grid view on http://darch.dk/pixelblog and work in a similar way where each thumbnail links back to the post containing it
@prologic@twtxt.net It would be good to make a gallery view like darch is talking about. Also, it would be nice to be able to post images by pasting from the clipboard, although this is trivial.
@hashrock@twtxt.net Is this something we can do with a custom profile view? Or a search view? 🤔
@hashrock@twtxt.net Ahh I see 🤔 Can you mock one up so we get an idea? 🤗
@hashrock@twtxt.net The fact that we can search and pull up media a Yarn user shares is probably all we need to pull this off whether it’s a view on the ‘yarndUI or a separate external app 👌
@hashrock@twtxt.net you can already point pixelblog to an external twtxt.txt, but generating thumbnails does only work for local files.
And for mockup take a look at: https://darch.dk/pixelblog/gallery/
But it would be nice to have a more tumblr look with thumbnails in their propper aspect ration as in your mockup above.
@hashrock@twtxt.net Pretty much… But I also think we can produce and give nice JSON responses for feeds / profiles and even searches 👌
@hashrock@twtxt.net I have an ask of you then… Either:
a) You file appropriate Issues
or
b) You write something that wants to use something like this, and work with me to “just build” it 😅
