Recent twts in reply to #xi7nivq

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I have thought of different approaches, each have strengths and weaknesses. Mostly, I’d like to know what others think :-) In any case, I suppose I’d like to “extend” the hashtag generation API, so each blog post can have its own thread hash tag (like twts do). Then, “listing” the comments could be via querying a registry, and the “leave a comment” link could link to https://preconfigured-yarn.pod/?newtwt=@blogowner%20(#hashtag) or whatever link that would open that pod ready to create that new post if you’re logged in. Bonus points if you can configure more than one pod and it displays a dropdown; more bonus if we decide to implement twt:// uris letting twt clients listen to those (including a browser plug-in letting you say ‘open twt:// uris on https://my.pod’).

Yes, I might be overengineering.

Interestingly Yarn pods used to have a built-in “full blogging” feature that used to take advantage of very similar mechanisms. It would let you write a full blog post, with URI(s) like /blogs/<username>/<yyyy>/<mm>/<dd>.html (rendered from Markdown) and would automatically “announce” the blog post as a Twt itself. That Twt would become the “Root Hash” of all “comments” on that blog post.

We removed the feature as the community at the time “felt” it was out-of-scope and had a bunch of other missing features you’d typically find in a full-blogging engine.
