twtxt2html
static page generator for Twtxt Feeds 👌 Media
@prologic@twtxt.net right now it just part of yarnd
right? I would make a lot of sense to have it as a separate app for deploying on other site
yarns
will get reused directly into yarnd
, except that I'll use the bluge indexer instead.
@prologic@twtxt.net I do’t want to split the index in 3. The first two would be on the user’s home pod only, a then you would be taken to a yarns
instance
for the global search
yarns
will get reused directly into yarnd
, except that I'll use the bluge indexer instead.
Down the line I like to see that the end user will be offer three leves if search:
Personal(ized) for only searching in feeds you follow (scope: Timeline)
Local/pod for search only feeds that are hosted or followed by other people on your home pod (scope: Discover)
Global for searching in all indexed feed
Maybe the 2nd level can be skipped, but it might become usefulness if the network grows and we get pods with special profiles like regional ones
yarns
will get reused directly into yarnd
, except that I'll use the bluge indexer instead.
@prologic@twtxt.net would i make sense to move the global search to http://search.yarn.social or get another domain for it so it is not as as tidly bound to twrxt.net?
@prologic@twtxt.net sure when I will go to bed yet…
yarns
will get reused directly into yarnd
, except that I'll use the bluge indexer instead.
@quark@ferengi.one try switching to query string under options
yarns

@prologic@twtxt.net great work. All booked this weekend with AFK stuff, but hope I will have time next week to do something about the UI/UX
yarnd
? Are you working on those to get them working in the new SimpleCSS-based theme? 🤔
@prologic@twtxt.net I would leave it there now. Personally I’m not using link validation feature, so we could remove it of there is not objections. Regarding image view option, there are some improvements that I would like to do to how it’s working atm
yarnd
? Are you working on those to get them working in the new SimpleCSS-based theme? 🤔
@prologic@twtxt.net it is fixed by borrowing code from picoCSS in 00-pico-tech-debt.css, but it would be nice to redo it more in line with simpleCSS (someday/maybe)
@prologic@twtxt.net yes, I’m just dreaming big. Let’s just get something working
The filters shown will be depending on the search results and the numbers/frequently will be used for sorting under each filter and the only show the first 3-5 names and an unfold option to get to the rest
@prologic@twtxt.net ah okay, I imagine something like greb author
@prologic@twtxt.net i imagine some of the filters cen be done by adding a +author:datch
to the query.
@prologic@twtxt.net here’s a crude mock-up of a search interface
@prologic@twtxt.net Not sure I know how to fix the issue, since I don’t really know JS very well.
@prologic@twtxt.net Sorry to say that the issue seem to have started with your commit ef79797f97
When I checkout the previous commit by Tai Groot 649978bbd2, build it and run on my server the issue with the disappearing Bookmark and Mute buttons are not there.
@prologic@twtxt.net not sure it fixed yet…
#bug Anyone else noticed that clicking on Bookmarks or Mute make the icon disappear?
I belive it was cause by the CSS changes I made in yesterdays PR, which have already been merged to main, but trying to roll back the change does not seem to fix it, so it might have been ther for some time.
Will others please test on their pods and report back here?
just walking up,so yawn, coffe, yarn
@prologic@twtxt.net Allright i did a little bug huting. Theres is a new PR ready now fixing some mobile UI bugs #1008
Please let me know if you are still finding odd UI stuff
@prologic@twtxt.net there might still be som UI-isuues on mobile, so let look that over hopefully in the weekend
@stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no Sig til hvis du trænger hjælp at opgradere :)
And for fixing your logo I found this online SVG editor quite helpful: https://www.rapidtables.com/web/tools/svg-viewer-editor.html
@stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no are you on your own pod? If you upgrade to the latest version of yarn from source it should look like this:
You can also change it by targeting the element using the Custom CSS field, but I have also been thinking to change the colors myself in the new theme based on SimpleCSS
@prologic@twtxt.net Would it help if i did not have the code-block stuff in the beginning?
As you can see in http://algorave.dk/bbs.txt I have been testing out a lot of ways to indicate the authorship of the post, but most of them does not render as expected on yarn
@BBS@algorave.dk testing in-reply-to render of bold
@prologic@twtxt.net why does this render like this instead of [by: @darch@neotxt.dk]
?
Interesting take on hashing. Maybe this approach can open up for allowing editing of twtxt posts without breaking the back-linking: https://matt-rickard.ghost.io/perceptual-hashing
This is a cool way of adding commenting or a guestbook options to a webpage - if it is hosted on github, that is: https://garrit.xyz/posts/2022-10-05-simple-guestbook
@prologic@twtxt.net ah yeah, that’s a cleaver way of doing it
@prologic@twtxt.net Adding what-what?
@justamoment@twtxt.net if you can guess the password you are in. Not very secure, but maybe it does not need to be
@justamoment@twtxt.net I kinda had the same idea for using a twtxt file for incoming comment on a blog and the people could follow that feed to see the comment.
A way to implement it would be like I did at http://algorave.dk/bbs where everyone can comment if they know know the password
@eaplmx@twtxt.net nice to see my old phpub2twtxt being used🤘
Never heard about mlmmj
before, so might look into it. Do you have any web archive setup with it?
@prologic@twtxt.net for my pod and all the pods to come i envision some kind of membership feed of maybe 1eur på month or 5eur pr year and then we will provide all the service you would need to selfhost you digital life. Similar to pikapod and sandstorm but way easier to use for the average person
@prologic@twtxt.net will the files only be stored on the original pod or federated to all pod following the person(a)?
@prologic@twtxt.net I haven’t, but my focus is on stuff that “just works” for normal people 😉
@tkanos@twtxt.net I’m glad you like it. I got a ton more ideas for UI/UX improvement, but for October i will try (again) to focus more on writing blog post for blog.neotxt.dk about how yarn/twtxt can be part of setting our digital life free along other decentralisering tools
🤘 cän yöü dö önë för yärn töö
@mckinley@twtxt.net we could make the Reply, Fork etc. look more like buttons, but right now it’s not on the top of my list either.
@mckinley@twtxt.net or add vim shortcuts to yarn🤓
@prologic@twtxt.net Hmm this seems like is a problem with the markdown parser not the CSS, since there are no HTML-elemt for the CSS to style…
@prologic@twtxt.net try with some space — or line-breaks
around the lines
@prologic@twtxt.net try with some space — or line-breaks
around the lines
@mckinley@twtxt.net yes I saw no need for them and it was the easiest way to fix it.
In Danish there are an expression called “narrestreger” which literally means “fools strokes”. I have learned from my sister, who is a visual designer, that you should just avoid using “narrestreger” since it only needed if your design is bad to begin with. You should rater use more blank-space, typography or colors to indicate division instead of lines.
@prologic@twtxt.net yup that is my very hacky header menu I made by injection some html in the custom logo field. I didn’t fix the mobile view for it yet
@prologic@twtxt.net and @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org. Those line are already removed in the latest PR😉
@prologic@twtxt.net the fix is live now on neotxt.dk. let me know how it looks at your end?
@akoizumi@social.kyoko-project.wer.ee i can’t access the link…
There is a commit now in the theme branch. See if it fixes it for you
I guess I can just look at the screenshot you posted 😂
@prologic@twtxt.net what’s the screen width of your iPhone?
@prologic@twtxt.net is it getting to an annoying level?
I would rather see a lot of other features before.
What are the advantages to an invite system compares to just close registration and add a contact form for applying for an account?
@prologic@twtxt.net yes i noticed that myself, in on my backlog
data
directory is at 231MiB now. 😀
@brasshopper@twtxt.net mine is over 500 MB, so I had to move my yarn-dev out of my dropbox…
@tkanos@twtxt.net Æooks interesting. Especially likes their description of what it is and what it’s not. We could use something like that for yarn.social. And they got a cute logo too. @thecanine@twtxt.net something you could be up for?
It should be ready now
Just fixed a typo: G0
-> GO
Is GIO
also a typo?
it in the tech debt PR, but i’m working on a better design as we speak
yarnd
has reached the 1,000th Pull Request 😅
1🧶🧶🧶
@mckinley@twtxt.net we already got a title field in form of (subject)
– it’s just hidden here on yarn by design
I agree with @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org on this. It is outside the scope of twtxt as a microbloging protocol to start including more formel metadata fields such as titles
@prologic@twtxt.net I made a new PR (#998) that I hope will fix the issues you have pointed out:
- Link Verification not working (due to missing modal from pico.css)
- Lightbox not working (due to missing modal from pico.css)
- In-reply-to now only show max 3 lines of the root post
But the “(…) pull request has changes conflicting with the target branch.”
@prologic@twtxt.net The lightbox is also using the modal feature from pico.css…
@prologic@twtxt.net yup, there is a modal feature build into pico.css that i have not copied to the the theme
@prologic@twtxt.net Allready did that, because I found it confusing too:
@prologic@twtxt.net Yes that is an new “feature” (not a bug™️) - I have made it to be limited to 3 lines after I made the PR.
Anything else you have found to be off/odd?
@eaplmx@twtxt.net I see it as a way to add feed to all sort of sites so people don’t have to relay on twitter, facebook and instragam to share their updates, but instead selfhost a twtxt.txt that people can follow in any way they see fit
@akoizumi@social.kyoko-project.wer.ee How does it look when you inspect the site?
@akoizumi@social.kyoko-project.wer.ee do you have JS turned off? Because it seem that there are some event that decides the visibility of follow/unfollow
@akoizumi@social.kyoko-project.wer.ee I don’t have that issue on my pod…
@BBS@algorave.dk test replying to the #algoraveBBS
@akoizumi@social.kyoko-project.wer.ee yeah but I did change some things in other part of the code so you might get some errors or stuff will not show as intented
@akoizumi@social.kyoko-project.wer.ee Cool, let know if you need any help. You need to build yarnd
from the branch and replace it on your pod-server (remember to backup the old yard binary;)
@tkanos@twtxt.net nice work. What are the ranking based on? Number of posts in the feed?
@mckinley@twtxt.net thank for the notes.
The new Simple.css based theme is online now at neotxt.dk thanks to the help of @prologic@twtxt.net and there is a PR pending now too.
@tkanos@twtxt.net the orange is the default dark mode from simplecss.org - you can also find it inside 03-colours.css in the branch repo. I’m on my phone so can’t pull out the hex code right now, but now you know where to look;)
@eaplmx@twtxt.net they are only visible in my custom theme on neotxt.dk, but if you hover the icons on twtxt.net you should see the times as well
@eaplmx@twtxt.net you can’t know unless you follow them allready.
But I have been brewing on an idea to let you inform someone when you start to follow them, if they are open for such notifications. It could either be via webmetions or simply an option in the UI to email them if they have given disclose that in their twtxt.txt. There is also an option in the original spec to see who follows you in your webservers logfiles
@tkanos@twtxt.net that combinde could maybe be called “Chime in” in the UI
@tkanos@twtxt.net like this?
Seem we are missing the reply to treads that you have started, but where people have not necessary mentioned you in - great idea to have that too:)
@mckinley@twtxt.net Yeah I talked to the developer of picoblog via twitter and he said he would put a Apache License 2.0 on picoblog, which mean i guess pixelblog would have to use the same license since it to some extend is a fork of the former. Why do you ask?
@prologic@twtxt.net yeah im up for that, but make sure to metion my current profile at neotxt.dk, snot the old one at twtxt.dk😉
@eapl.mx@eapl.mx Hola amigo, it seems to work :)
Idea for new purple(ish) color scheme for yarn.social’s visual identity base on the html/css colors named SlateBlue
and SeaGreen
@eaplmx@twtxt.net Pixelblog should be mostly plug and play. No need for you to mess around with coding php.
@prologic@twtxt.net ‘go’ for it ;)
@eaplmx@twtxt.net To reply to a message or tread you add the hash-tag from the URL of the message your want to reply to in parentheses to the beginning of your message.
For this conversation or tread it would be DATETIME your reply here...
@akoizumi@social.kyoko-project.wer.ee it not gone here:
@eapl.mx@eapl.mx You could take a look at picoblog that I have been using on my websites and my pixelblog project
I believe I have fixed what I found of issues on the main pages, so theme_simpleCSS should be ready for daily use and a merge with main soon.
One big change is that the Custom Secondary Color under Settings now control the icons and inline-code instead of Hover/Select Color as before
@tkanos@twtxt.net Haha no worries 🤙 Maybe we will leave that issue for later. Just really great with all the feedback and to see that you guys want more color options 🎨
@tkanos@twtxt.net Ouch there is a scenario that I didn’t anticipate… You might have to run you own pod to be able to change between two dark themes if the change is to be controlled automatically by your OS/browser.
Or we need to extend the option for custom CSS beyond just a primary/accent and secondary/icon color…
Hmm we could add the option to just add each of those for a dark and and light mode.
