yarnd itself is just downloading a binary and configuring it (which could also be easier)
@mckinley@twtxt.net Thanks! 🙇♂️

@bender@twtxt.net Fair points 🙇♂️
@hecanjog@hecanjog.com Also:
Best way to secure your application/swrvice; Don’t put it on the Internet
🤣
@aelaraji@aelaraji.com This is precisely how (and watching your own access logs for UserAgent) discovery should work 🤣
gemini:// and gopher:// -- The search engine crawls both too 😅
@bender@twtxt.net Haha 🤣
@bender@twtxt.net No worries! My version is very similar, but it doesn’t rely on fork/exec out to the git binary.
@bender@twtxt.net It does! Yarn supports both gemini:// and gopher:// – The search engine crawls both too 😅
@bender@twtxt.net What would make standing up Yarn even easier? I can think of a few things that people might struggle with: a Domain, Pointing the domain at something valid, Maybe a reverse proxy setup. Running yarnd itself is just downloading a binary and configuring it (which could also be easier)
@bender@twtxt.net Hmmm I had a look at the Cloudflare Event logs just now, and I couldn’t find anything that was blocked that was a POST hmmm
That is one magnificent dandelion 😳
Maybe fix the nick too. Having a @ in the # nick = field doesn’t work well. It’s a bug in yarnd 🤣
@@texto-plano.xyz Oh this is a Gemini feed. You should update its Avatar, it has none 😅
There is also legit which is probably better than what I’ve done.
web frontend for git
@bender@twtxt.net gitxt probably would do the trick for you 👌 It’s not quite as polished as I’d like, but it works.
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Yeah improvements should roll out much more quickly than I can by hand 🤣
I just think it’s hilarious that y’all say you don’t use Yarn / twtxt.net in one breath, but in the same you say you frequently visited the frontpage of twtxt.net to catch up on stuff 🤣
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Okay, so no “fire hose” 🤔
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Speaking of which, can we make any obvious (low hanging fruit) improvements here? 🤔
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oof ouch! 😱
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Live in a flight path? 🤔
@eapl.me@eapl.me Is self hosting an instance (Yarn or Mastodon) just too hard for most? 🤔 I know standing up ‘as to don is a biatch for sure 🤣
Haha 🤣 No worries! Maune that use-case can move to the search engine / crawler? 🤔
How do we all feel about a “fire hose” front page on https://search.twtxt.net/ ? 🤔
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Thanks!
Whoo! 🥳 I won 2 of my 3 singles tonight! 🏓
@bender@twtxt.net I’ll wait a while before doing something. For now I’ve unfollowed.
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Lovely😅
@bender@twtxt.net Yeah
@bender@twtxt.net GoToSocial is actually great 👍 I’ve run it while testing/devel;ing my first activity pub integration for yarnd I would run it myself permanently, except that I honestly prefer Twtxt and want to keep Yarn.social alive and moving forward (even if slowly).
@bender@twtxt.net Cool 😎
@bender@twtxt.net I guess if you’re going to support the choice of Bulma (and the reason for this Yarn in the first place is I’m pretty rubbish when it comes to UI/UX, so I need all the help I can get! 🤣) – You need to help me understand; Is Bulma a better choice because you see “components” it has that may be useful in a new (say) Yarn 2.0? Or is Picnic CSS enough? 🤔
@bender@twtxt.net @mckinley@twtxt.net If you had to pick between Picnic CSS and Bulma? Which would you choose? 🤔 And why?
Do we have another crack at a Twtxt <-> ActivityPub service?
So… What does a lightweight yarnd 2.0 even look like? Hmm 🧐
Whoo! 😳 We run 5-0 (games) tonight in table-tennis 🎾 My tam mate also won her 2 singles for the first time! 😅 Whoohoo!
@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Like deebs.net
🤔
Wow three different opinions 🤣
@movq@www.uninformativ.de ahahahahah 🤣🤣🤣
@shreyan@twtxt.net True! And I agree 👌
I’m not sure what the plans are anymore 😢 I still love the simplicity of Twtxt too and I’ve always seen this project as more of an “ecosystem”.
Appreciate the positive kind words, but you’re right, “momentum” has died a lot and I don’t have as much spare time or energy as I used to.
@bender@twtxt.net Ouch! 🤣 Was/Is it worth it? 🤔
36/2 = 18 at 25 Twts per page, that's about ~72% of the search/view real estate you're taking up! wow 🤩 -- I'd be very interested to hear what ideas you have to improve this? Those search filters were created so you could sift through either your own Timeline or the Discover view easily.
@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Yup! And to be fair to @dfaria@twtxt.net this is a general problem.
That only works if you’re a user of said pod right? 🤔 Is this going to be the majority of cases or do we have to also worry about anonymous users (and crawlers/bots) where the “Discover” view is essentially the pods front page?
Of the following CSS libraries, which is more appealing to you? 🤔
Maybe some kind of option that when enabled will collapse multiple posts from the same feed and only show the top most recent one, with some kind of UI/UX that indicate “N more today…”?
Is Yarn.social dead or just too niche? (uyrrria) 🧐
I’d also be very interested to hear what some other users of yarnd have to say, sadly there are only a handful of pods around that I’m aware of and/or that peer with my pod (twtxt.net) 😢
Maybe Yarn.social/Twtxt has become boring or too niche? 🤔 Anyway cc @eldersnake@yarn.andrewjvpowell.com @xuu @stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no @abucci@anthony.buc.ci
Another feature as mentioned in #iq4rusa is using filters on the Timeline and/or Discover views. One of the most common “workflows” I use is to go to “Discover” and use the “Without replies” and “Hide my posts” filters to see if there’s anything new and interesting in my pod’s cache I haven’t seen before or maybe could reply to (or not).
Of course as I’ve locked down registrations on my pod anyway (have kept it locked down now for months) due to SPAM accounts and bots just creating rubbish accounts/feeds, this workflow may no longer be all that useful? hmmm 🧐
