I just typed out a message here on Yarn, undid a few things with ctrl+z, and then tried to redo something with the vi redo key combination. That means it’s time to go to bed.

I noticed some unnecessary horizontal rules being rendered at the bottom of twts in the conversation view lately with yarnd's new design change. They can be seen at least when not being logged in. Not sure if it is the same experience with an active user session. I reckon there will be fork buttons then, so in that case they would be fine, indeed.

@prologic@twtxt.net Markdown horizontal rules never worked on the Web client, as far as I know.
@darch@twtxt.net, I think that specific line had a use as a visual separator between the non-interactive text and the interactive buttons, but it’s not a hill I’m willing to die on.

@prologic@twtxt.net @darch@twtxt.net It looks like the horizontal rules are completely gone, though. I thought they looked nice…

@mckinley Cool! 👌 So... Let's nuke it? 🤔 Are you thinking of writing a new spec?
⤋ Read More
@prologic@twtxt.net Yes, I’ve been thinking of writing a new, unambiguous version of the original spec with some small changes to bring it in line with how feeds are actually being constructed in the wild. The comment syntax, for example, but not the Yarn extensions.
Is there community interest for such a thing?

Ah, cnbeta-com-rssding-yue.txt is hosted on feeds.twtxt.cc which isn’t blacklisted like feeds.twtxt.net is.

Outside of this thread, this comment syntax has been used exactly twice when searching every known, currently accessible twtxt feed on the Web.

Here are the top ten feeds by size. @prologic@twtxt.net is artificially low on the list because it’s separated into chunks, and @movq@www.uninformativ.de is listed twice. Once as www.uninformativ.de, once as uninformativ.de. I blame yarnd.

cnbeta-com-rssding-yue.txt seems to be a syndication feed for https://cnbeta.com/ in twtxt format, assets.txt is @maya@maya.land, and the rest are fairly self-explanatory.

@tkanos@twtxt.net Thank you very much. I thought a collection of every twtxt feed would weigh more than 14 MiB uncompressed.

@tkanos@twtxt.net, do you have a dump of all the twtxt feeds from doing we-are-twtxt? If so, could you please upload a tarball somewhere or send me a magnet link? I want to grep it for this crazy mention syntax.

For people using clients other than yarnd, does that appear as a valid mention? It’s valid according to the spec but I’ve never seen it in use anywhere.
Mentions are embedded within the text in either
@<source.nick source.url>or@<source.url>format and should be expanded by the client, when rendering the tweets.
