Why it’s bad to have a high GDP

by Luke Smith, originally a blog post in November 2018, rewritten for this website.

↳ In-reply-to » @xuu Btw... I noticed your pod has some changed I'm not familiar with, for example you seem to have added metadata to the top of feeds. Can you enumerate the improvements/changes you've made and possibly let's discuss contributing them back upstream? :D

@prologic@twtxt.net the meta info on the top I added manually. it’s following what I have seen from some other twtxt feeds. the new parser will read them.

↳ In-reply-to » I just built a poc search engine / crawler for Twtxt. I managed to crawl this pod (twtxt.net) and a couple of others (sorry @etux and @xuu I used your pods in the tests too!). So far so good. I might keep going with this and see what happens 😀

@prologic@twtxt.net yeah it reads a seed file. I’m using mine. it scans for any mention links and then scans them recursively. it reads from http/s or gopher. i don’t have much of a db yet.. it just writes to disk the feed and checks modified dates.. but I will add a db that has hashs/mentions/subjects and such.
