@doesnm@doesnm.p.psf.lt How did you post from IndiePass? Did you add support for twtxt or use some kind of bridge?

I’ve implemented Use only nick as handle if nick and domain is the same · sorenpeter/timeline@8c12444

See it live at:

• nick = domain: https://darch.dk/timeline/profile?url=https://eapl.me/tw.txt
  
• nick ≠ domain: https://darch.dk/timeline/profile?url=https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt
  
• no nick, use domain: https://darch.dk/timeline/profile?url=https://akkartik.name/twtxt.txt
  

I’m not sure I like the leading @ thou…

What should the advantage be to nick = _compared to just not defining a nick and let the client use the domain as the handle?

What is not intuitive is that you put something in the nick field that is not to be taken literary. The special meaning of _ is only clean if you read the documentation, compared to having something in nick that makes sense in the current context of the twtxt.txt.

@doesnm@doesnm.p.psf.lt So the user should then set nick = _@domain.tld in the twtxt.txt?

It seems more intuitive and userfriendly to just use: nick = domain.tld and have then convention for clients to render the handle as @domain.tld instead of @domain.tld@domain.tld

For a feed with no nick defined (eg. https://akkartik.name/twtxt.txt) it will also be simpler and make more sense to just use the domain as the nick and render it as @domain.tld

and going back to a handle you could input in your client to look for the user/file, like @nick@domain.tls I think Webfinger is the way to go. It has enough information to know where to find that nick’s URL.

@prologic@twtxt.net does that webfinger fork made by darch work OK with yarn as it is now? (I’ve never used it, so I’m researching about it)
https://darch.dk/.well-known/webfinger/

I’m just having a similar issue with a podcast I just uploaded on Castopod (which supports ActivityPub).

My first thought was creating a subdomain with the name of the podcast mordiscos.eapl.me

Then I watched that the software allows many podcasts in the same domain, so I had to pick a handle:
https://mordiscos.eapl.me/@podcast

So now I have @podcast@mordiscos.eapl.me when this one is ‘more correct’ @mordiscos@podcast.eapl.me or it could even be @mordiscos.eapl.me
I wasn’t aware of all that when I setup Castopod (documentation might improve a lot, IMO)

My point here is that it’s something important to think from the start, otherwise is painful to change if it’s already being used like that.

[LTH] [Bounty] [10 XMR] Apple Developer ID certificate and notarization for Feather Wallet

To continue supporting macOS, Feather Wallet is looking for an organization or individual to provide us with the ability to code-sign and notarize the application. We are not looking to publish Feather Wallet on the App Store - We will only distribute verifiably reproducible releases

I think we could discuss on implementation details like URLs and Handles.

@nick@nick (Masto/Yarn style)
vs
@nick.eapl.me and @eapl.me (Bsky style)

I see, for example, that yarn shows my account as @eapl.me@eapl.me which looks ‘weird’ although it’s not wrong since my domain and my nick are the same. Honestly I like more the Bsky approach as in https://bsky.app/profile/eapl.me for @eapl.me, as when you look for https://eapl.me, it’s my home page.

Also, I didn’t get it completely if you are also proposing a URL standard using subdomains, like https://nick.domain.tls. I only want to point out that these are more difficult to handle from shared hostings, so I’d prefer to also allow https://domain.tls/nick/

@xuu @txt.sour.is FWIW I do agre with you here. I think we should (Twtxt) agree to just use WebFinger and call it a day. It would solve so many problems. ⌘ Read more

since twtxt is based on text files, I think you can consider @domain.tld as an alias of http://domain.com/twtxt.txt (or https://domain.com/tw.txt, among other combinations in the wild).

Or perhaps you can use DNS TXT records?
Although I think that’s a bit more complicated for some environments and users, I’d go with looking for a default /tw*.txt

One benefit with bluesky is your username is also a website. And not a clunky URL with slashes and such. I wish twtxt adopted that. I have advocated for webfinger to for twtxt to let us do something like it with usernames. Nostr has something like it

By default the bsky.social urls all redirect to their feeds like: hmpxvt.bsky.social
Many custom urls will redirect to some kind of linktree or just their feed cwebonline.com or la.bonne.petite.sour.is or if you are a major outlet just to your web presence like https://theonion.com‬ or https://netflix.com

Its just good SEO practice

Do all nostr addresses take you to the person if typed into a browser? That is the secret sauce.
No having to go to some random page first. no accounts. no apps to install. just direct to the person.
