In-reply-to » @prologic Hello, dear developer, I would like to ask a question: if I have an twtxt.txt document on a website that others can access via internet but cannot modify, is this twtxt.txt document really just acting as a RSS, not even a social network?

@nwu1dm@twtxt.net I think we’re talking about different things. If by “disaster” you mean reading your twtxt.txt (feed) file, then yes, you need to have a “decent” client. There are a few around, not just yarnd.

That being said, you can and are free to create your own client however you wish. jenny for example (which you can find on the landing page at https://yarn.social) treats every Twt as an Email. And then you can use something like mutt to navigate your feeds you follow, replies and your “timeline”.

Does this make sense? – I actually thought you were referring to some scalability problem, but I don’t think you were, you were talking about the UX? Today the best clients that exist are the ones that are listed on Yarn.social. If someone comes up with another client that’s just as compelling (good), we’ll be sure to list it there ! 👌
