@bender I taught the whole ecosystem đ
@prologic @eapl.me The question I was asked the most was: How do I discover people?
Someone came up with a fantastic idea, instead of adding the new twt at the end of the feed, do it at the beginning. So you can paginate by cutting the request every few lines.

Twtxt was made for nerds, by nerds.
Iâd like to change that. Itâs by nerds/hackers, for nerds/hackers and friends of these. It doesnât have to be hacky all the time, as you donât need to be a nerd to have a blog.
But, for that to happen, someone has to build the tools to improve UX.by design there really is no way to easily discovers others
Yeah, I agree, and although there are directories of email addresses, usually you donât want that, unless you are a âpublic figureâ.
I couldnât say that a microblogging is a âsocial networkâ by default, as a blog is not either. At the same time, people would expect to find new people and conversations, as youâd do in a forum.
I think of two features on top of the current spec:
- Clients showing a few posts of what your following are watching but you donât, so perhaps you find something interesting to follow next. Or that feature of âYour âfollowingsâ are following these accounts/peopleâ. (Hard to explain in english, but I hope you get the idea)
- Sharing your .txt into some directory, saying âHey, I have this twtxt URL, I want to be discoveredâ. Iâm thinking of something like the Federated tab on Mastodon.
