Hello everyone! ๐Ÿ‘‹

After a long while away, Iโ€™m back on twtxt with this new feed.

Some of you might remember me as justamoment@twtxt.net, that was a test account I made for trying things out, but I ended up keeping it more than planned.

I also tried other social platforms in search of a place that felt right for me.

In the end twtxt was the one that ticked all of my boxes:

  • Slow social: it act more like a feed reader and I really appreciate that thereโ€™s no flood of content that I canโ€™t keep up with.
  • No server needed: I absolutely love to have total control over my content, I tend to avoid having moving parts that might break, plus you can put your feed under version control and itโ€™s all backed up.
  • Ownership: I can put my feed anywhere I want and nobody can decide if I can access it or not.
  • For hackers: a single .txt file allows me to join a community, how cool is that!

This is why I decided to build my own twtxt client, one that allows you to decide how the feed is presented on your โ€œinstanceโ€.

Itโ€™s still in the making but Iโ€™ll try to share a bit of it once I defined how things should work.

Coincidentally, I discovered that @itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com and @zvava@twtxt.net were also building a twtxt client, seems like twtxt is set to grow!
