I made a mistake in the code at one point and accidentally nuked all feeds ๐Ÿ˜ข It won't happen again!

That is to rename the active `twtxt.txt` file to `twtxt-.txt`. I would implement the exact same behaviour for [twtxt.net](https://twtxt.net)'s backend too. Thoughts? 2020-07-30T06:37:34Z @ @ (re archive) Yeah I _think_ we should stick to the same conventions. Speaking of which, at some point I'm going to start thinking about taking over the twtxt Spec and adding to it over time (_with joint efforts/discussions with the community of course_). 2020-07-30T06:38:45Z @ @ (re archive) I had a discussion with @ about old feeds and basically the consensus was that as humans we probably don't really care too much about things older than ~6 months or so. We can just auto-archive old feeds here on [twtxt.net](https://twtxt.net). Easy. 2020-07-30T06:39:53Z @ @ (re archive) Users in the wider community of course are welcome to make old twtxt feeds available as feeds of them own if they wish. No-one is forced to fetch them of course. Can do the same here too. 2020-07-30T07:41:35Z @ (re archive) Let's file an [Issue](https://github.com/prologic/twtxt/issues/new) and discuss this in more detail there? (cc @) My gut instinct tells me to just archive old feeds out with a `[.-][0-9]{4,6}` suffix... 2020-07-30T07:42:32Z @ (re archive) And leave it up to Users to continue to "Host" the old feed if they wish. This _may_ also happen similarly on [twtxt.net](https://twtxt.net) as well and may be backend configurable and/or user controlled settings. 2020-07-30T07:43:29Z @ (re Mars Rover and your name?!)

Discovery as it turns out is "quite hard". And IHMO (_and I could be wrong here_); but I don't think Mastodon has done a better job of that. We (twtxt.net) plan to try to solve this in new and interesting ways for sure! The fact that [twtxt.net](https://twtxt.net) already knows how to pull in external feed sources under [/feeds](https://twtxt.net/feeds) already helps immensely. As well each pod's local timeline gets a special @ feed that is another way ti discover either new users, feeds or who's following who. Important subtle differences ! 2020-08-06T15:13:29Z @ (re Mastodon) Oh that's cool! I guess the moment you started following me at my Mastodon URI my server instance nows knows about the one you're one and I could find you in the "Profile Directory" and follow you back. 2020-08-06T21:09:01Z @ Yup thatโ€™s the plan 2020-08-06T21:46:26Z ๐Ÿฅฑ Good Morning World! ๐Ÿ‘‹ 2020-08-06T23:32:11Z @ API has been refactored a bit, tested a fair bit this morning, with bugs fixes. Updated the docs at https://dev.twtxt.net/ 2020-08-07T00:14:52Z @ I wonder who's going to make the 1,000th Twtโ‰๏ธ ๐Ÿค” ๐Ÿคฃ 2020-08-07T00:19:17Z @ Why hello there! ๐Ÿ‘‹ I didn't notice you had signed up and posted your first Twt this morning (_for me anyway_) in my half-asleep uncaffinated state of mind ๐Ÿคฃ -- Welcome to [twtxt.net](https://twtxt.net) โ•Check out [/feeds](https://twtxt.net/feeds) for interesting users and feeds to follow. Also consider following @ for daily stats on this Pod and @ for internal events where you can also discover new users! Feel free to tag me @ or @ if you have any q's. Enjoy! ๐Ÿ˜Ž 2020-08-07T00:22:01Z @ (re API) Also building a CLI (_UNIX style_) client as well that uses the same API. This will take inspiration from [twet](https://github.com/quite/twet) (_and others maybe_), but I want it to be as simple to use as `echo "Hello World" | twt` ๐Ÿ˜Ž 2020-08-07T00:28:56Z @ (re CLI UNIX style) Not quite sure what you mean exactly... Bad clients, abuses? We _should_ definitely rate limit it. 2020-08-07T00:42:11Z @ (re API keys / limits) Ahh yes I see what you mean. This is more compliated, but doable. I _believe_ what you are referring to is what we fall Application/Device tokens. I _think_ OAuth does this by design if I'm not mistaken. I _would_ just implement OAuth if I was actually familiar enough in "implemtnation detail" (_I understand the flows_); but anyway, maybe someone can come along and refactor API auth and/or add OAuth. Can you write up an issue re App tokens? I _think_ we'd need them to be "Pod Operator" managed? ๐Ÿค” 2020-08-07T00:42:45Z @ @ (re Feed Avatars) Yes! This is just a missing enhancement. It will/should be done :) 2020-08-07T01:33:31Z @ (re API keys / limits) Yeah that's kind of my point. I _think_ we can easily limit API reqest rates at an individual pod level, an operator is also free to put further measures in place of course at their network level, and our own hosted offering will also have similar infra. The other thing to think about is to make req/res as cheap as possible to limit the impact of an attack. All important factors. Of course having it behind Cloudflare also helps :D 2020-08-07T01:33:45Z @ You work too much! 2020-08-07T03:10:56Z ๐Ÿ˜ฒ This pod ([twtxt.net](https://twtxt.net) has _almost_ reached 0.5M hits over the past month! ๐Ÿ˜ณ ![](https://twtxt.net/media/UrjA8SS8y9S9SvYzKEsRB5.png) ![](https://twtxt.net/media/tnaSStB4EQkq4vuoXtsDpG.png) ![](https://twtxt.net/media/VyZz93P9pASmeKpSyPKGcb.png) 2020-08-07T04:11:47Z @ Hi! ๐Ÿ‘‹ Welcome to [twtxt.net](https://twtxt.net) ๐Ÿค— So glad you can join our growing twtxt community! ๐Ÿ™‡โ€โ™‚๏ธ Check out [/feeds](https://twtxt.net/feeds) for interesting external users and feeds to follow!

I choose to build this platform in certain ways that **ensure** that folks on old machines with old software, in areas of the world with poor Internet access/coverage can access a free, open an uncompressed "social network". @ happens to be one such user that uses an older machine with Windows and IE. Why should I build a platform that isn't inclusive to as many folks as possible that is as performant and light on network as possible? I agree, there is a _balance_; but no one person should suffer just because... ๐Ÿค” 2020-08-08T11:57:11Z @ (re Android App) Oh wonderful! You should probably join our development team then !

I'm _thinking_ ๐Ÿค” about how we will build out so-called "Federation" features between [twtxt.net](https://twtxt.net) pods, and ultimately a network of them. My current set of ideas is to build notifications of "User A on Pod X mentioned User B on Pod Y" and "User A on Pod X started following User B on Pod Y" as [twtxt](https://twtxt.readthedocs.org) feeds themselves that are "polled" periodically. This has the benefit of allowing _anyone_ or _anything_ to also implement the same features, but the downside of not being "real-time". Thoughts? ๐Ÿ‘ˆ 2020-08-12T00:45:30Z @ (re bed rest) What about [Plex.tv](https://www.plex.tv/en-au/) ๐Ÿ˜€ 2020-08-12T01:06:10Z ![](https://twtxt.net/media/v8hwVx9ToYhXkYySjK79vg.png) Only Petrol Station in Australia that fills up your car for you! # ๐Ÿค— 2020-08-12T02:10:36Z @ (re Federation) Yeah that could work for sure ! 2020-08-12T02:14:30Z Beat local Cafรฉ โ€” Cafe Bliss, Kenmore Village ![](https://twtxt.net/media/Mgwxgx3hyM4chUWXWM8YGm.png) 2020-08-12T03:45:19Z @ (re Federation) I _think_... There are two choices here; a) We do some kind of [WebMention](https://indieweb.org/Webmention) "think" (_haven't looked into this too closely yet..._) b) Some kind of "Web Hook" pushes to other pods or c) A "poll" based approach that is basically just a special type of feed between pods. I kind of personally like the simplicity of the later (c) as it means anyone can just periodically check for new followers by just say `curl`(ing) the feed. OTOH it _might_ be better to do some WebMention/WebHook thing in a simple way? 2020-08-12T03:45:44Z @ (re bed rest) You're welcome! 2020-08-12T03:47:10Z @ Which one?

How would it know how to identify you so you can "manipulate" your feed? Is there an issue with having to have an account? Do you want support for say OAuth/OpenID or IndieAuth or something? 2020-08-12T21:13:51Z Yes the Mozilla thing is a bit of a worry. I worry about the Open Web too; but from a "technical" perspective I _believe_ it can never be destroyed. Fundamentally I'm not convinced you can really centralise or control something that isn't really a tangible thing, "Internet". But I would support Mozilla too; just like I support Wikipedia every year. 2020-08-12T21:17:42Z @ (re Twt edits) Yes. This is one reason why the Web Interface doesn't behave like this, it just shows the last N twts and allows you to pages through them. Perhaps the Mobile App can do this too? As you scroll down past the last item it'll just add a `?p=N` to the API call? 2020-08-12T22:26:19Z @ (re Twt edits) Yeah I get that. So _thinking_ here based on my experience adding new features to and fixing bugs for @'s [twet](https://github.com/quite/twet) a while back; If you build a cache client-side (_look at the implementation on twtxt.net for how this is done, maybe I should document it at https://dev.twtxt.net ?_); if you sent me the `CacheLastModified` timestamp we could compare that with the backend API's `CacheLastModified` timestamp too right? 2020-08-13T00:35:04Z ![](https://twtxt.net/media/jVfLJ75V2zao8uuFyFSQ2N.png) Our dog when he was just a wee pup!

My wife makes this awesome roast potatoes which I just the most delicious thing really they are ๐Ÿ‘Œ 2020-08-28T06:11:10Z @ (re Replies) So... Let me answer properly now. We _think_ we can do this in a way that doesn't break the `twtxt.txt` spec that we use. The basic idea would be to reference the `In-Reply-To` Twt by its Hash. The UI (_the web app in this case_) can then group twts by that hash and _slightly_ indent them or show them in a single group/thread. This is the basic idea anyway. To other non-Twtxt.net/Twt.social users it would just appear as `\t(re #) ...\n` where `#` is a 7-character hash of the original Twt being replied to. 2020-08-28T06:12:03Z @ @ I _believe_ its a "curated" Hacker News ๐Ÿ˜› 2020-08-28T06:13:14Z @ (re wrap-up) Me too!

I _never_ considered [Micro.blog](https://micro.blog) to be a "walled garden", but now that you mention it I can see why you say that, _and_ I agree. After a few weeks of my joining I also noticed that the so-called "Timeline" just became full of "curated" posts that are "managed" / "controlled" by a few small no. of "community managers". This in and of itself can lead to bias and all the pitfalls that comes with. 2020-08-29T08:28:32Z @ (re Walled gardens in disguise) I _will_ likely continue to use Micro.blog for the foreseeable future mostly just as a way to write "blog posts" as I find it rather nice for _that specific purpose_; However my old man and I were chatting today about what I've built here on [Twtxt.net](https://twtxt.net) and _we_ think we can extend the platform (_it would go outside the `twtxt.txt` format/spec slightly_) and also support long-form / blog posts as well. In fact it _might_ even be a nice "marriage" of the two forms if we do it right! 2020-08-29T08:29:28Z @ @ And I _can_ read/download these fore FREE?
