delightful twtxt

Software, implementations, and developer resources that are related to the twtxt syndication format.

About

twtxt is a decentralised, minimalist publishing service for hackers.

So you want to get some thoughts out on the internet in a convenient and slick way while also following the gibberish of others?

Instead of signing up at a closed or regulated publishing platform, getting your status updates out with twtxt is as easy as putting them in a publicly accessible text file.

The URL pointing to this file is your identity, your account. twtxt then tracks these text files, like a feedreader, and builds your unique timeline out of them, depending on which files you track.

The format is simple, human readable, and integrates well with UNIX command line utilities.
