I've been playing around with gopher and twtxt and I can see how the two
fit together.
twtxt is a social media protocol where status updates are made to a
minimally formatted text file hosted on the user's own web space.
Clients exist that create the file and do some other functions like
keeping track of followed twtxt uses. Its a social media platform where
updates are passed around in text files. You get updates from people you
follow by basically running curl.
The format of twtxt.txt is just an RFC-3339 compliant date and
time string followed by your text, all on one line. Your timeline is
always available in a comparatively compact text file.
I wrote my own homebrew client in about eight lines of bash. It just
appends the input to my file. You could use echo if you wanted.
I was hosting the file on my sdf webspace but I've decided to move it to
gopher. A simple text file seems more suited to that environment.
