(#mcoz7za) I wonder how niche the market would actually be? I feel like half the people I know would love a phone that didnāt mean either selling your soul to the worldās biggest advertising company or being locked into an expensive walled garden by the worldās most profitable brand.
@prologic@twtxt.net Iām not so sure thereād be a lack of good apps, I donāt think the situation on the desktop translates well to mobile. Google is pushing flutter pretty hard for mobile and itās getting pretty good adoption, and itās inherently cross-platform - Canonical are even using it for desktop apps.
(#bxxbuya) @prologic@twtxt.net this is where my interests lie. small and tight-knit communities that are decoupled from centralised systems. iāve always thought that every human should have their own corner of the internet. or perhaps iāve watched too much johnny mnemonic. i read the history of yarn and it aligns.
i may or may not have at one time worked at one of these big giants
(#aqsrxaa) @prologic@twtxt.net if this is something youād be open to a pull-request on, i can likely make it work. iāve torified some complex things before. will give this a shot!
(#bxxbuya) @david@netbros.com well said. iāll set one up thatās open to registration but will use it as my primary pod. time to get busy this evening!
(#djb7lbq) @adi@twtxt.net thanks! do you also run envs? i saw their tilde and ecosystem which inspired me to start building my own. so great to see some legacy patterns coming back into play
i really love the idea of yarn.social. this is encouraging me to start my own pod. perhaps some of my connections might join. itās a clever way of doing things compared to say fediverse or ssb
(#djb7lbq) @adi@twtxt.net what i like about it so far is that itās just generating html without any esoteric bells and whistles. now if i could take a course in css and html. iām an old backend engineer who cannot draw stick figures :)
@prologic@twtxt.net just stumbled on this project and itās really great. iām curious to know if youāve successfully put this behind a tor gateway as an alternative means of connectivity. also interested in the flutter app for android.

I think the hacky footnotes broke the timeline too. Letās see what shows now. The timeline was filled of own posts, so maybe the cache simply expired? We will find out now.
Testing to see how footnotes1 work here, if they do at all. It is very hacky, and I am sure it will render like crap on any other twtxt client, but it does the job on Yarn.
(#nswpp4a) @prologic@twtxt.net Hi š Good to see you again! In general things are good, a little tired of the covid restrictions and I am insanely upset by the global chip shortage because of this good computer hardware becomes less available + the ruble exchange rate is storming.
How about you, whatās new? I periodically glance over here at twtxt )
