twtxt is a decentralised, minimalist microblogging 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 and/or regulated
microblogging 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.
