(#4jk6bba) @bender You're probably right. We'll do our best to explain how things work 🤞

@prologic Hello, dear developer, I would like to ask a question: if I have an twtxt.txt document on a website that others can access via internet but cannot modify, is this twtxt.txt document really just acting as a RSS, not even a social network?

(#4jk6bba) @prologic OK, I'm understanding this way of using twtxt. I had followed "prologic then I could read twtxt timeline. When I need to reply to you, I need to @prologic in my txt file and then say something. After that, you would refresh the timeline in your txt file to see my reply. But when I have thousands of friends who follow each other, it will be a disaster.

@prologic @nwu1dm (#4jk6bba) well, a twtxt file only you can modify and nobody else *is* what twtxt is all about.

(#4jk6bba) @prologic Traditionally, I can read timeline line by line. In addition, I can also use some Linux scripts to classify user text. Either way is very painful. I think this is also the reason why yarn "front-end" appears.

(#4jk6bba) @nwu1dm I _think_ we're talking about different things. If by "disaster" you mean reading your `twtxt.txt` (feed) file, then yes, you need to have a "decent" client. There are a few around, not just `yarnd`. That being said, you can and are free to create your own client however you wish. `jenny` for example (which you can find on the landing page at ) treats every Twt as an Email. And then you can use something like `mutt` to navigate your feeds you follow, replies and your "timeline". Does this make sense? -- I _actually_ thought you were referring to some scalability problem, but I don't think you were, you were talking about the UX? Today the best clients that exist are the ones that are listed on Yarn.social. If someone comes up with another client that's just as compelling (good), we'll be sure to list it there ! 👌

(#4jk6bba) @nwu1dm What's your use-case? 🤔

(#4jk6bba) @prologic Thank you for your answer. I really like the feature of twtxt, which is complete control of my social data (that is, txt). I don't think UI/UX is the main problem. CLI clients is the best UX, simple and fast. And what is the direction of development in the future? In the context of a complete P2P network, how to find other users, that is to say, to play the function of social networks? For example, in the case of a single user instance of Mastondon, other users can be seen in the global interface.

(#4jk6bba) I think OP is trying to understand how twtxt works. There is a language barrier, but I think that’s what he is asking.

(#4jk6bba) Even as a user on my multi-user pod (twtxt.net) you are free to do what you want, and even host your feed in multiple places just as @marado does, and I believe takes advantage of the `yarnc sync` tool and api 👌
