"Twitter API v2 is official! Everyone use it! ...except if we rejected you almost 4y ago when we first announced it and didn't know what we were doing. Um...we'll be in touch. Someday. Maybe." https://twittercommunity.com/t/ushering-in-a-new-era-for-the-twitter-developer-platform-with-the-twitter-api-v2/162087

At the very least they acknowledged that this is a problem for people and that they *say* they're trying to solve it
#
[snarfed]
yup, they've been saying that (acknowledgement) for a couple yrs now too. hope they figure it out before they forget and turn off my apps altogether 🤷

Should HTTP headers all be sent in one string by a server?
#
capjamesg[d]
Or can they be sent in seperate items?
schmudde joined the channel
#
Seb[d]
capjamesg[d] what do you mean by ‘one string’? The whole HTTP request is just text and the first lines of that are the headers

#
capjamesg[d]
Seb[d] I figured it out.
#
capjamesg[d]
I was thinking does one need to send multiple requests over a socket, one for each header. But yeah, it's just one text object.

I was looking for the 418 but of course this is NOT a teapot
#
capjamesg[d]
418 is not supported. Please refer to the README 😂
#
capjamesg[d]
No teapots allowed!
#
capjamesg[d]
I thought engineering a mechanism for providing a digital teapot would be a bit overboard haha

edgeduchess[d] What are you working on with your site?
#
edgeduchess[d]
it's a indie social network for fandom
#
edgeduchess[d]
it doesn't use decentralized technologies (yet), but I have full intention to swap them out parts of it underneath people as I understand them/the project's direction better
#
edgeduchess[d]
[edit] it doesn't use decentralized technologies (yet), but I have full intention to swap out parts of it underneath people as I understand them/the project's direction better
#
edgeduchess[d]
most generally, the intention is to provide a public "Discord-like community" alternative that feels more like a cross between Reddit, Tumblr and old Forums
#
capjamesg[d]
I just subscribed to your newsletter 🙂
#
edgeduchess[d]
aww thanks!
#
capjamesg[d]
I loved the messaging re: rose-colored nostalgia.
#
[chrisbergr]
Great style! 🙂
#
edgeduchess[d]
I've put a lot of work on it, been running survey on fandom people to understand how they perceive the divide between modern and old web
#
edgeduchess[d]
what they miss and what they don't miss
#
[chrisbergr]
I'm definitely not the target audience thematically, but I like to see pretty pages 😄
#
edgeduchess[d]
eheh makes sense, it's a very specific niche
#
edgeduchess[d]
but the marketing wisdom is that smaller niches are a great starting point, then you expand slowly
#
capjamesg[d]
Yeah. I love the style too. It’s very clear and eye-catching. It’s clear a lot of time has went into it.
#
capjamesg[d]
Yeah. Start small then expand if what you do works.
#
[chrisbergr]
not only in terms of marketing, but also in terms of community building
#
edgeduchess[d]
mhmmh
#
edgeduchess[d]
I quit my cushy big tech job to work full time on it
#
edgeduchess[d]
I'm just about to start expanding it to multiple communities

Seb[d]
ooof. I'm trying to login to my localhost:4000 IndieAuth enabled application with my server on Seblog.nl, and somehow someone does not redirect correctly
#
Seb[d]
more confusing because it's two copies of the same codebase but at two locations.
#
Seb[d]
I should probably respect my timezone and go to bed.
#
Loqi
definitely
#
[chrisbergr]
I guess we're in the same timezone. You are smarter than me 🙂

↩️ I quite like the https://indieweb.org/IndieAuth model, where your personal profile includes all the ways you can identify yourself. Including public/private key pair via PGP/GPG as an option.
