twtxt.net v0.1.0 Release Notes
Release Date: 2020-08-18 // over 3 years ago-
π± twtxt v0.1.0 -- 3 Pods, 100+ Users, 1500+ Posts, 1M hits! π
WOW! π² What a week it has been! We don't seem to be increasing in user count (at least on the first pod twtxt.net) but that's okay! We have exciting news! We've now launched our fully-managed 1-click pods. What's a pod you say? Well we launched the first instance of prologic/twtxt a little over a month ago now over at twtxt.net (the first pod).
π± As of the 15th Aug 2020 we now offer hosted, fully managed 1-click pods. Check it out over at Twt.social. π
π± We invite anyone to get in touch and become one of the first few to have their own pod, their own little place on the micro-Blogging Web π This is invite-only at this time, but in the near future we will generally open this up for all. π€
On to the highlights!
Highlights
- π NEW: WebMention! That's right! We added support for WebMentions generically as well as between users across different pods. οΌ (more on this later)
- π NEW: Configurable Timezone settings. You can now display the date/time of twts in your timeline in the timezone of your choice! β±
- π NEW: Monitoring and Metrics! We. now have a
/metricsendpoint for monitoring pods via Prometheus π’ - π NEW: External feeds are now display inline as if they were any other normal feed. No more ugly "text" view! π°
- π NEW: Permalinks! You can now link to specific twts by their permalink (the date/time link)! βΎ
