don't mind the glaring light mode i just think the pink looks pretty. this "desktop mode" is just a bunch of css repurposing the sidebar into the taskbar, but the file manager and its supporting code is proving a very fun endeavour. my favorite part is u can just turn javascript off and it functions like a regular website with nothing suspicious about it at all

@bender @alexonit funnily enough i came up with the idea for a banner field when i started working on bbycll too (though i still need to implement avatar uploads themselves first)

@prologic i'm guessing then a HEAD request is sent every 5m, and then the feed is fetched if the headers are different?

also what would be the cases where a feed would be fetched more than every five minutes? :o

@itsericwoodward @bender this is vaguely concerning...does yarn refresh feeds every minute or two? or is there some special "notify twtxt.net to refresh my feed" that i don't know about

@alexonit i dont think display_name is worthwhile, since nick is functionally a display name

@lyse i would like to ditch hash addressing but as was pointed out it would be a pain in the ass to get clients currently working off of hashv1 to suddenly switch to location-based addressing instead of just hashv2 with the option to eventually phase it out — unless we can rally together all active client developers to decide on a location-based addressing specification (i still think my original suggestion of #<https://example.com/tw.txt#yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ssZ> is foolproof)

@bender technically it's still the same, but the brackets are different, and the # symbol is on the outside of the brackets, but it makes more sense with @<...> being mentions

@movq huh, firefox actually does seem to tolerate the dashes in the fragment. also, i did propose simply using an anchor link first, but prologic was not a fan of this :p

@alexonit prologic has me sold on the idea of hashv2 being served alongside a text fragment, eg. (#abcdefghijkl https://example.com/tw.txt#:~:text=2025-10-01T10:28:00Z), because it can be simply hacked in to clients currently on hashv1 and provides an off-ramp to location-based addressing (though i still think the format should be changed to smth like #<abc... http://example.com/...> so it's cleaner once we finally drop hashes)

@rnlog bbycll, whenever it is ready, in the meantime you're already on a pretty good one :3
