Twtxt is a decentralised, minimalist microblogging service for hackers.
This script is to let people follow you without having to use a twtxt client. A simple RSS/ATOM newsreader is ok.
First, I was using an AWK script written by prx:
This shell script depends on GNU AWK and on sha256 (bsd) or sha256sum (linux). I wanted to make it depends on only one thing: perl without any modules ;)
Moreover, I wanted to use a configuration file to make it easier for everyone.
So, the script is hosted on a GIT repository:
You can clone it:
git clone https://codeberg.org/fredg/twtfeed.git
Or download the tarball:
wget -c https://codeberg.org/fredg/twtfeed/raw/branch/master/twtfeed-0.2.tar.gz
Then the installation is simple. In the twtfeed folder, run:
sudo make install
This will install the script and the man page. To use it, you will have
to copy the twtfeed.cfg config file in $HOME/.config/twtfeed/twtfeed.cfg.
Fil the variables to fit your need:
#
# twtfeed configuration file
#
# Author's name
$nick = "Tom Marvolo Riddle";
# Link to your online twtxt file
$url = "https://the.chamber.of.secret/twtxt.atom";
# The ATOM feed title
$title = "Avada Kedavra";
# where is your local twtxt.txt file
$twtfile = "$PATH/to/twtxt.txt";
# where is your local twtxt.atom file
$feedfile = "$PATH/to/twtxt.atom";
Run 'twtfeed' and voilà!
