getwtxt-ng

twtxt registry

twtxt is a decentralized microblogging platform for hackers based on text files. The user is "followed" and "mentioned" by referencing the URL to their twtxt.txt file and a nickname.

Registries are designed to aggregate several users' statuses into a single location, facilitating the discovery of new users to follow and allowing the search of statuses for tags and key words.

getwtxt-ng expands on the original registry specification by providing both plain and JSON endpoints.
