3 A more-unixy [twtxt](https://github.com/buckket/twtxt) client.

7 Doesn't force you to maintain a master "following" file (the way Twitter does),
8 but let's you point it to any follow-file every time it runs.
10 This means unlimited possibilities for ad-hoc, interesting filtering
11 combinations. Especially when paired with
12 [process substitution](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Process_substitution).

30 - Void Linux: `xbps-install racket`
31 - Debian: `apt install racket`
34 `make build && make install` will build and copy `tt` binary into `$PREFIX/bin`.
37 Put your `<nick>` and `<uri>` into `~/.tt/me`. For example, mine is:
41 xandkar https://xandkar.net/twtxt.txt
43 It will be used to fill the `User-Agent` header, so that others can tell you're
44 reading their twtxts and perhaps read yours. This isn't strictly necessary and
45 if omitted, you'll stay anonymous.
48 Download feeds from the Internet:
54 `FOLLOW-FILE` contains lines with space-separated nick and twtxt.txt URI, like:
57 xandkar https://xandkar.net/twtxt.txt
60 See the rest of the usage options:
70 Downloaded timelines are stored in `~/.tt/cache/<SHA1_OF_URI>`, but no attempt
71 is made to preserve the previously-downloaded messages - each download
72 overrites the previous. One of the implications is that authors can edit/delete
73 history without you noticing.
