plomlompom··on Show HN: htwtxt – hosted twtxt server (written in Go)
Currently, < http://htwtxt.plomlompom.com/ > (HTTP-only so far, will probably look closer into the whole certificate business after the weekend) is my attempt at a public instance: sign-up is open (for now), and I don't plan on eradicating the feeds regularly as I do with < http://test.plomlompom.com:8000 >. But I'm also a bit hesitant to promote this instance aggressively at this early stage of development. I'm happy about anyone testing it by registering, or even by setting up their own instance.
plomlompom··on Show HN: Twtxt – Decentralised, minimalist microblogging service for hackers
Just hacked together a prototype for a hosted twtxt server in Go: http://github.com/plomlompom/htwtxt

This could be used to allow server-less users to login and twt via a browser to URLs hosted by someone running the server. I'm still pretty new to Go and building / setting up web servers, so don't expect too much (expect session/cookie handling to be messy, and security in general to be bad).

I set up a quick testing version at (http) http://test.plomlompom.com:8000/ and (https, bad certificate) https://test.plomlompom.com:8001/ – just for testing and playing around, don't expect anything hosted there to be up for too long.

Should be easy to add metadata by convention inside the messages, appended to them following some kind of control string, like "META". Clients could interpret anything from that string on by rules yet to be defined.

Just improvised something (probably temporary) here: http://test.plomlompom.com/twtxt/account_list.txt
