-TTBP MANIFESTO
---------------
-ttbp: tilde town blogging platform; also known as THE FEELS ENGINE
-
-a history:
-
-  in april 2016, i read a short rant by ~minerobber lamenting the lack of cli
-  blogging software. this struck a chord with me; years ago, i kludged myself a
-  perl script that generated an html blog, complete with an rss feed and a
-  crude tagging system. i've known other people who have done the same. what's
-  missing, though?
-
-  years ago, i peeled away from livejournal and related web-based blogging
-  networks; partially as a participant in the general attrition, and partially
-  to escape some personal bad feelings that i coudn't quite put a finger on.
-  this is why i started writing on an independent, solo blog; i still had the
-  urge to publicly share some of my journaling. but it felt lonely.
-
-  this is what happens when i log in to a unix box: i reattach my screens, and
-  flip through irc to catch up on chat, and alpine to check my mail. in the
-  past, on non-tilde machines, i've fired up zephyr to message friends. i git
-  pull my repos for updates. i check the nethack leaderboard. these are all
-  cli-based actions, but they are also based on the idea that when i wasn't
-  looking, things changed. those things changed because other people performed
-  some actions of their own. i catch up on these updates with the implicit
-  acknowledgement that other humans exist and do things in my environment.
-
-  this is what i realized i missed from running my own clumsy blog scripts. i
-  had ways to chat, mail, and collaborate on text-based projects through the
-  terminal, but nothing that served as a central hub for journal-writing.
-
-  i didn't think of myself as a strong programmer or a skilled developer, but i
-  had a few ideas that i thought i could try out. on april 29th, 2016, i put
-  out a general call in irc for people to run ~endorphant/bin/ttbp; ~sl2c
-  confirmed that it worked. on may 2nd, 2016, i opened it up again, and others
-  jumped in; ~sanqui, ~karlen, ~varscite, ~vilmibm, ~insom, ~marcus, ~nossidge,
-  ~jumblesale, ~krowbar. others trickled in; people sent me crash reports,
-  wrote to me about mysterious behaviors, lamented about broken settings when i
-  pushed code updates, shared with me how this fulfilled their nostalgia for an
-  experience that i personally never had, complained about lacking features
-  they wanted, yelled with delight about the interface, filled it with feelings
-  they didn't know how to express.
-
-  it's now december 4th, 2016, and there are 42 users on ttbp. some of them
-  have never posted, many of them i've never spoken to. there are 581 entries,
-  which is an average of almost 14 entries per user, and a little over two and
-  a half entries per day. it now takes 11 seconds to load the global feed
-  because i implemented it sloppily, thinking i'd handle scaling issues later.
-
-  i've loved every second of this. i'm humbled and pleased and a little
-  terrified at the trust and appreciation and responsibility that's been given
-  to me in the past seven months.
