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.
