In plain words

Twtxt is a self-hosted, decentralized alternative to Twitter that developers can set up independently. Rather than relying on a central platform, users run their own instances to post and share short messages. It is designed for those who want to participate in a Twitter-like social network while maintaining control over their own data and infrastructure. The project is available as open-source software on GitHub.

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
