Tilde Social is a flat-file social network intended to be used on shared tilde servers (like tilde.town).
All of your data is contained in your home directory, and others read your files to display information.
When you initialize an account, you will have the following in your ~/.social directory:
- config - profile information
- following - list of users you are following
- posts - list of posts you've published
The network is interacted with via a single python script. On tilde.town it is globally linked as timeline
.
You can use the following commands (example: timeline feed
):
init
- To create a new profile, it will ask you a few questions and generate files for youusers
- View a list of users who have a profilefeed
- View a feed of users you followlocal
- View a feed of all usersme
- View your profilefollowing
- View a list of users you followfollowers
- View a list of users who follow youmentions
- View a list of posts you're mentioned inpost Message to post
- Post a new message, everything in the quotes will be postedfollow username
- Follow a userunfollow username
- Unfollow a userfollowing username
- View a list of users another uesr is followingfollowers username
- View a list of users who follow a user
Here are some features I'd like to add in the future if there is enough people using it:
- Require posts to be in quotes
- Allow commands with usernames to have tildes
- Make post ineractive "timeline post" and then a prompt for the text
- Add following and follows you to profiles
- Deleting a post from the CLI
- Boosting
- Replies
- View a specific post thread
- Hashtag support
- Limit feed and local with a number, such as "timeline local 5"
- A more interactive tui application
- Statically generated html files for use in the browser?
- Remote following users on other tildes?
