Just added support for deleting and editing arbitrary Twt(s) at anypoint in your timeline. Some things to note:

  • I’m not really that happy with the code between PostHandler() and DeleteTwtHandler() anymore 😢 It really needs some major refactoring, and better tests.
  • This only works for users (for now), no support for Persona(s) / Feeds sorry.

One side-effect I’ve noticed (which was always the case); an Edited Twt whilst preserves the original timestamp, gets appended to your feed at the bottom of the file. This is counter intuitive when you think about editing text files with a text editor, but it does make sense in the way yarnd treats feeds as append-only (I had just forgotten). I’m not doing anything about this though.

@prologic@twtxt.net what is the side effect of this for others not using Yarn? Right now conversations break upon editing, wouldn’t this potentially cause more havoc? Wouldn’t the specification need to be extended somehow to force a refresh of any edited twtxt?
