Write threads
s12chung opened this issue · comments
What’s missing?
I'd like to add the ability to do threads. Threads will follow the format of: https://getchirrapp.com, where the format of a .tweet file is:
Contents of tweet 1, which must have 280 characters.
[...]
Each tweet is delimited by:
- the start/end of a file
- `[...]`
[...]
The start and end of the tweet is also stripped of whitespace.
Why?
I want to tweet threads and I can't do it right now.
Alternatives you tried
None. I can attempt to write the code for this later, but I want to have agreement first.
I really like this idea! Do you need any help on it?
we need to come up with a syntax to cover all the use cases, we had several discussions across issue and pull requests. Maybe someone else came up with a good syntax?
I could imagine to end up with something like Jekyll's Front Matter. I would make the delimiter simpler, but also make it configurable, e.g.
First tweet
---
2nd Tweet
Or with custom delimiter
---
thread-delimiter: ~~~
---
MY first tweet
---
still my first tweet
~~~
My 2nd tweet
I'm hesitant to add any syntax without considering all use cases though, to avoid breaking changes in future
I guess the first step would be to gather all possible use cases that should be covered by a syntax for the .tweet files.
