There's a new announcement from the #supertxt team about their WebAssembly offering: wanine. It's a runtime that can run web assembly binaries over ssh, and has an experimental gui that runs outside of a web browser, and via a shiny filesystem like #plan9.

This is pretty cool.
I've been doing some experimentation with a new command called "cats" that works in the unix shell. Check out my latest video on the topic.
I just discovered the @charmcli ecosystem, which is based on CLI and SSH tech. With impressive richness there, including a TUI git hosting called SoftServe. https://charm.sh
Because it's based on SSH I can configure my identity management and trust in the same way that I do with #supertxt . https://supertxt.net
It's so great to see SSH-based tech coming up as a viable alternative to the web. #postweb
I wonder what @FroehlichMarcel thinks of the semantics of #supertxt. It seems to be based on Gemini notation.
I love how #supertxt doesn’t try to load too much onto the file format. There are portals to other formats via preformatted blocks for things like tabular data instead of forcing a table primitive. Instead, we get to choose what sort of readability tradeoff we want with csv, tsv and ltsv.org. In the world of semantics a similar choice was made.
The #supertxt website went through a minor transformation over the weekend. There's some notable differences in the browsing guide, and hosting. Also, there's a new guide on using semantics, much lighter weight than RDF, and I think more readable too.
Supertxt has emoji support now in the brsh. This should make things a bit more fun. 🎩
What I find really interesting about supertxt is that since the source code form is nearly as readable as the rendered form I can use it virtually anywhere as markup as long as the system doesn't muck too much with my input.
I've tried it in these places so far:
* Mastodon
* Twitter
* YouTube
* Vim
* Acme

Or from your terminal.
``` .sh
ssh [email protected]
```
@nixCraft this ssh -G option can be used to make sure that a site-specific public key is used to avoid inter-site tracking. This is also why http://supertxt.net recommends using the “nobody” user, which can also be checked in this way. Unlike the web, ssh gives the user much more control over their identity.
The #supertxt team finally released the server implementations (ssh and http) that they use for the http://supertxt.net site. There's more details in the readme for the st-int repo.
``` .sh
git archive [email protected]:git/st-int HEAD README.md | tar -xOf -
