pty0 is not a website.

It is a platform and an experiment: 
A command line tool for blogs, comment threads, news, and everything else you've come to expect from the web.

But there is no web experience.

Why? 

  The quality of web content has continued to descend, defining new lows every day. 

  Content creators respond to traffic. Whether that traffic is generated by adults or adolescents, the literary or illiterate does not matter.

So let's try something else.


A new way to experience the internet. Strictly from the command line. 

Demonstration:

  $ pt blog followers
  alice
  bob
  carol

  $ pt blog user alice following
  local_news_la
  tech_news

  $ pt blog user alice following | pt blog subscribe
  subscribing to local_news_la
  subscribing to tech_news

  $ pt blog status
  2 blogs

  $ echo $?
  2

  $ pt blog feed
  local_news_la | city council votes tonight on controversial plan
  tech_news | startup releases surprising new tech

  $ pt blog status
  0 blogs

  $ echo $?
  0

  $ emacs my_blog.txt
  ...

  $ pt blog < my_blog.txt
  posted 442 bytes

So yes, an interface that's all text, all command line, friendly to core-utils and unix pipes.

-----

It's also a platform.

  $ pt apt search chat
  user/xmpp_gateway - reach xmpp nodes
  ...
  $ pt apt install user/xmpp_gateway
  alias name > xmpp
  Installing [##########] OK

  $ pt xmpp help
  XMPP Gateway Documentation
  ...
  
  $


And a stackable one at that.

  $ pt fuse mount blog $PWD/blog
  blog mounted

  $ ls blog/
  followers following feed

  $ ls blog/feed
  local_news_la tech_news

  $ tail -f blog/feed/tech_news
  new tech by startup actually doesn't work

  ^C

How do I get started?

  * You need the tool
  * Then you need to generate a public key for identification

What about revenue?

  I'm making it free. Let's try patreon. 


This is an experiment of what the world would look like beyond the web
