In-reply-to » yep, my point is that the txt part is redundant for twtxt

I was thinking of ‘tw.txt’ to avoid a double T issue… Anyway I’d say the extension and MIME type are important to know what a file (could) contain

Reading the original spec, I understand why it should be a .txt file instead of, let’s say twtxt or anything else. In any case it could be nick.twtxt to support multiple users in the same directory.

What is curious to me was the decision at that moment of twtxt [dot] txt. You have the text part twice 🤔. Like mydb.db or eapl_todo.todo. Nothing really transcendental, just thinking out loud.
