README (excerpts pasted here for your convenience, please refer to the website for boring technical details and TODOs):

What is twtxt?

twtxt is a decentralised, minimalist approach to micro-blogging, similar to Twitter but with self-hosted plaintext files. See the original twtxt documentation for details. twtxtc is a twtxt client written in the C language.

Requirements

Build or download an appropriate curl binary for your system and place it into your $PATH or the twtxtc folder. If you don't, you won't be able to retrieve your timeline. Sorry.

Usage


--- ---./twtxtc [COMMAND]
Commands


--- ---tweet <text>            Adds <text> to your twtxt timeline.
timeline                Displays your twtxt timeline.
following               Gives you a list of all people you follow.
follow <user> <URL>     Adds the twtxt file from <URL> to your timeline.
                        <user> defines the user name to display.
unfollow <user>         Removes the user with the display name <user> from your timeline.
help                    Displays a help screen.
Configuration

If found, twtxtc will use the .twtxtconfig file inside your HOME directory. (See twtxtc help for information on where it should be found.) The .twtxtconfig file is meant to be a valid JSON file like this:


--- ---{
    "nickname": "tux0r",
    "twtxtfile": "twtxt.txt",
    "maxlog": 100,
    "spacing": "   ",
    "following": {
        "user_1": "https://example.com/twtxt.txt",
        "user_2": "https://elsewhere.com/tweets.txt"
    }
}
Possible entries are:

[*]nickname: Your preferred nickname. Only used to filter mentions to other people.
[*]twtxtfile: The location of your twtxt.txt file. Defaults to ./twtxt.txt.
[*]maxlog: The maximum number of entries shown when you view your timeline. Defaults to 100.
[*]spacing: A string value that contains the spacing between the user name and the text when viewing your timeline. Defaults to three spaces.
[*]following: A list of users you follow. Can be managed with the follow and unfollow commands.
[/list]

The current limit of the list of users you are following is at 4 KiB. You probably won't reach that limit any time soon.

Tuxman:
Update: Reworked the build system. cJSON is fetched from Conan now (requires Conan).
No functionality changes, thus, no new binary.
