I'm getting an unauthorized error on usernames and nothing on threads?

  Hmm, did you sign in first? Just ran a username example: https://the.rip/@benzguo-likes-1284546444796412000 https://the.rip/@benzguo-likes-1284546444796412000

    No I didn't, I see now. Don't really use Twitter on a mobile browser as the experience is too rough, just use a thin Android web client instead. This looks really cool, I like the layout. Will check it out on a desktop later. Good luck with it.

      Thanks for trying it out! Will definitely try to make that req clearer :)

Hi! Author here. I built this because I wanted to be able to unroll Twitter threads to markdown (for import into tools like Roam & Obsidian). It was also a great chance to try Twitter’s new search API released this week. I used NextJS, plus several great OSS projects of note: https://next-auth.js.org/ https://next-auth.js.org/ https://github.com/draftbit/twitter-lite https://github.com/draftbit/twitter-lite https://github.com/outline/rich-markdown-editor https://github.com/outline/rich-markdown-editor https://github.com/system-ui/theme-ui https://github.com/system-ui/theme-ui

  If you’d like to discuss on Twitter, here’s my tweet announcing The.Rip yesterday :) https://twitter.com/benzguo/status/1294832715049517058?s=21 https://twitter.com/benzguo/status/1294832715049517058?s=21

Would you support a feature request to make an API call to the Wayback Machine (at the Internet Archive) to archive whatever threads you’re creating into the Internet Archive?
- benzguo 6y ago
  That'd be cool – I'll definitely consider it! Adding to the backlog :)

    Let me know how I can buy you a beer or coffee in return.

My main problem with these bots is they require people to tweet at them in reply to the thing they want processed. So for anything with a decent amount of engagement, the replies get all shitted up with lots of people tweeting “@MyCoolThreadBot” or whatever. Hate that.
