For those who have downloaded their #Twitter archive data, you might want to check out this Twitter Archive parser by @timhutton:

https://github.com/timhutton/twitter-archive-parser

This converts your Tweet archive to #markdown and HTML, and replaces t.co URLs (which will break once Twitter goes away) with their original versions.

Afterwards, it asks if you want to try downloading the original size images.

Just ran this myself without any major issues, really easy to use as well.

@bitsgalore @pallsopp42 Nice! We now output DMs to. And a tiny point: there are a couple more user questions that went in this morning.

Sorry, it's fast moving, thanks to all the people helping out!

@timhutton @pallsopp42 Thanks for making this tool, it's incredibly useful! Must say I was a bit taken aback by how that Toot went viral, didn't expect that at all! Anyway, this also gave me the final push to turn it into a full blog post. If anything major changes in Archive Parser I'll try to update the post accordingly!

@timhutton Also I see it now also reports followers/followings, so I updated my earlier comment about that as well.
