In advance of deleting my Twitter account, I made this web page that lets you search my tweets, link to an archived version, and read whole threads I wrote.
https://tinysubversions.com/twitter-archive/
I will eventually release this as a website I host where you drop your Twitter zip archive in and it spits out the 100% static site you see here. Then you can just upload it somewhere and you have an archive that is also easy to style how you like it.
@darius hell yeah, nice work. Was just chatting with organizers about wanting this exact thing for a variety of threatened antifascist research accounts. Pool all the archives together to make sure that info is not lost as accounts continue to be purged.
Tbh that model on a slightly larger scale for journalists, community organizers, researchers of all sorts... having a searchable static site version is just a huge win for maintainting these archives going forward.
Saving this post and definitely looking forward to checking out the source when you publish it; thanks again for sharing!

it's an in-browser text search indexing thing
Elasticlunr.js, lightweight full-text search engine in Javascript for browser search and offline search. Elasticlunr.js is developed based on Lunr.js, but more flexible than lunr.js. Elasticlunr.js provides Query-Time boosting and field search. A bit like Solr, but much smaller and not as bright, but also provide flexible configuration and query-time boosting.
@AnarchoDoggo QTs will look like this:

I leave it up to the user to either go to that link, or to see if wayback machine has it, etc. Otherwise I would be archiving other people's content and that is an ethical can of worms I do not want to open with this project since I cannot get people's consent for that
