Twitter is Going Great!

Twitter is Going Great is a project inspired by Web3 is Going Just Great to track the latest examples of how Twitter is actively falling to pieces thanks to its current owner Elon Musk (with special guests Jack Dorsey and the Saudi Arabian royal family).

This is the weirdest build I’ve ever completed (it’s not finished). Why is it weird? Because it’s one of those mythical unicorns that is a project where I knew what I wanted to build, I had a pretty good idea of how I wanted to build it, I did actual pen and paper sketches, the finished build does 9

made a tiny webpage for my home network so I don't have to remember all the ports and things, also has a wifi qr code for showing to guests

If you download your #Twitter archive it arrives wrapped as a static HTML page, which is not very useful for doing anything with, and worse: it requires the original account to be still active to do useful things like enlarge the images since they use t.co links.
