@darius I know its kinda not your goal, but not everyone is able to self-host. I would certainly be interested in hosting a way to allow users to upload their archive and be able to link to it later.
Not everyone has their own server/infra 🤷‍♂️😅

@darius

Would you care to write/link a short howto?

I'd like to do something similar, but I don't have the skills to do this 100% independently.

I did save my twitter-posts, though.

@darius

This sounds familiar.

@darius brillant!

@darius thank you, that's so great!

@darius that's great. Thanks.

@darius I think this is the tweet where I realised I no longer have an effin’clue about how the internet works, about storage and archiving, hosting, etc. I’m now at the age where the internet is just a thing that’s there. Something I consume and enjoy but I never contribute to or change. Basically, I’ve become “a grandad with his first ‘so-called smart phone (so what’s so bloody smart about it, can it cook pizzas?)’”. An observer.
I can live with this.

@darius I'd be interested in such a solution!

@darius nice, but what I value most are the conversations. It's a truth of social media that no matter how much various partners value a combined work, just one can just delete sizeable portions that leant it meaning.

@darius I don’t know how I forgot to post yesterday, but I’d love to test this out if you’re still looking. I was trying to figure out how best to upload my backup.

@darius — I wish I knew how to do this. Too late for me— but sharing for others! 👏🏻

@darius if you delete your account the username becomes available re-use in 30 days.

@darius Never mind the folks saying, gosh, I wanted you to do a different thing (reminds me so much of academic reviewers who critique by saying you didn’t write the article THEY would’ve written).

I am delighted to be able to turn my twitter archive into something I can actually use! Thank you so much!

@darius
Oh I love this. I made my own a couple of weeks ago, you can browse your tweets locally https://observablehq.com/@mauforonda/search-your-twitter-archive and check mine as a teaser https://observablehq.com/@mauforonda/my-tweets . I love how you're handling threads, I somehow forgot about them 😊

@darius This is a very nice tool for displaying your archived tweets on a stand-alone website. ☝️

If you have a WordPress site, take a look at this script by @shawnhooper:

Here's an example of the same threaded tweet from my archive:

Stand-alone: https://odd.blog/twitter/donncha/status/1448032710367264768/

WordPress: https://odd.blog/tweets/1448032710367264768/

I love the threaded view of the Twitter archiver, but it's great that Shawn's script creates comments from threaded tweets!

@darius Thank you! I often search my own tweets to find old things again, so this is amazing.

@darius this is great- thanks!
