My tool for making a simple, searchable, themeable archive of your public tweets and threads is now live:

tinysubversions.com/twitter-ar

The tool runs entirely on your computer, in your browser. None of your data is uploaded anywhere in the process. The output is a zip file of a basic HTML website that you can upload to a web host if you choose.

The site also answers most of the common questions I get. Please read it first before asking me questions here!

"It'll be over soon. Just like Twitter"

Love it! 🤣

@darius The standard archive includes circle tweets which the user might not consider public I think and you may want to warn people about that.

@darius Question: I have two archives, one from a couple of years ago, and then another one that covers the time since then. Would I need to combine them before using your tool? Or could I run it on both archives and then merge them before uploading to my site?

@darius I also made a thing to have fun with your Twitter archive sam.pikesley.org/projects/mark

@darius Birdsite's own search facilities are excellent. It's my ability to search my posts on Mastodon that's the problem. I often have to go back to Birdsite and search for things I've posted there previously, when I've posted them on both sites, because it's easier to find them there.

@darius @billt I’ll have a look at your tool. I did, about a month ago use the official tool but i don’t trust it lol. I’ll give yours a whirl, sounds very cool.

@darius As Twitter replaces URLs with t.co short links, does this tool expand those links?

@darius How tricky would it be to make something similar for LinkedIn posts? I would really like to "own" my posts and host them under my control.

I have added a "browse" mode to my simple Twitter archive creator tool (described in the post this is replying to).

If you have already made an archive with it and would like this new functionality... you can just run your twitter ZIP with it one more time and it'll generate an updated site.
