Twitter Archive

Twitter was a really important service for me, but that’s changing quickly and I’m not too sure what comes next. What I do know is that I’ve been on it for 16 years, and that means something to me.

As Twitter goes into decline, I wanted a home for my archive. Right now, that archive includes a lot of personal information and private messages. I wanted a way to publish just the meaningful parts, safely and without all the unnecessary data.

This project is an attempt to do that. My archive is now here. It’s not fancy. I often want to do everything, but I stayed focused on solving one problem: creating a simple presence for my public tweets.

I did my best to make it easy for others to use too, in case anyone wants something similar. Its available Github.

Feedback welcome. I’m especially open to PRs that address any of the following:

• Bug fixes or cleaner code
• Expanding the tweet layout formats
• Rewriting the build script in other languages (Python, etc.) that perform the same actions
