Show HN: Save and organize Twitter threads locally from the command line

10 pointsby dankcoover 2 years ago
I built a tool for saving and viewing a local copy of any Twitter thread and thought I&#x27;d share it here.<p>thread-safe is a simple CLI that combines all of a thread&#x27;s contents (including each tweet&#x27;s text, links, and media attachments such as images and videos) into a locally generated HTML file that can be used to display the thread locally in a browser at any time. The HTML file, all attachments, and a JSON data file are saved to the local filesystem for any use or simply as an archive.<p>This provides a simple way to save threads of interest without having to use a third-party app that needs access to your Twitter account (or vice-versa) and forces you to reply to the thread to &quot;unroll&quot; or otherwise save a copy.<p>By using a dedicated directory for all generated files, thread-safe can be used to maintain a local library of saved threads that can easily be searched using standard commandline tooling like (rip)grep, fzf, fd, and any other awesome tool of your choice.<p>I hope you might find it useful and I&#x27;d love to take any feedback or suggestions that might come to mind!
