Tweets on my website
My past tweets are now available on my website. No sign in required. In the URL, replace “twitter.com/qdoug” with “douglashill.co”.
Examples
- douglashill.co/status/1184397800211173376
- douglashill.co/status/1253232498475180033
- douglashill.co/status/1262708246017716225
- douglashill.co/status/1576939421320024065
- douglashill.co/status/1429833467425083392
Limitations
- No usable archive. I should add this.
- Images are missing descriptions (alt text) because this seems to be missing in the Twitter data export. Don’t know how I can get this except manually or by paying for the Twitter API for a month. 🙀
- Quoted tweets are just links. Same problem as above with accessing this data.
Threads/tweetstorms only include the first two tweets. I didn’t yet write proper code to pull out this data.- Some formatting is off because my website assumes input is Markdown.
Deliberate omissions
- Recent posts, because this content is already available on either douglashill.co or pub.douglashill.co with more meaningful URLs.
- Retweets, because these aren’t that valuable to preserve.
- Mentions, because these aren’t that valuable to preserve.
- Replies to myself don’t have their own page, because threads/tweetstorms are combined into single pages.
