@darius this is absolutely amazing. I was looking at Tweetback, which also looks good, but that requires npm/eleventy, which I'm less familiar with. Looking forward to when/If you release this.

@csilverman yeah I wanted just a big zip file of flat files you could serve!

@darius curious, does it display a full list of tweets, like an archive, or do you have to search for something in particular?

Darius Kazemi

@csilverman it doesn't. is there a good way to display hundreds of thousands of things for browsing? I feel like search is the best way to access this stuff but I'm open to suggestions

@darius The best approach I can think of would be something like a blog, where there's X number of tweets on the frontpage and pagination below that (personally I've never been a fan of the infinite scrolling approach).

Search is useful mainly for me, if I'm trying to find something I remember sharing, but my use case here is a preserved archive of posts that others can browse—again, like a microblog.
