@darius hell yeah, nice work. Was just chatting with organizers about wanting this exact thing for a variety of threatened antifascist research accounts. Pool all the archives together to make sure that info is not lost as accounts continue to be purged.

Tbh that model on a slightly larger scale for journalists, community organizers, researchers of all sorts... having a searchable static site version is just a huge win for maintainting these archives going forward.

Saving this post and definitely looking forward to checking out the source when you publish it; thanks again for sharing!

@AnarchoDoggo yeah there are a fair number of these but none of them were like... a big zip file of HTML files that you unzip on a web server. they're all like, framework this, github pages that, database blah blah

@darius thanks! Sorry one other question, how did you go about dealing with shortened twitter urls for QTs, etc? Especially in case where original link is dead (because of account deletion / suspension), was there a way to utilize internet archive or something else to resurrect the content there?

@AnarchoDoggo QTs will look like this:

tinysubversions.com/twitter-ar

I leave it up to the user to either go to that link, or to see if wayback machine has it, etc. Otherwise I would be archiving other people's content and that is an ethical can of worms I do not want to open with this project since I cannot get people's consent for that

@AnarchoDoggo I do unfurl all t.co urls to their original url

@darius sweet, looking forward to seeing how you do this.

@AnarchoDoggo oh it's built in to the twitter archive itself. the text of the tweets contains the t.co but there is metadata for original URLs so I just find/replace

@darius makes a lot of sense, thanks. What is used to translate short links to originals?
