Twitter dethreader (/de-thread-er/, not /deth-read-er/) is a command-line tool that converts Twitter threads into markdown format. This project was developed mostly for fun, educational value and because it is something I would use myself.
Currently, there is no way to install this program globally as a binary.
To install, you need to have Rust language installed as well as cargo package manager. Clone this repository and run:
cargo run -- [OPTIONS] <tweet-id> I certainly have some things that are missing or could be improved. Thus, feel free to contribute to this project. Best way to start is to open an issue.
Contribution is not just about adding features. This project can also benefit from:
- Documentation
- Testing
- GUI
- Discovering bugs
This list is not exhaustive.
This was developed mainly for two reasons:
- When Twitter API stopped being free, all existing tools for unwrapping threads broke. I decided that I could make one myself and it can be free.
- I wanted to practice Rust.
