      @zachleat @nhoizey update: however, my archive request hasn't been processed yet by Twitter even though it's been more than 24 hours, even though the settings page says 'To protect your account, it can take 24 hours or longer for your data to be ready.' Let's see if this still works...

         @jaapstronks some people got their archive after 8 days, patience is required. 😅

         @nhoizey @andy most of the code maybe but I would not have published it without our conversations 🏆

   @zachleat @nhoizey There is a Library of Congress archive of all public tweets from 2006-2017 🤔

   @zachleat It's me, explaining your projects to myself again! You'll never escape!

   This creates a linkable archive of your Twitter presence, the idea of which is to canonize THOSE links as the "correct" links for your tweets going forward. So if you have a lot of content in a blog, like Zach does, that links to tweets, this replaces Twitter as a dependency for that data.

   Is that right?

   1. Zach Leatherman 1 hr later

      @mwdelaney Yeah! And even better, you can use `@tweetback/canonical` to change any twitter URLs on your site to point to the archives we know about and route around twitter altogether: https://fediverse.zachleat.com/@zachleat/109382945371213697

    @zachleat @nhoizey @shanselman cool! sad that twitter archive export stopped working weeks ago

    1. Nicolas Hoizey 13 hr later

       @martinjuhasz people are still getting their archives these days, but it can take a week.

       @zachleat @shanselman

          @nhoizey @zachleat @shanselman good to know. crossing the two weeks mark soon 🤞

    @zachleat Dang, I could of used this. I recently built something with Eleventy to archive my girlfriend’s tweets and images. Mostly the images, because there are hundreds. But, it’s not nearly as robust as this.

    1. Zach Leatherman 2 days later

       @srwild there’s always version two! 😅

          @zachleat hmmmm, I do have the day off tomorrow.

    @nhoizey @zachleat This was my favorite thing to use this week. Thank you! 🤩 Was really impressed with how well it worked (across 25K tweets).

    My only feedback was uncertainty navigating beyond Recent/Popular/tweet URL seemed a gap. Perhaps by design, but otherwise lookups by tweet URL worked flawlessly 💜

    1. Nicolas Hoizey 2 days later

       @addyosmani great!
       There’s an issue already open for monthly archives navigation: https://github.com/tweetback/tweetback/issues/15

    @zachleat @nhoizey wow, that's great! Thanks a lot.

    🤔 wouldn't it be a cool 🎄 vacation project to add a build script that creates a fully running OCI container image with one's tweet archive for ease of sharing without hosting it ?

    Indeed, so I added it to my list 🙂

    1. Nicolas Hoizey 2 days later

       @ro14nd sorry, but what is an "OCI container image"? 😅

       @zachleat

       1. Roland Huß 🌶 🇺🇦 2 days later

          @nhoizey @zachleat OCI formerly known as Docker ;-)

          OCI (Open Container Initiative) is the standard for defining container images that you can run with Docker or other runtimes (containerd, podman,...)

          The benefit here would be, if you have stored your public tweets in such a container, you then could just use something like

          docker run -p 8080:8080 rhuss/tweets

          And then point your browser to http://localhost:8080 Or run it in a Kubernetes cluster. Or whatever :-)

          1. Nicolas Hoizey 2 days later

             @ro14nd oh, I didn’t know about this, thanks.

             You can already run `npm start` if you want to browse you #tweetback archive without sharing it. Isn’t that enough?

             @zachleat

             1. Roland Huß 🌶 🇺🇦 2 days later

                @nhoizey @zachleat true, but then you need Node installed and fetch all dependencies. And git. Things might break in the future (left-pad anyone? :-).

                OCI containers are fully self contained and contain all those dependencies within the image.You can run it anytime in the future anywhere without rebuilding or checking dependencies. Not so bad for an archive ;-)

                Let me do a quick prototype to make it more clear what I mean. Will send you a PR.

                1. Nicolas Hoizey 2 days later

                   @ro14nd ok, it makes sense. 👍

                   @zachleat

                   1. Roland Huß 🌶 🇺🇦 2 days later

                      @nhoizey @zachleat Here's a first prototype --> https://github.com/tweetback/tweetback/pull/26

                      You can try it out with my tweets by running `docker run -p 8080:8080 rhuss/tweets`

                      Thanks a lot for creating and open sourcing this package, this is very helpful for us immigrants ;-)

                      1. Nicolas Hoizey 2 days later

                         @ro14nd thanks! I'll check this. 👍
