My Twitter Archive

Few weeks ago I downloaded my complete Instagram profile and published an archive here, on my personal website.

Next logical step was to do the same with Twitter, which was once my favorite social network. I left it right after it was overtaken by a billionaire and renamed, but it hosts around 15 years of memories. I don’t want to lose them, so I downloaded archive of my profile and (vibe-)coded a static page from it.

With very little effort from my side I was able to get a 5Mb HTML file and somewhat 400Mb media. With some additional effort from AI and imagemagick/ffmpeg I shrinked them down to 2Mb and 120Mb respectively, which I find acceptable.

I enjoyed glancing through the history and remembering some long forgotten interactions with beautiful people around the world. I’ll miss them, but I’m out of social networks.
