Twitter archive

This tool will take a Twitter archive (I'd link to how to get there, but I don't have an account any more, so can't!) and turn it into a series of timestamped notes for your Hugo blog.

go run . <path/to/archive.zip> <path/to/hugo/root/>

It will create one folder per post in the content/notes/ directory. You can change how those posts look by creating a layouts/notes/single.html template.

Hacks

This is super hacky code, please read through it before you run it. In particular, I've:

• hardcoded my own twitter ID (12721) to detect replies to myself
• made use of my own {{< imgorvid >}} shortcode to handle files that could be videos or images, rather than embed them 'properly'
• apparently Twitter (or one of the services I used to post) swapped the order of geographic coordinates from [lon, lat] to [lat, lon] at some point, with no way to determine the difference, so… ¯_(ツ)_/¯
• Lots of short URLs and images went missing; I left the old URLs in there, in case they arise somewhere (very unliekly)
• Probably lots of other stuff.
