JP Hastings-Spital e7c8e60bcc Facebook import 
I kinda screwed with everything else to homogenise all the functions - the FB stuff works, but I've definitely broken some of the other importers.

I can work on fixing them in the future if I need them; otherwise others can look at previous commits!

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.
