I Fixed Threads
A userscript that allows you to save Twitter threads to local storage with easy reentry in case Twitter loses your thread in the ether.
Why? Because Theo has frequently lost threads due to Twitter's poor design (for example, if there's an error submitting a thread, you can't retry. it's just gone).
📜 Installation
- Install Tampermonkey from the Chrome Web Store (or Firefox Add-ons)
- After this, you have two options (only do one of these):
- GreasyFork (recommended): Go to the GreasyFork page and click the green "Install this script" button. This will take you to a page on Tampermonkey where you need to click "Install" to install the script.
- GitHub/Manual install (not recommended): Go to the raw script page. Tampermonkey will automatically detect this file as a userscript (since the file is named
*.user.js), so click the "Install" button to install it. If it doesn't, copy the entire contents of the script into the Tampermonkey script editor (make sure you save).
- If none of these work, look up how to install a Tampermonkey userscript.
📝 Usage
Saving a thread
To save a thread, you can either:
- Right click "Tweet all"
- Right click anywhere except that button, Tampermonkey > I Fixed Threads > Save thread
Loading a thread
To load a thread, you can either:
- Shift + right click "Tweet all"
- Right click anywhere except that button, Tampermonkey > I Fixed Threads > Load thread
then alternate between Cmdv/Ctrlv and Space to paste and go to the next tweet box. When every tweet has been pasted, the script will automatically defocus to indicate this.
Unfortunately, Twitter doesn't allow you to fill in the tweet box or "Add tweet" programmatically, so you have to do the pasting and spacebar pressing yourself.
🚫 Uninstallation
If you don't want to use this script anymore, you can uninstall it anytime.
- Navigate to the Tampermonkey dashboard (click the extension icon in the top right, then click "Dashboard" at the bottom of the popup)
- Click the trashcan on the right side of the page
