[[Feature request]] Twitter thread markdown export: If I’m on a Twitter thread, can the highlighter do a threadreaderapp style unroll of the thread (with just OP tweets, no other replies)? Not sure how difficult this is. Pasting original tweet URL is not searchable and not thread friendly. Believe Readwise has this feature, but given highlighter handles Kindle highlights, adding Twitter thread extract/export would mean I don’t really need Readwise at all.
Even imagining thread of threads where you get the underlying threads indented. Like https://treeverse.app/ (without the viz)

Awesome idea and twitter is on my list since I know so important to many of you. I personally don’t use twitter much so reason hasn’t been a priority but I’ll bump it up on the list. I’m already past due on an update in general ;-p
Do you mind doing like a GIF or video showing me manually what you want? I’m pretty twitter illiterate and the way everything gets threaded and comments of comments confuses me sometimes haha so I need a mock-up of what you would like. Start with basic example of 80% of what you’d want... and then maybe another example of perfect world with threading comments/replies etc. You think you could mock something up for me like that?
Essentially could just be video of you going to a tweet, copying manually what you want and pasting into roam... then going back to twitter and copying whatever else you’d like from a typical twitter “thread” and pasting into roam manually and then showing in roam the formatting/nesting you’d prefer setup. That would help a lot!!

Oh snap as I was looking through I found https://jikji.pro/ which does a one-click thread unroll in nice format.

nice, I could definitely add something like that (similar to my kindle extraction).... just wont be as "pretty" as that tool haha
but would still be helpful if you can give me an example tweet/thread and what you'd expect to see and in what "format". Cuz then we can customize my extension based on all your wish list items 😉

Her’s a GIF of how I would do it currently! What’s missing here is pasting in the link to the original Tweet and maybe some info about the original tweet (Account, Timestamp) - stuff that Roam Highlighter should be able to extract.
Murf I Linked you to the Treeverse branch that has created a really good implementation of this. I don’t think you should invest too much time in this feature.
