Ability to show context for tweets #48

Open passcod opened 8 years ago

passcod commented 8 years ago

Context is defined here as non-reply tweets or retweets from the same user made just before and just after the viewed tweet.

This should probably be "hidden-until-switched" per view, hidden by default, with a settings toggle to make it shown by default. Rationale: to preserve the habitual view of tweets and threads.

UI would need to be thoughtful around how the context is differentiated from the replies and replied-tos.

Not sure how possible this is with the API.

Okay, not sure how possible the other side would be. Showing prior tweets is apparently easy. I'm not seeing a min_id parameter, though.
