tobiastom Hey there.
#
tobiastom Hi.
#
tobiastom @aaronpk are you around and may I ask you a question of one feature of your website? it's in relation to the activity stream you did build (which seems to be mastodon compatible).

@tomcoates Earlier today, @realdonaldtrump unblocked my twitter account. I thought I should probably talk about this in a little more detail. (twitter.com/_/status/1034519664640970752)

jeremycherfas Astonishing story. I hope Roman Mars does a follow up to the episode of ConLaw in which they discussed it.

#
tantek__ kevinmarks, is there a tumblr that unrolls tomcoates's twitterstorms into blog posts? perhaps a riff on plasticbag? platicbaguette?

gRegorLove What is Thread Reader App?
#
Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "Thread Reader App" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "Thread Reader App is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#
gRegorLove Thread Reader App is https://threadreaderapp.com and associated Twitter account https://twitter.com/threadreaderapp that allows you to reply to a Twitter thread mentioning @threadreaderapp with the word "unroll" and get a link back with the entire thread.
#
Loqi ok

#
[cleverdevil] Hmmm.... maybe I should add a feature to Indiepaper that automatically unrolls Twitter threads when saving them.
#

#
gRegorLove I thought about asking the dev for that^ to add mf2
#
gRegorLove That would be awesome, [cleverdevil]
#
gRegorLove Heh, Internet Archive is freaking out trying to archive that.

[cleverdevil] !tell snarfed does granary have the ability to "unroll" Twitter threads?

snarfed ACM++ for open access, making full text of papers available in HTML by default, alongside PDF. eg https://cacm.acm.org/magazines/2016/7/204032-why-google-stores-billions-of-lines-of-code-in-a-single-repository/fulltext

#
Loqi snarfed: [cleverdevil] left you a message 31 minutes ago: does granary have the ability to "unroll" Twitter threads?
#
snarfed [cleverdevil]: nope, sorry
#
snarfed it does fetch replies though, which is nontrivial since twitter has no API for that (!), so you could do it manually in granary by recursing down the reply chain
ben_thatmustbeme joined the channel
#
[cleverdevil] Oh cool. Any sample code? Do I absolutely have to have a token for it? Twitter has locked that down pretty tight.
#
snarfed [cleverdevil]: yeah afaik you need a token
#
snarfed code, let's see. it'd be get_activities(activity_id=XXX, fetch_replies=True)...
#
snarfed and then take that activity and loop through activity['object']['replies'] and call get_activities(activity_id=YYY, fetch_replies=True) where YYY is reply['id']
#
snarfed and recurse
#
snarfed (something like that)
#
[cleverdevil] Cool thx.
#
snarfed gl!
#
[cleverdevil] I seriously doubt I’ll be able to get a token for this use case sadly :/
#
snarfed eh just use one from an existing app, at least for dev
#
[cleverdevil] Good point.
#
[cleverdevil] I do have an old one laying around.
