adjusted the output. this only saves tweets from the parents username aka tweet author. this also extracts video urls from nitter instances that support direct video links.


This bookmarklet is designed to run on a Nitter instance, which is an alternative front-end for Twitter. Here’s what it does in layman's terms:

1. Collect Tweets: It scans the current page for tweets and logs how many tweets it finds.
2. Identify Username: It identifies the username of the user whose tweets are being collected.
3. Extract Tweet Content:
   • For each tweet, it extracts the text content, including any quoted tweets and media (images and videos).
   • It cleans up the text by removing HTML tags and formatting links and media URLs.
4. Collect Thread Continuation URLs: It collects URLs of continued threads if any.
5. Format Text: It formats all extracted tweet texts into a single string with spoilers for full text and large images.
6. Copy to Clipboard: It copies the formatted text to your clipboard.
7. Display Notification: It shows a temporary notification that the tweets have been copied.

this also extracts video urls from nitter instances that support direct video links.

This bookmarklet is designed to collect and format tweets from a Nitter instance (a privacy-focused alternative to Twitter) in a specific way, making it easier to copy and share them. Here’s what it does in layman's terms:

1. Collects Tweets: It scans the page for all visible tweets.
2. Extracts Tweet Details: For each tweet, it extracts the tweet text, author, links, images, and videos.
3. Formats the Content: It formats the extracted content into a structured text that includes:
   • The original URL of the tweet thread.
   • A list of URLs for continued threads.
   • The full text of each tweet with author names and any quoted tweets or media links.
4. Copies to Clipboard: The formatted text is then copied to your clipboard.
5. Displays Notification: A temporary notification appears on the screen indicating that the tweets have been copied.

thecoli has a limit of 20 {IMG} per post so I forked the code to create chains of the output per 20 {IMG}
it collects all tweets replies but only includes the tweet urls made by the tweet thread starter/OP.


Here are the changelogs for both versions of the bookmarklet

Changelog for Version 1: "nc6.v2.4 (Restarting Numbering Sequence) Bookmarklet"​

Changes:​

1. Image Count Threshold:
   • Added a check to process tweets when the image count reaches 20 or at the end of processing all tweets.
2. URL Handling:
   • Replaced nitter.poast.org with twitter.com in URLs.
   • Removed trailing parameters from URLs containing /status/.
3. Multiple Chains:
   • Implemented logic to handle multiple chains of tweets, each with its own [SPOILER="thread continued"] and [SPOILER="full text & large images"] sections.
   [SPOILER="thread continued"] [SPOILER="full text & large images"]
4. Resetting Variables:
   • Reset userTweets, imgCounter, and tweetTexts after processing each chain.
5. Notification and Copying:
   • Enhanced notification and copying logic to handle multiple chains correctly.

[SPOILER="thread continued"] [SPOILER="full text & large images"]

Layman's Term Summary:​

This version of the bookmarklet processes tweets in chunks based on the number of images found. It replaces nitter.poast.org with twitter.com in URLs, removes any extra parameters from status URLs, and handles multiple chains of tweets separately. Each chain starts its numbering from 1 again.

Changelog for Version 2: "nc6.v2.4.1 (Continuing Numbering Sequence) Bookmarklet"​

Changes:​

1. Global Tweet Count:
   • Introduced a globalTweetCount variable to maintain a continuous numbering sequence across all chains.
2. Image Count Threshold:
   • Same as Version 1, processes tweets when the image count reaches 20 or at the end of processing all tweets.
3. URL Handling:
   • Same as Version 1, replaces nitter.poast.org with twitter.com and removes trailing parameters from URLs containing /status/.
4. Multiple Chains with Continuous Indexing:
   • Ensures that the numbering sequence continues across multiple chains without resetting.
5. Notification and Copying:
   • Enhanced notification and copying logic to reflect the continuous indexing.

Layman's Term Summary:​

This version of the bookmarklet also processes tweets in chunks based on the number of images found but maintains a continuous numbering sequence across all chains. It replaces nitter.poast.org with twitter.com in URLs, removes any extra parameters from status URLs, and ensures that each new chain continues the numbering from where the previous chain left off.

Detailed Changelog Comparison​

Common Changes:​

• Image Count Threshold: Both versions process tweets when the image count reaches 20 or at the end of processing all tweets.
• URL Handling: Both versions replace nitter.poast.org with twitter.com and remove trailing parameters from URLs containing /status/.
• Multiple Chains: Both versions handle multiple chains of tweets with separate [SPOILER="thread continued"] and [SPOILER="full text & large images"] sections.

[SPOILER="thread continued"] [SPOILER="full text & large images"]

Unique Changes in Version 1:​

• Resetting Variables: Resets userTweets, imgCounter, and tweetTexts after processing each chain, causing each chain to start its numbering from 1.
• Notification and Copying Logic: Adjusted to handle multiple chains separately but with resetting indices.

Unique Changes in Version 2:​

• Global Tweet Count: Introduced a globalTweetCount variable to maintain a continuous numbering sequence across all chains.
• Continuous Indexing: Ensures that each new chain continues the numbering from where the previous chain left off.

This summary should help you understand the key differences and improvements in each version of the bookmarklet.

[/SPOILER]

Key Differences in Output:​

• Version 1:
  • Each chain of tweets starts its numbering from 1.
  • Example: 1/16, 2/16, ..., 16/16 followed by another chain starting from 1/20.
• Version 2:
  • The numbering sequence continues across multiple chains.
  • Example: 1/34, 2/34, ..., 16/34 followed by the next chain continuing from 17/34.

This illustrates how Version 2 maintains a continuous numbering sequence across all chains, while Version 1 resets the numbering for each new chain.

Summary of "Nc3v4.2" in Layman's Terms​

The new code, "Nc3v4.2," is an enhanced version of your previous bookmarklet designed to scrape and format tweets from a Twitter page, specifically when using the Nitter frontend. Here’s what it does in simple terms:

Key Features​

   • It filters these tweets to only include those posted by a specific user.
3. Extract Content:
   • For each tweet, it extracts the text, any quoted tweets, images, and videos.
   • It converts HTML elements into plain text format and adds links for images and videos.
4. Group into Chains:

   • Each chain includes links to the original tweets, quoted tweets, images, and videos.
5. Copy to Clipboard:
   • Once all chains are formed, it combines them into one large string and copies this string to your clipboard.
   • A notification box appears briefly indicating that copying is complete.

Detailed Steps​

• Identify Tweets and User:
  • The script finds all elements on the page that represent individual tweets (timeline-item) and ensures there are some.

  • Each chain includes a spoiler section for thread continuation URLs and another for full text with large images.
• Copy Formatted Text to Clipboard:
  • Once all chains are formed, it combines them into one large string and copies this string to your clipboard.
  • A notification box appears briefly indicating that copying is complete.
