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: "nc6v2.4 (Restarting Numbering Sequence) Bookmarklet"
Changes:
Image Count Threshold:
Added a check to process tweets when the image count reaches 20 or at the end of processing all tweets.
URL Handling:
Replaced nitter.poast.org with twitter.com in URLs.
Removed trailing parameters from URLs containing /status/.
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"]
Resetting Variables:
Reset userTweets, imgCounter, and tweetTexts after processing each chain.
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:
Global Tweet Count:
Introduced a globalTweetCount variable to maintain a continuous numbering sequence across all chains.
Image Count Threshold:
Same as Version 1, processes tweets when the image count reaches 20 or at the end of processing all tweets.
URL Handling:
Same as Version 1, replaces nitter.poast.org with twitter.com and removes trailing parameters from URLs containing /status/.
Multiple Chains with Continuous Indexing:
Ensures that the numbering sequence continues across multiple chains without resetting.
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.
Version 1: "nc6v2.4 (Restarting Numbering Sequence) Bookmarklet"
10/22/24 - this is was less buggy but it sometimes omitted the first url of a thread when in the first chain of the output

[/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.
another nitter bookmarklet fork to support output that separates posts to 20 [IMG] max.
this collects only tweets urls and tweet text from the tweet thread author/OP .
Changelog for "Nc3v4.2"
Version Nc3v4.2
Release Date: [Insert Date]
New Features and Improvements

Each chain includes links to the original tweets, quoted tweets, images, and videos.
Image Count Threshold:
Tweets are now grouped into chains if there are more than 20 images in the current set of tweets.
This helps in managing large sequences of tweets by breaking them down into smaller, more manageable chains.

Ensures that all tweets are included in a chain even if they do not meet the image count threshold.
Enhanced Formatting:
Improved formatting for each chain to include spoiler sections for thread continuation URLs and full text with large images.
Added a link to a guide on how to post tweets in this format.
Notification Update:

Example: "Copied: X chains (Y tweets)"

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.
