Very cool! I'm very impressed that Twitter hasn't detected your selenium usage, it seems like they're really trying to push people towards their paid API.

I made a similar tool, except it's a browser extension that lets you download threads as markdown (then it's up to you to dump them into a DB or train a model on them or whatever), I'd love to get your feedback https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/thread-to-markdown/... (firefox version also available)

Edit: Example output using tweet thread mentioned elsewhere in this post https://sharetext.io/c04b7c82

Selenium usage is similar to browsing patterns of real person. (I hope they don't ban my account, if they see this)

Your extension somehow crashed on my system while downloading a thread(i couldn't see download button), I was able to get 1 md file downloaded though and I'd say it does it's job nicely, in the highest manner.

Feature Request: Make download button compatible with Dark Mode(currently it stands out loud)

You're a true user! I just put up a small change that should improve reliability, let me address dark mode as well.

May I ask what you use the markdown for after its downloaded? Would you modify the output at all to make it better fit your use case?

I'd use it somewhere in Github or Dev.to where there is support for MD, though I'm opening it using VS Code which doesn't has direct MD support. Or I'd like to archive it for some reason.

I downloaded this tweet, for example, this can give you an idea about potential usecases https://x.com/ThePrimeagen/status/1873778477448782035

Okay I figured out why it wasn't loading on every tweet page. v0.3.6 is much more reliable now.

Dark mode is now supported as of v0.3.4 :) Thanks for your feedback
