Save and organize Twitter threads locally from the command line
I built a tool for saving and viewing a local copy of any Twitter thread and thought I'd share it here. thread-safe is a simple CLI that combines all of a thread's contents (including each tweet's text, links, and media attachments such as images and videos) into a locally generated HTML file that can be used to display the thread locally in a browser at any time. The HTML file, all attachments, and a JSON data file are saved to the local filesystem for any use or simply as an archive. This provides a simple way to save threads of interest without having to use a third-party app that needs…
In plain words
Thread-safe is a command-line tool that downloads and archives Twitter threads as local HTML files with all text, links, images, and videos included. Users can view saved threads offline in a browser and maintain a searchable library on their computer. The tool stores threads as HTML, JSON, and media files without requiring third-party app permissions or account access. It's designed for developers and Twitter users who want to preserve threads independently.

In the maker’s words, at launch
I built a tool for saving and viewing a local copy of any Twitter thread and thought I'd share it here. thread-safe is a simple CLI that combines all of a thread's contents (including each tweet's text, links, and media attachments such as images and videos) into a locally generated HTML file that can be used to display the thread locally in a browser at any time. The HTML file, all attachments, and a JSON data file are saved to the local filesystem for any use or simply as an archive. This provides a simple way to save threads of interest without having to use a third-party app that needs access to your Twitter account (or vice-versa) and forces you to reply to the thread to "unroll" or otherwise save a copy. By using a dedicated directory for all generated files, thread-safe can be used to maintain a local library of saved threads that can easily be searched using standard commandline tooling like (rip)grep, fzf, fd, and any other awesome tool of your choice. I hope you might find it useful and I'd love to take any feedback or suggestions that might come to mind!

This works suprisingly well. Just give it instructions like "make it winter" or "remove the cars" and the photo is altered. Here are some examples of transformations it can make: Golden gate bridge: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/brycedrennan/imaginAIry/ma... Girl with a pearl earring: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/brycedrennan/imaginAIry/ma... I integrated this new InstructPix2Pix model into imaginAIry (python library) so it's easy to use for python developers.

The project is called QueryStorm. It uses Roslyn to offer C# (and VB.NET) support in Excel, as an alternative to VBA. I've posted about it before, but a lot has changed since then so figured I'd share an update. The current version includes a host of new features, namely a C# debugger, support for NuGet packages, and the ability to publish Excel extensions to an "AppStore" (which is essentially a NuGet repository). The AppStore can be used by anyone with the (free) runtime component. Another great addition is the community license, which is a free license for individuals and small companies…

Hey HN! Some more info: I’m an NHS doctor and the founder of Pi-A (https://www.pi-a.io) which developed Lungy (https://www.lungy.app). Lungy is an app (iOS only for now) that responds to breathing in real-time and was designed to make breathing exercises more engaging and beneficial to do. It hopefully has many aspects of interest to the HN community – real-time fluid, cloth and soft body sims running on the phone’s GPU. My background is as a junior surgical trainee and I started building Lungy in 2020 during the first COVID lockdown in London. During COVID, there were…
