git clone [email protected]:tchayen/backup-likes.git
cd backup-likes
yarn

node src/likes.mjs # Download liked tweets.
node src/downloadImages.mjs # Download images locally.
node src/downloadVideos.mjs # Download videos and GIFs locally.

cd viewer
yarn

yarn dev

Go to localhost:3000.

• Detect if user did not download images/videos and use twitter ones (won't be possible with videos because it requires at least one API call that easily hits rate limit).
• Find a way to seemlessly fetch new liked tweets without redownloading the whole archive (might require some normalization of tweets, maybe in the end storing them in a local SQLite database).
