Twitter Viewer – View Twitter Without Account

I used Twitter for over 10 years without an account then suddenly in 2022 that was completely disrupted and no longer an option. Reddit is now this way too. But I find it ridiculous that Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, etc. get used by government agencies and local businesses to post announcements and these sites are increasingly if not completely unusable without being logged in (and in some cases requiring an app instead of the site). Even Bluesky has this problem! Sometimes this information is really important! And I even if I did have an account I may not have access to log in on every device (or even want to). It’s absurd that social media can become this like critical communications platform for severe weather alerts or business hours or anything but the sites hosting it are completely hostile to allowing you to see it. Sites like this are a bandaid on a gangrenous foot. Thanks for allowing me to see links from twitter but it isn’t a sustainable solution clearly.

Anyone know the specifics of how this works under the hood? I assumed the people over at Twitter/X would aggressively block systems like this from working. Are they doing something creative to get around that?

API works great, for now https://api.twitterwebviewer.com/api/user/[username] https://api.twitterwebviewer.com/api/user/[username]&uid=[id... Beware the website is jam-packed with ads and tracking

It would be nice if URL schema was compatibile with X. In case of Nitter, I could’ve just replaced x.com with xcancel.com with a web extension and URL still works.

it's brave to look at other companies receiving cease and desist notices and treat it as a market opening
