https://github.com/dimdenGD/OldTwitter Works fine. Reverse chronological sorting with just who you follow. For automated... apart from self host RSS options or nitter instance, neither of which I've tried... For semi automated I have a manual but not too laborious google sheet: https://imgur.com/a/S5xTlPp Uses: https://github.com/dimdenGD/OldTwitter https://github.com/BlackGlory/copycat TLDR workflow: 1. open "old" twitter 2. scroll down multiple pages (autopagination supported) 3. search for C2 which contains first 20 characters of last tweet in the sheet 4. copyeverything from that point to first tweet (basically all new tweets since reverse chronological sorted), use copycat to copy the BB code 5. paste BB code in sheet F4 (yellow column), I have a bunch of helper columns in another tab that parses through the code to which sorts into

date, url, username, tweet 6. i have another page with list of usernames and next to them labels/tag (emoji) 7. run a script, and it outputs everything into a digest, sorted by label/tag, then user, then tweet from oldest to newest I spend a few minutes in the morning finding where i left off previous day, copy paste, and run script and it gives me a digest of last 24 hours of tweets.Before this, it was hooked into nitter list RSS which auto refreshed and did it all automatically. Before that there was a nice service called streamspigot or something that did it all with API access. It is unnessicarily annoying / difficult to just get a daily digest of tweets you're interested in.
