I apologize if this has been discussed anywhere on the forum but I did not turn up anything during a search.

Google+ is shutting down in four months (April 2019). They offer a service known as Takeaway that will download your G+ data but not viewable in a very convenient way.
In the G+ universe, the posts are shown and accessible on one webpage. When downloaded, each post is it's own html page. It would be nice if there was a way to view all the posts without having to open each one individually. Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated by myself and the G+ community.

I had to update my post. Looking for something that would work, I came across the review below of one of DC greats! It works perfectly (of course!) but would love to be able to have a webpage do the same.

You should request it as JSON instead of HTML.  The HTML output is essentially useless.

There are many places you can find out what people are doing with that; one of the best resources is the PLexodus Wiki: https://social.antefriguserat.de/index.php/User:Dredmorbius/G%2BMM_FAQ
