NANY 2020 Entry Information

Application Name birdcries
Short Description View tweets with privacy - and without bullshit.
Web Page https://birdcries.net/
Download Link https://code.rosaelefanten.org/birdcries
System Requirements
  • Server: Perl 5, CPAN and a number of modules listed in the README behind the download link.
  • Client: Any web browser should do.
Author me


Description
Replace twitter.com in any Twitter status link by birdcries.net to get a less shitty read-only view of the tweet which is faster and will respect your privacy!

Screenshots
See this example tweet.

Known Issues
  • birdcries cannot display videos, pictures et cetera, nor will it load discussions. If you need a "full-featured" alternative tweet view, I can recommend nitter instead.
  • Protected tweets will spawn an error message. Sorry.
I bet when Cheetahs race and one of them cheats, the other one goes "Man, you're such a Cheetah!" and they laugh & eat a zebra or whatever.
