Development Background

  • Twitter changed its specification to require login to view tweets
  • View limits were added on weekends

Given these two points, I was thinking about whether there was a way to view tweets without logging in 🤔

Explanation of the Personally Developed Chrome Extension

Currently, you can view tweets without logging in by using Twitter Publish, so I created a Chrome extension that simply passes the relevant tweet URL as a URL parameter to https://publish.twitter.com/?query= and opens it in a new tab.

I implemented this in First Implementation of Minimal Functioning Chrome Extension by shige · Pull Request #2 · codenote-net/open-tweet-in-publish-twitter.

I really wanted to make it publicly available, but there were too many things to fill out and I ran out of time ⌛️

That’s all from the Gemba, where I personally developed a Chrome extension to get tweet embed codes.
