- Uses HTML offline feature
- Authentication free, using http://dev.twitter.com/doc/get/statuses/user_timeline
- Aims to suck less by keeping lines of code low
- Encourage folks to use
fetch-tweets.sh
themselves and get into shell ;) - Dependencies: curl, libhtml-parser-perl (to decode HTML entities), xmlstarlet, coreutils, PHP
- Look and feel mostly by http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap
- Please review and comment on the code!
- API only allows 3200 tweets to be downloaded this way :((
- 150 API limit on the server ... (so clone it and use it yourself!)
- Won't work on protected accounts (duh!)
- No @mentions or DMs from other accounts
Fetch your tweets manually by accessing the URL:
http://greptweet.com/f/TWITTER_USERNAME
Last 4 tweets:
curl -s http://greptweet/u/webconverger/tweets.txt | head -n4

There is a problem whereby if the page is killed whilst fetching, the lock isn't cleared then and there because trap
does not seem to work.
Make sure your httpd does utf8 all the time:
AddDefaultCharset utf-8
