@CarnunMP what a lovely thing to say <3

try reinstalling, thlpr still works for me (see tweets from 16h ago) :)

[CARNUN @carnundotcom]

hard to overstate how much friction it adds to writing threads incorporating past tw**ts/likes/bookmarks when you have to go through tw**ter's terrible search rather than this UX dream:

@prerat @eshear Someone told us manifest v3 has been delayed indefinitely. Haven't managed to find an authoritative source on this

[ThreadHelper @thlpr]

@rraihansaputra It doesn't affect us directly. but prevents us from moving to the official twitter API when google breaks the way we work now

ThreadHelper may be getting removed from the Chrome web store starting June 2023

Google is changing its web extension standards from manifest v2 to v3. It's a move designed to hit ad-blockers, against user interests.

We depend on webRequest, a feature of v2 that's getting cut.

[rai @raihan_blog]

got the JSON out of the @thlpr IndexedDB. (if this could be one click it would be very great)

9.7k tweets bookmarked. lol. lmao.

brave on manifest v3

[Brave @brave]

With Manifest V3, Google is harming privacy and limiting user choice. The bottom line, though, is that Brave will still continue to offer leading protection against invasive ads and trackers.

Keep your privacy protected by switching to Brave today: https://t.co/4wVWi9bfK3

@itsarnavb @thlpr ❤️ issue is not known, I wonder if it persists if you restart your browser and it the extension

Let me know if I can support you while debugging!

Scaling posed some problems, which @ExGenesis wrote about

We stopped developing because we didn't get enough traction in the time we allotted for it. It seemed right to open the code to the community and let development continue in a bottom-up way.

writing up, summary:🧵

Lessons: fix scope early: easier than gradually expanding scope

Problems: local-first implies high memory usage; search could be better; important work is boring; crowding in the space of group cognition;

Next moves: Sustainability and escaping Twitter
