wtf is tweetarchive?

TweetArchive is a Chrome browser extension that automatically saves tweets you scroll past on Twitter, so you can find them again later even if a post disappears from your feed or you simply cannot remember where you saw it. The idea is to build a personal, searchable backup of your own Twitter browsing history as it happens, rather than requiring you to manually save or bookmark each post one at a time. This kind of tool is useful because social media feeds are unpredictable. A post you saw yesterday might get deleted by its author, hidden by a platform change, or simply buried under thousands of newer posts by the time you go looking for it. By capturing tweets passively as you browse, the extension aims to remove the need to remember to save anything in the moment. The README is very short and describes the project as currently in active development, so its features and behavior may still be changing. It also lists one known issue: the extension might record tweets that were only loaded onto the page but not actually seen or read by the user, since it currently cannot reliably tell the difference between a tweet that loaded quietly in the background and one a person actually scrolled past and looked at. This means the archive could end up containing entries the user never consciously viewed. Beyond this, the README does not describe how the archive is stored, how to install the extension, or what its interface looks like, so those details are not yet documented. No license is mentioned in the README, so its terms of reuse are unclear.
