Introduction

Userscript for Twitter.com that lets you keep track of the last read Tweet. Easily scroll until you reach that point.

This is finally a rewritten version of my ArmEagle/userscripts/twitter_last_read. That stopped working in the default layout somewhere in 2019. The old layout was completely removed in 2020.

This is a complete rewrite. Twitter now uses ReactJS, with uglified classnames, and much dynamic loaded content. That makes it a lot harder to hook into the website to detect tweets and actions.

This is still a work in progress.

See changelog and license.

Use

Install by clicking here on build/script.user.js.

This script will only let you mark original tweets as read. So; promoted (soon), retweeted tweets, will be completely disregarded. To mark a tweet as the last read; open the popup menu of the Tweet (chevron icon at the top right) and click on "Mark read".

Development details

This is the first time I'm using VSCode. I've setup a Build task that uses Powershell commands to concatenate all the javascript files from src into build/script.user.js. It then copies this all into the clipboard so I can easily paste it in the GreaseMonkey editor.

I've also installed the VSCode extension Trigger Task on Save with the following addintion to VSCode's settings.json:

{
	"triggerTaskOnSave.tasks": {
		"Build": [
			"src/*.js",
			"src/**/*.js"
		]
	}
}
