Threaded replies under other's people threads
This is apparently a feature that never existed before and it's unknown if it's something that can happen with the userscript. Some of us use Twitter for collaborative writing between two or more users and we thread our replies so it can be linear, like reading a book. Up to now, for our writing to be threaded and not quoted so we can add more tweets, we used a tool called TwittRP, that was automatically separating multiple tweet replies and was threading them perfectly,. The tool has been around for a long time, but after the major changes that happened to the developer tools, the tool will be shut down by the end of the month. Was wondering if there is any workaround for adding threaded replies under other people's threaded replies, without having to manually separate our tweets. Basically, to use Twitter's feature for an initial threaded post where you add multiple tweets with the (+) symbol, to be able to happen under our or other people's replies. Thank you
Could you provide some example tweets for this please? It's a bit hard to wrap my head around this, sorry
Sorry for the delay in my response! I'm talking for the initial threaded option twitter already gives us. I was wondering if this can be somehow available via the userscript for replying under already posted threads of others. As I mentioned on my original post, some of us write stories (2 or more writers are involved in the story writing) and so far, we could thread our replies under other users via TwittRP, but the tool will be discontinued by the end of April, after the developer tool changes Twitter did. So our main 'worry' is not to separate multiple tweets on our own, and find a way to post our replies threaded under other existing replies. The next best thing after TwittRP would be the thread option twitter has for initial posts to be existing for all threaded replies and not only initial posting. It's a longshot to ask something like this, but better ask than wonder if there is a chance for this to exist or not. (Also sorry, didn't mean to close the request, pressed on the 'close with comment' by accident, instead of pressing 'comment')
ah, now I get what you mean. Attaching images does wonders :)
this could be some nice project and I can imagine it could be possible to do, since you're essentially just drafting the tweets and eventually sending them all together. should be possible!
Although I don't know when I have time to do this, I'll try to look into it (maybe next week?). But no promises though.
Thanks for getting back at me!
That's why I wanted to ask you if it's possible as a project.
Of course we are talking about a threaded post, meaning that if for example my reply under another writer's post is 10 tweets long, each tweet must be under the previous, like a thread, not all 10 tweets to be posted at once under one tweet and not be threaded (I am including a screenshot this time to try and be as specific as I can on how it must look like)
Apart from our little writing group that would find that one extremely handy and helpful, I do believe that simple users would find that as handy too.
And of course, take all the time you need to look into it, whenever it's possible for you. You're dealing with a whole lot already to have this userscript up and running for all of us, there is absolutely no rush on requests for enhancements :)
