Needed: Improve DMs output: images, links, html?, split files?

Open timhutton opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

  1. In tweets we embed the images and videos. We should do the same for DMs.
  2. We currently output a single md file with all the DMs in it. For users with very many DMs this might present a problem for rendering, so we could split them out as we do for tweets.
  3. We could output html for DMs, as we do for tweets.

Any one of these issues is worth tackling on its own.

Also, group messages are not yet handled at all. The format of direct-messages-group.js seems to be similar to that of direct-messages.js, so maybe it's possible to write a single method that can handle both kinds.

I just implemented that in #96 (splitting the output up into one file per conversation).

By the way, I'm currently working on parsing group DMs. Not completely finished yet, but probably will be tomorrow :)
