Hey folks,
I hate Twitter with a passion and find it very hard to follow discussions because they are so terribly displayed in the official App/Website. Unfortunately I have to use it for job reasons and therefore I am looking for less headaches.
Is there an app which can show me Twitter content and discussion tree views like Reddit does?
I am totally willing to pay.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

[SOLVED] Archiving a deceased loved one's Twitter timeline, including media

Recently a loved one of a friend has died and they would like to archive their entire timeline (no retweets), including media they posted.
I've looked around a little bit and the Twitter API only allows 3200 tweets to be exported. As this includes RTs, this goes back to about 2018, while the account was made in 2011, so it's missing about 90% of their tweets. Also, getting all the media isn't really possible.
Do any of you know a way to accomplish this? Or, can anyone direct me to scripts that crawl the page and save every non-RT tweet + potential media? I'm not very tech-oriented but I can at least run python scripts.
I should mention that I've so far checked out Allmytweets.net (returns RTs) and the Twitter archival project (or whatever it's called), which is a group of people that help in archiving accounts, but they haven't responded yet.
