All Twitter content seems to be behind a login wall today

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on news.ycombinator.com

Our great sponsors
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • nitter

    Alternative Twitter front-end

  • You can use this opensource service to at least read other people's tweets:

    https://nitter.net/

  • nitter-instances

    Discontinued Automated uptime monitoring of Nitter instances.

  • Nitter is still working, although searching for users seems to have stopped working you can still use the tweet search tab or manually type a twitter username on the end of the URL.

    List of nitter instances:

    https://github.com/xnaas/nitter-instances

    They unpredictably say "This nitter instance has been rate limited", you can try a few from the above list to find one that is getting less traffic.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • Redirector

    Browser extension (Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Edge) to redirect urls based on regex patterns, like a client side mod_rewrite.

  • I still have a few accounts I glance at from time to time. Hockey, Game Devs, Artists, etc. who haven't migrated away despite everything, so this is kinda obnoxious.

    I created some Redirector (https://einaregilsson.com/redirector/) rules to redirect Tweet and Twitter Profile URLs to their HTML embed equivalents.

    Should be able to just import the rules and it seems to work alright with some caveats.

NOTE: The number of mentions on this list indicates mentions on common posts plus user suggested alternatives. Hence, a higher number means a more popular project.
