  • anatine

    Discontinued [DEPRECATED] :bird: Pristine Twitter app

  • Anatine[0] was a Twitter client maintained by Sindre Sorhus, a popular open-source maintainer. It made use of a userscript to add extra functionality to Twitter. Sadly, this meant keeping up with Twitter's ever-changing DOM class names.

    It was eventually abandoned.

    Large scale server deploys using BitTorrent and the BitTornado library (by ervinb)

  • Many sites are turning on CSP, a web security capability which lets sites block loading content from anywhere they don't allowlist.

    Userscripts will run, but if they try to load any content from elsewhere, that breaks. So, for example, the Hypothes.is extension wont load. Affected sites keep growing. https://twitter.com turned on CSP many years ago.
