Hi Product Hunt Community 👋 I built this super simple chrome extension because I was tired of scrolling on twitter profiles to find old tweets and found Twitter's Advanced Search to be notoriously manual (especially when I had to constantly switch dates). I imagined a solution where I can click between various months and years to see old tweets without having to type in search queries...and Voila! Social Scroll for Twitter was born! The extension works by inserting a navigation menu on twitter profiles, where the years and months tray range back to when the account was created! Click on any month and year to find the user's tweets from that time. 🤫The secret sauce🤫 clicking on the month/year simply creates an automated advanced search query, so you don't have to type it out! 💪😄 So whether you are: 🏎️ Looking to supercharge navigation of someone's twitter profile, 🥇Looking for someone's first tweet, or 😟 Simply looking to avoid typing in Advanced Search queries on Twitter You can do all of that with this tool! 🙌 Some fun examples 😁 (in the gallery) Check out the throwback to @rrhoover 's first tweets from 2009 when he was just finishing up The Tipping Point audiobook and religiously reading suit buying guides 😉 (fun stuff starts Feb 2009, I checked so you don't have to)! OR @jack 's tweets from March 2006, some of the first tweets on the platform! 😮 The extension is free! Just a fun little side project for me to try my hand at being a maker and scratch my itch at the same time! Disclaimer: Not affiliated with Twitter

Launching soon!

@hassanshaikh this is cool! But can you restrict the permissions you ask for to just Twitter-owned URLs?

@chrismessina Thank you! I believe the host permissions are set to twitter URLs only. As for site excess, you can change it under extension details from "all sites" to "specific sites" and input twitter only!

Scrolling is really annoying! 📃 Wish Social Scroll for Twitter a great start!

Super handy! I went down the memory lane on my own account and gotta say there were some cringey moments 🤣 The only downside is that it's doesn't work when lang. is set to Spanish
