Hi fellow makers!
I'm a Ruby on Rails dev on an indie journey so I am often (too often? 😅) hanging out for inspiration on ProductHunt, X etc... but I want to start interacting more with people and building a little community there as well!
> Problem: I didn't know where to start and what to post for my very first tweets 😵💫 so I wondered what others did and what they started posting when they joined...
> Long story short, it was so tedious and you can't do that quickly without flickering with the advanced search on X and inputting precise dates and usernames one by one - so I created my own Chrome extension over a day to do just that! 🕊️
Hope you'll have fun finding your old tweets or anyone else's 🚀
PS: I wrote about my findings while building it and about extensions in general on X.
Now go dig into the past and feel free to repost and tag me on your very first one with the hashtag #time machine! > @annedevj #timemachine
Congrats on the launch! This is a very niche tool but definitely does what it's supposed to do. Not many know that there are search operators for X but with this, this is going to be quite helpful.
@glen_dsouza_1 for sure! And just inputting the same search operators over and over when you want to search for many different people was too tedious for me, I had to automate that 😇 let me know if I should add more search options!
Hey @annedevj very cool idea, I would not have thought of something like this. Just installed your extension 👏🏻
I think this is super helpful to get some inspiration for tweets.
Always love to see other people building in public.
Congrats on the launch and enjoy the journey 🚀
@crebuh thank you! Yeah that was my goal and it's quite fun to see what others people started tweeting too - or something it shows you that they didn't start very strong so it made me de-dramatize 😅
