Unroller Extension

This extension transforms long Twitter threads into a clean, readable, and printable format—right within your browser. Once activated on a Twitter thread, it automatically scrolls through all the tweets, collects their text (including quoted tweets and full URLs), and displays them in an easy-to-read blog-like view. You can then copy the entire text, print it as a PDF, or simply read it in a distraction-free environment. Additionally, the extension can reveal truncated tweets (“Show more” tweets) and integrate their fully expanded text into the final view, ensuring you never miss important details. It also provides functionality to pause and resume the unrolling process if the tab becomes inactive, offering a seamless experience even if you navigate away temporarily.

Key Features:

*Automatic Unrolling: Collects all tweets in a thread, including quoted tweets, and arranges them chronologically in a clean, scrollable modal view.

*Truncated Tweet Expansion: Detects \"Show more\" segments, clicks them automatically, and fetches the full tweet text.

*Image Integration: Captures and embeds tweet images. If an image cannot be accessed, a placeholder ensures layout consistency.

*Single-Page Reading Experience: Presents the entire thread as a unified “blog” view for easy reading.

*Copy & Print: Effortlessly copy all text to your clipboard or print the entire thread to PDF for offline reading or archiving.

*Resume After Inactivity: If you leave the tab during unrolling, the extension gracefully pauses and lets you resume the process, preserving the collected tweets.

*User-Friendly Controls: Buttons to copy text, print as PDF, close the modal, re-unroll the thread, and show/hide certain interface elements are all clearly provided.

Instructions for Use:

1. Open a Twitter Thread: Navigate to any tweet thread you wish to unroll. A thread page is typically a single tweet followed by multiple replies forming a conversation.

2. Activate Unroll: Click the “Unroll” button that appears in the top-right corner of your screen. The extension will begin reading and scrolling through the thread automatically.

3. Wait for Completion: The extension will process all tweets, including any “Show more” expansions. A loading message will appear until all content is ready.

4. Interact with the Result: Once unrolling is complete, a modal view will appear with the entire thread displayed in a blog-like format.

*Copy: Click the “Copy” button to copy all text to your clipboard for easy sharing or
saving.

*Print PDF: Click “Print PDF” to generate a PDF of the entire thread for printing or
archiving.

*Close: Click “Close” to return to the normal Twitter view.

*Re-Unroll: If desired, click “Re-unroll” to redo the process or refresh the content if the
thread updates.

5. Resume if Interrupted: If you switch tabs and return later, the extension may prompt you to “Resume.” Click “Resume” to continue unrolling where it left off.

6 .Complete Your Session: After you’re done, simply close the modal or navigate away. The extension automatically resets so you can use it again on a new thread.

By following these simple steps, you can effortlessly read, copy, and save entire Twitter threads with just a few clicks!
