Poking around at the contents of my birdsite account archive, courtesy @darius 's make-the-archive-readable tool, and I am realizing that what I want is to go through the unredacted version of its contents, pull out everything that is still worth reading, and put those up on my website as static, unrolled threads.
I need the unredacted version for this, because a lot of the time something worth reading starts as a reply to someone else, and I get why the existing tool doesn't show anything that was a reply to someone else, but it does show self-replies to those replies and that means I can find the good threads but the first sentence of whatever I was saying is missing :-(
@zwol oh interesting, sorry! I must have misremembered. Anyway it would pretty simple for someone to modify my tool to do what you're saying (I don't have the time or energy at the moment)
