What is twDisplayVicinity?

It works by presenting tweets that came before and after a specific tweet, providing additional context that could potentially reveal an entirely new perspective that wasn't previously understood from reading a single tweet. It proves really handy in comprehending a user's train of thought or detecting patterns in their Twitter conversation.

Extension summary

On Twitter's official website (https://twitter.com/*), display tweets before and after a specific tweet in timeline format. It is useful when you want to know what the same person is tweeting about before and after a tweet.

==========

  • Retweeted
  • Introduced in blogs etc.
  • Hit with search engine

You might not know what tweets were around before and after. If you can read the tweets before and after, you may be able to see an unexpected context you did not understand from a single tweet.

When installing this extension, the "vicinify(neighbor)" link will be displayed when you see Twitter's timeline or single tweet. By clicking on this link, a separate tab / another window opens, you can see the timeline before and after that tweet.

ずっと使わせていただいて感謝しています。 ここ数か月、「ユーザータイムラインを表示」の設定で使用するとhttps://twitter.com/sakura_ariake/with_replies?max_id=(数字)のページに飛んでも「@(ユーザ名)さんはまだツイートしていません」と表示されるのみになってしまい、「検索タイムラインを表示」の機能を用いる必要のある状況が頻繁に発生します(後者だと、@(ユーザ名)の前後のRTを追えず文脈が不明で少し使いづらい) この原因がおま環なのかTwitterの仕様変更が原因のどちらなのか分かりますか?

Twitter側の問題かもしれませんが突然使えなくなりました。助かっていただけに残念です。

この機能は非常に使いやすく、「単独のツイートからではわからなかった思わぬ文脈が見えてくる」ところが非常に便利です。 そしてこの拡張機能自体の欠陥ではないのですが、ごく最近(1~数ヶ月ぐらい前から)TweetDeckでこの機能を使用すると 「次の https://tweetdeck.twitter.com/favicon.ico?_temporary_page=true のウェブページは見つかりませんでした」とエラー表示されるようになってしまいました。 みなさんがレビューしている「アイコンのページに飛ぶ」現象は起きていても、そのあとリダイレクトか何かでちゃんとツイッターのページに飛んでいたので気にしてなかったのですが、便利で愛用しているだけに少し辛いです。 なお使用ブラウザはGoogle Chrome バージョン: 112.0.5615.121(Official Build) (64 ビット)です。
