🔖 Feature description

Current tweet download capability is a bit lacking: it can save tweet text, but no images or videos.

You should add ability to download images (and videos too if possible - tweets with images are more common than videos), and embed them in the tweet md file.

✔️ Solution

For many tweets, it's the images/videos that is the main content. Inability to download those media defeats the purpose of downloading the tweet for local use, because I still have to click the link to view he media online in the browser. And it takes some time to load as well.

❓ Alternatives

  • I have considered using Obsidian Local Images plugin plugin to manually download images for each tweet, but that doesn't work because image links in the tweets don't directly link to image files.
  • I also considered using Firefox Markdownload plugin, but that also doesn't work, probably for the same reason as above. (Note: it can download the text of a tweet thread)

📝 Additional Context

When pasting webpage URL, your plugin already is able to download both text and images embedded. It's expected that it can also download images for tweets.

We are currently limited by Twitter Publish API which provides only embedding of content. However, I'm going to enhance Twitter parser by parsing HTML DOM of Nitter. So media, threads or other useful metadata will be available.
