Yup, as confirmed by the author[0]. Also, it's opensource, 'dweet card' template shows that it uses iframes[1].

FWIW, they do support some Open Graph markup as a fallback [0]

We've gone full circle! This thing started as a stand-alone HTML page for dweets with ability to embed the code in the URL: http://arkt.is/t (hover to show editor). GitHub: https://github.com/sigvef/arktis-tweet-demo . Here it is with the same dweet embedded: http://arkt.is/t/Yy53aWR0aHw9MDtmb3Iobj0yMDA7bi09MS82NDt4LmZ... .

Incidentally, this is where the "dwitter" name came from: "demos" as in the demoscene (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demoscene) and twitter.


I've never heard of dweets/dwitter before; thanks for sharing. For anyone else:

Dwitter.net is a challenge to see what awesomeness you can create when limited to only 140 characters of javascript and a canvas. Give it a go!

https://www.dwitter.net/


The level of detail in this makes me doubt the claim (0 lines of code), but assuming it is true: really well done.

For those who are wondering if its just a login page: you can register an account (login is automatic on registration, and email verification is not required). The entire UI is almost exactly same as twitter.

Yes. And lots of it is open source: https://github.com/twitter

Sounds like Tweetdeck, but less useful because only works with facebook.

One can also embed tweet with nitter by adding /embed in the end and with iframe tag. Eg: https://nitter.fly.dev/mhevery/status/1606438382561026049/em...

yes.. twitter released it a few months ago, Blackbird Pie. http://media.twitter.com/blackbird-pie/

edit: actually they use the Blackbird Pie wordpress plugin http://themergency.com/twitter-blackbird-pie-wordpress-plugi...


yes, but we're not building a client for twitter. it's a clone :)

Wow--this exists?

I had heard of Tweetdeck, but I assumed that it was a third-party client which provided a better experience and was therefore at odds with Twitter's interests. You're telling me that, not only is Twitter okay with it, but that they built it?


And the documentation for the embed api on their website https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/twitter-for-websites/e...


Tweetdeck specifically still seems to be working - but since that’s an alternative first-party client it’s an exceptional case.

Yes. I use this fantastic Twitter gem by John Nunemaker: http://twitter.rubyforge.org/

You can also use Tweetdeck.

Yes. I don’t use Tweetdeck, though. I just use the website.

Also, here’s a nice way to just get the tweets from people you follow: use the realtwitter.com redirect, then click “Latest.”


http://intotweets.com is another product that is making use of the pinterest layout. It displays tweets with in place content, such as video, images, or website previews.

I'm still undecided if it's a good thing or not as to the experience it provides.


From a purely technical perspective they could using platform.twitter.com/widgets.js that the blog includes.

It's good. One thing I feel is missing is embedding images into the tweets. Are there any plans for that?
