Has anyone written software to mirror their tweets to their own website? That is save static versions of them with the ability to update regularly?
— John-Mark Gurney (@encthenet) June 21, 2022I have most of the elements to implement it, which means I should probably just do it myself. Just not sure how I'll handle the threads. Or people replying to me, and my responses. I can't archive other people's tweets, but I guess I could embed them.
— John-Mark Gurney (@encthenet) June 21, 2022I think (from my limited time looking at it a couple years ago), the indieweb people who did something like this went the other way and mirrored from their blog *to* Twitter…which seemed pretty limiting to me for all the reasons you just brought up.

I’m pretty sure that many within the IndieWeb space have got this working with a variety of software, particularly using Bridgy for the responses. Here’s an outline of how I do it with WordPress https://boffosocko.com/2018/07/02/threaded-conversations-between-wordpress-and-twitter/
I’m always curious to see other implementations.
Interesting, not exactly what I was thinking of, but that is really nifty.
Wasn’t thinking of cross comments, just mirroring my Twitter feed to my blog so I can more link and host threads like a micro blog (and mirror so I have a copy of my Twitter feed).
In that case, maybe this? @ThreadReaderApp has support for the Micropub Spec so you can publish Twitter threads directly to your blog. (Or perhaps do both methods?)

Or, if you like micropub and want something less “thready” here’s another method using PESOS and tools like IFTTT:

All of those solutions interface with WordPress. I ended up doing a static site with Hyde:
funkthat.com/gitea/jmg/blog
So not sure how useful those would be. I have a feeling I need to make my own templates for doing this.
Because the pieces are all building blocks that interoperate, the broad outline should also work for SSGs. I see a few people mention implementations of micropub at https://indieweb.org/static_site_generator. IndieWeb chat can be helpful here too.
