Someone drops an X link in a group chat. You tap it, and instead of the post you get a login

screen. The post is public. You just can't read it.

That happened to me often enough that I built a way around the reading part, and then put it

online for anyone else who wanted it: twitterviewer.net. I'm the

person who makes and maintains it, so treat this as a maker's introduction rather than a review.
