Open-source Rewind for X extension logs every post you scroll past so refreshes stop losing good tweets
dotey · x · 2026-11-10
Developer yetone released Rewind for X, an open-source (MIT) Chrome extension that solves the classic X problem: refreshing the home timeline and losing a post you were half-reading. It silently logs every post that scrolls past on your home feed for later review and search from a sidebar drawer.
- A post counts as "seen" when over half is visible; it records author, text, images, quoted posts, reposts, and links
- Only the home timeline is recorded — ads, detail pages, and profiles are skipped
- Clicking a post opens it in a new tab; data stays local (chrome.storage.local), capped at 3,000 entries with one-click clear
- README includes install steps and Playwright-based e2e tests
