For those not aware nitter is an opensource twitter frontend which has no ads or javascript.

Now it also bypasses the rate limits and other restrictions.

Uses a new bearer token and a new set of updated endpoints. Only thing missing is search.

Can someone who's less stupid than me at programming explain this? From my understanding "endpoints" is a term related to APIs but... nitter just scrapes the site, doesn't use the twitter API in any way

EDIT: nvm, the readme says they do use an "unofficial twitter api" of some sort
