Okay, all you techie people of Mastodon whose posts I rarely understand, help an English major out:
I know that I can download all my #Facebook data.
But is there any way to set up an imitation of "Memories" privately with all that data, so that I can see what I've posted on a given day over the past [redacted] years?
If anyone wants to make a Fedithing that will do this, I'd happily subscribe. #Meta
@Julie I'm a sucker for adding new projects to my todo list, and I might just have to poke around with this idea too!
I've just requested my data to see what exactly is in there. At the end of the wizard, it asks you to select a format and defaults to HTML. Set this to JSON and it'll produce files any developer can work from. Also make sure the date range is set to all time.
I'll be digging through whatever it generates for me in the coming weeks. If I dev something, it'll be FOSS.
@dev_ric Sounds good!
@Julie also: if you have a copy exported as HTML, see if one of the file formats offered to open it is... a web browser. You can have a website on your own personal computer and just browse about it privately.
