> This makes it impossible to build tools that, say, allow you to visualize a tweet thread
it is possible -- it unfortunately happens to be part of my job description to do so
one of the sibling comments basically has it right. you can build it from the bottom up (where "bottom" is the deepest tweet in the thread you know about, one way or another).
let me tell you though, i am _very_ excited for this new API, because there is some absolutely horrible code i will be able to delete as a result of it
