Turn Tweet IDs into Twitter JSON from your desktop!

Hydrator is an Electron based desktop application for hydrating a Twitter ID dataset. Twitter's Terms of Service do not allow the full JSON for tweets to be distributed to third parties. However they do allow datasets of tweet IDs to be distributed. Hydrator helps you turn these tweet IDs back into JSON from the comfort of your desktop.

This is (obviously) a work in progress. If you are interested in learning more please join us in Slack.
