I built TweetGrok Twitter Viewer because Twitter now requires login to view public content, which creates unnecessary friction for researchers, journalists, and casual users.
What it does:
View any public Twitter profile and tweets — no account required.
Search tweets by keywords across public profiles.
Download Twitter videos in MP4 format.
Fully anonymous — no tracking or data collection.
Tech stack:
Next.js 14 (App Router) for fast server-side rendering.
Tailwind CSS for styling.
Hosted on Vercel Edge runtime for low-latency performance.
Twitter API integration via proxy.
Why I built it:
Since Twitter’s 2023 policy changes, even viewing a single public tweet requires an account. This is frustrating for anyone who just wants to quickly check a profile, share a link, or conduct research. TweetGrok removes that barrier while keeping browsing completely private.

It’s been in private beta for a month with positive feedback. Today it’s launching publicly: https://tweetgrok.ai/twitter-viewer
Happy to answer any questions about how it works or its implementation.
