How to migrate from Storify to Twitter Moments
Author: Alan Richardson
Storify are closing, and now it is time to migrate your Stories to Twitter Moments. That seems like a lot of work, so here is how you can partially automate the process with a tiny JavaScript snippet.
- Visit your Storify story that you want to migrate
- Right click and Inspect the page to show the developer tools
- Run the JavaScript below in the JavaScript console
- Copy the output from the console into your clipboard
- Create a Twitter Moment
- Inspect Element to open the JavaScript console in the Twitter Moment page
- Paste the code you copied into the Twitter Momment JavaScript Console
- Add Title, Description and Choose image
- Done - migrated
var outputStringForPastingIntoTwitter = "";
$('li[data-source="twitter"]').each(function( index ) {
outputStringForPastingIntoTwitter = outputStringForPastingIntoTwitter +
"$('.MomentMakerAddItemForm-input').val('" +
this.getAttribute('data-permalink') +
"');\n" +
"$('.MomentMakerAddItemForm-button').click()\n";});
console.log(outputStringForPastingIntoTwitter);
If you want to, you can copy the following bookmarklet to your bookmarks and then click on this on the storify page, you will still have to open the JavaScript console to copy and paste the code that will create the Moment in Twitter.
