Project overview
Nitter provides a self-hosted alternative frontend for reading Twitter/X without client-side JavaScript or ads. Requests are proxied through the server, reducing direct tracking exposure for visitors, and the interface also offers RSS feeds and responsive pages. Hosting an instance now requires session tokens from real Twitter accounts because earlier access methods were removed, along with Redis or Valkey and the usual reverse-proxy configuration.
