window.performance.now polyfill
'use strict';
// @license http://opensource.org/licenses/MIT
// copyright Paul Irish 2015
// Added code by Aaron Levine from: https://gist.github.com/Aldlevine/3f716f447322edbb3671
// Some modifications by Joan Alba Maldonado.
// as Safari 6 doesn't have support for NavigationTiming, we use a Date.now() timestamp for relative values
// if you want values similar to what you'd get with real perf.now, place this towards the head of the page
// but in reality, you're just getting the delta between now() calls, so it's not terribly important where it's placed

jalbam / print-usernames-twitter.js
Last active February 26, 2024 16:54
Code to show usernames of people you are following on Twitter, being able to choose certain filters to skip some users (and even skip followers or non-followers)
/*
Show user names of people you are following on Twitter, being able to choose certain filters to skip some users (and even skip followers or non-followers).
This will work for new Twitter web site code structure (it was changed from July 2019).
Instructions:
1) The code may need to be modified depending on the language of your Twitter web site:
* For English language web site, no modification needed.
* For Spanish language web site, remember to set the 'LANGUAGE' variable to "ES".
* For another language, remember to set the 'LANGUAGE' variable to that language and modify the 'WORDS' object to add the words in that language.
