/me is fighting infinite scrolling, high latency and various undesirable consequences thereof by writing scripts to download and combine GNU social's paginated timeline views into local static html. it's been very satisfying, a lot less stressful after wrong clicks, reboots, browser restarts, page reloads/unloads, and for offline reading.
I think I'm going to extend and use them to archive my timeline locally, the same way I archive email. I hope I'm not hammering the server too hard.
