quick thing i made in response to remix trees getting removed. this uses the scratch api's /projects/[id]/remixes endpoint to recursively fetch a project's remixes (so it shouldn't show any deleted projects) and then displays it as a remix tree (either the one ripped straight from Scratch, or a text-based barebones format).
it does not use the old (and removed) remixtree or remixtree/bare endpoints at all.
there's also a JSON import/export option for analysis and/or later viewing, as said fetching does take a while for large remix trees (though you can also stop scanning partway through if you don't need every remix).

I was just in the process of making my own remix tree viewer nooo now I can't be the first one…
cool

This would definitely be a helpful tool for me. Would using remixtree/bare be a better way to make this work?

It would certainly be faster, but it will probably be removed by the ST at some point. It was already returning 404s a few days ago.

Wait huh, bare urls are working right now? I thought they also got removed.

They work, but I think it’s only a matter of time before they get removed as well. At the very least the text-only format they have doesn’t let you see inappropriate thumbnails the same way the actual remix tree did.

oh, i thought they were removed
(i guess i'll add a feature to make use of it while it still exists)

remixtree/bare seems to be unstable. Someone said it was returning 404 errors a few days ago and even though it worked a few hours ago now it’s 404ing again, so the ST must be trying to figure out what to do with it.

this is the best thing ever

try on project 1233, there is an infinite remix loop or something

Hmmmm, they both cut off at certain points when there is lots of remixes on one page (a good demo is the google logo by TheAwesomeGuy2016 project, because it is the beginning of a remix chain with 205 remixes with surprisingly little branchs.)
