📊 Detect Who Unfollowed You

Want to know who stopped following you? Here's how:

Step 1: Go to Your Followers Page

https://x.com/YOUR_USERNAME/followers

Step 2: Run the Script

Open Developer Console and paste the contents of src/detectUnfollowers.js

Step 3: Run Again Later

The script saves a snapshot. Run it again (hours, days, weeks later) to see:

• 🚨 Who unfollowed you
• 🎉 Who started following you

How It Works

First run:  📸 Takes snapshot of all your followers
            💾 Saves to browser localStorage

Later runs: 📸 Takes new snapshot
            📊 Compares with previous
            📋 Shows who left / who's new
            📥 Downloads list of unfollowers

🔍 Monitor ANY Public Account

Want to track someone else's followers or following list? Use monitorAccount.js:

Track Who Follows Someone

https://x.com/elonmusk/followers
→ Run script
→ See who starts/stops following them

Track Who Someone Follows

https://x.com/elonmusk/following
→ Run script  
→ See who they follow/unfollow

Example Use Cases

• Track a competitor's new followers
• See who a celebrity unfollowed
• Monitor your favorite creator's following activity

Privacy Note

This only works on public accounts. Private accounts hide their follower/following lists.

🔄 Continuous Monitoring

Want real-time alerts? Use continuousMonitor.js:

Features

• ⏰ Automatic checking (default: every 5 minutes)
• 🔔 Browser notifications
• 🔊 Sound alerts
• 📊 Console logging

Configuration

Edit these values at the top of the script:

const CONFIG = {
  CHECK_INTERVAL_MINUTES: 5,     // How often to check
  ENABLE_NOTIFICATIONS: true,    // Browser notifications
  ENABLE_SOUND: true,           // Sound on changes
  AUTO_SCROLL: true,            // Load all users (slower but complete)
};

How to Use

1. Go to any /followers or /following page
2. Paste the script
3. Keep the tab open — it checks automatically
4. Get notified when someone follows/unfollows!

💾 Data Storage

All monitoring data is stored in your browser's localStorage:

• Data stays on YOUR computer
• Nothing is sent to any server
• Persists between browser sessions
• Clears if you clear browser data

View Stored Data

// See all XActions data
Object.keys(localStorage)
  .filter(k => k.startsWith('xactions'))
  .forEach(k => console.log(k, JSON.parse(localStorage[k])));

Clear All Data

// Remove all XActions snapshots
Object.keys(localStorage)
  .filter(k => k.startsWith('xactions'))
  .forEach(k => localStorage.removeItem(k));

⚠️ Limitations

1. Rate Limits: Scrolling too fast may trigger X's protections. The scripts have built-in delays.

2. Large Accounts: Accounts with 100k+ followers take a long time to scan. Consider using AUTO_SCROLL: false for quicker (partial) scans.

3. Private Accounts: Can't monitor private accounts — their lists are hidden.

4. Page Must Stay Open: For continuous monitoring, keep the browser tab open and active.

5. Browser Data: If you clear your browser data, snapshots are lost.

🤔 FAQ

Q: Is this against Twitter's rules? A: These scripts only read public information that's visible to anyone. They don't use any APIs or automation that would violate terms of service.

Q: Can people see that I'm monitoring them? A: No. You're just viewing public pages — same as any visitor.

Q: Why doesn't it show all followers? A: Large accounts take time to scroll through. Let the script run longer, or run it multiple times.

Q: The unfollower count seems wrong? A: Some accounts may have been suspended or deleted. They won't appear in the current scan.

💡 Pro Tips

1. Schedule checks: Run the detection script at the same time each day/week for consistent tracking.

2. Export data: The scripts download .txt files of unfollowers. Save these for long-term records.

3. Multiple accounts: Each account's data is stored separately, so you can monitor multiple accounts.

4. Use incognito: If you don't want data persisting, run in incognito mode (data clears when closed).
