I've updated the G+ migration tool to let people add and remove +1s on posts.
Here's a live example:
https://apps-script-community-archive.firebaseapp.com/
You need to sign-in first, to link the +1 to your Google account when recorded in the database.
This is just an example to show that this kind of G+ data export could be used as a real, live copy of G+ and not just a "read-only" archive.

I've updated the G+ migration tool to display all posts & comments (not just previews), very similar to the behaviour in G+.
Here are 2 live examples:

https://romainvialard-public.firebaseapp.com/
Other updates:
- The migration script has been updated to migrate more content in less time
- You receive an email at the end of the migration with the number of posts retrieved
- In the web app, a notification is displayed when you reach the bottom of the page and it starts to load more posts.
If you want to try the tool to migrate content out of G+, here's the tutorial:

First post in a series, on how to capture and export your Google+ content.
An upcoming post will deal with how to transform and import that content onto a new platform.
Time is ticking and the deadline for exporting is looming closer every day. The current word is that some of the G+ APIs will disappear already at the end of January, while the service itself will shut down at end of March.

Don't want to lose the valuable content you have created in Google+?
Here's a tutorial to export all data from a G+ community and display it via Firebase.
Example with the Google Apps Script community:
https://apps-script-community-archive.firebaseapp.com/
If you are not satisfied by the exports available via Google Takeout, don't hesitate to try this solution - it should take you 15 min to trigger the export and you don't need to install anything on your computer. Plus it's free.
Note that this method uses the Google+ API, which will start failing as soon as January 28, 2019. So I would advise to try to export your data before this date.
Also note that you can use this tutorial to export all your posts - it is not specifically restricted to a community. Here's an example with my own profile:

Request for Clarifications from Google on the Google+ Shutdown
I have developed a backchannel for getting feedback to the Google+ development team and am working with an informal team of volunteers to improve the flow of communications on Google+ shutdown priorities. This is the first public post regarding that process.
Our first priority -- and the focus of this post -- is getting clarification on a number of open issues having to do with the shutdown. Next up will be a focus on specific feature requests to improve Takeout and the resulting exported Google+ data. After that, we will turn to specific bugs that people are experiencing with Google+ Takeout data.
Your Feedback:
The Google Doc document linked to at the bottom of this post outlines a number of open questions for Google on the Google+ shutdown process as well as Google+ Takeout data. Please review it. If, after reading it, you have additional questions that you believe would benefit the broader Google+ community, please feel free to add that in a comment here.
To help us assess priorities, please plus others' comments that you believe are important.
I will be strictly moderating comments to keep the feedback on topic. To help us with this process, please keep your feedback pragmatic and focused on just the most important issues. The Google+ team is no doubt overwhelmed balancing many priorities right now, so we increase the odds of fixing things if we try to stay focused on what matters most. In describing your issue, please be concise and clear with your description (try to use the bullets in the document below as a model format). This will make it easier for us to incorporate your feedback for the Google+ team.
Sharing this post:
If you decide to share this post, (which I encourage you to do to help get the word out) please disable comments on your share and direct people back to this original post for their comments. It's just too much work to monitor and track feedback on lots and lots of different shares of this post. We will also have a few people sharing this post on a handful of communities and monitoring and incorporating comments from there.
Limitations:
To be clear, there is no guarantee that Google will be able to resolve all the issues that this feedback process identifies. With that said, I have reason to believe that the team is listening and that this informal feedback process is a worthwhile expenditure of energy.
It takes a community...
This process has taken, and will continue to take, a bunch of work by me and people like Julian Bond, Luc Jallois, Michael K Johnson, John Lewis, Edward Morbius, Bernhard Suter, and Filip H.F. Slagter. If you’re interested in helping, please let us know. We are particularly interested in people who have spent time digging into the Takeout data, but could also just use help getting the word out as we gather input from Google+ users.

Update 8 on the migration 2018-10-30:
Time to move on
Our MeWe Philosophy Group, linked below, is buzzing with activity, intelligent conversations, and probing posts and comments. It seems that most participants have already got used to the user interface and can comfortably navigate the web site and effectively use its many features.
At this time, a MeWe group appears be the one we will move to once G+ is no more. Because of that, I am going to lay down the roadmap to the final migration in August 2019.
Roadmap to the final migration to MeWe
On Jan 01, 2019
1- I will switch the ‘Join’ community membership setting to ‘Ask to join’ state from Jan 01, 2019 forward. New members will need to contact me directly if they need to join this G+ community.
2- New members will also be asked to acknowledge the fact that Google Plus will be shut down in August 2019 (using a template comment). If they don’t get back to me in 24 hours, I will remove them from the G+ community.
3- I will start asking the authors of new posts to kindly post their material in our MeWe Philosophy Group instead, if they can, before approving their posts. I will use a fixed templated for the text of that message.
On Apr 01 2019
1- I will not accept any new G+ community members here anymore from April 01, 2019 forward. All new members will be asked to join our MeWe Philosophy Group.
2- Posts that are approved in this G+ community will be given one week to be cross-posted into our new MeWe Philosophy Group. If they are not cross-posted after the grace period is passed, then they will be deleted, regardless of any criterion. I will leave a template-comment under all new posts to remind the authors of this.
On Jun 01, 2019
1- Posts will be accepted by the current members if and only if they are also cross-posted by the same author in the MeWe Philosophy Group from June 01, 2019 forward.
I will leave a template-comment under new-unapproved posts asking the author to cross-post first, wait for 24 hours for the cross-post to appear in our MeWe Philosophy Group, and then approve the post in G+ if the cross-post is made successfully.
2- All other posts that are not cross-posted after the 24 hours grace period will be rejected regardless of any criterion.
On Jul 01, 2019
No new post will be accepted in the G+ Phil. Community from Jul 01, 2019 forward, regardless of any criterion. The G+ Community will be frozen as is. Only comments can be made by members.
In Aug 2019
Google will shut down Google Plus. By then, the most active members should have been comfortably migrated to MeWe and most important posts should have been archived by their authors and enthusiasts.
Please comment below if you think something needs to be changed and you have good reasons for why.
Thank you!

Roadmap to the final migration to MeWe
On Jan 01, 2019
1- I will switch the ‘Join’ community membership setting to ‘Ask to join’ state from Jan 01, 2019 forward. New members will need to contact me directly if they need to join this G+ community.
2- New members will also be asked to acknowledge the fact that Google Plus will be shut down in August 2019 (using a template comment). If they don’t get back to me in 24 hours, I will remove them from the G+ community.
3- I will start asking the authors of new posts to kindly post their material in our MeWe Philosophy Group instead, if they can, before approving their posts. I will use a fixed templated for the text of that message.
On Apr 01 2019
1- I will not accept any new G+ community members here anymore from April 01, 2019 forward. All new members will be asked to join our MeWe Philosophy Group.
2- Posts that are approved in this G+ community will be given one week to be cross-posted into our new MeWe Philosophy Group. If they are not cross-posted after the grace period is passed, then they will be deleted, regardless of any criterion. I will leave a template-comment under all new posts to remind the authors of this.
On Jun 01, 2019
1- Posts will be accepted by the current members if and only if they are also cross-posted by the same author in the MeWe Philosophy Group from June 01, 2019 forward.
I will leave a template-comment under new-unapproved posts asking the author to cross-post first, wait for 24 hours for the cross-post to appear in our MeWe Philosophy Group, and then approve the post in G+ if the cross-post is made successfully.
2- All other posts that are not cross-posted after the 24 hours grace period will be rejected regardless of any criterion.
On Jul 01, 2019
No new post will be accepted in the G+ Phil. Community from Jul 01, 2019 forward, regardless of any criterion. The G+ Community will be frozen as is. Only comments can be made by members.
In Aug 2019
Google will shut down Google Plus. By then, the most active members should have been comfortably migrated to MeWe and most important posts should have been archived by their authors and enthusiasts.
Please comment below if you think something needs to be changed and you have good reasons for why.
Thank you!

I got a new update on my android phone for Google Duo. Maybe it will stick around. I hope allo does too but unfortunately for me my family is stuck on facetime with their iphones. i don't understand why more don't use Duo since you can talk with both ios and android. I don't know of anyone who only have friends that use the same type of phone they have i.e. iphones or android.

Hi folks, I have a question about using Google Docs.
Hi folks, I have a question about using Google Docs. From the mobile app I can talk and the app will convert speech to text. I have not found a way to do that on desktop though. Am I missing something? I looked through the Add-ons catalog but didn't find anything. I know there are other ways to do this but I'm looking for a solution that works directly in Google Docs. Thanks!
