| | | | | The 1.0 of Iconfactory's latest app, Tapestry, just landed. Like the new Reeder, it's a "unified timeline app", that collects feeds from many different sources, like RSS, Reddit, YouTube, Mastodon, and more. Some really like this idea (for instance for collecting Bluesky, Mastodon and Micro.blog in one place), while others don't. I'm not yet sure where I stand. I backed the Tapestry kickstarter way-back-when, so I've been able to beta test it. I like a lot of the ideas - and the way it handles feeds/connectors and default apps seems fascinating and robust. But due to some issues with the visual design, I've never been able to get into it... This post is my feedback letter to the devs, which might also be interesting to others. Edit: I got some feedback from Iconfactory on this post. That, and my response back, can be read in this blog post. Great designers I spent ?40 on the Kickstarter - but even if I'll never get into the app, I won't call it a complete waste. Because Iconfactory is a cool company, that I don't mind supporting. And they are excellent designers! So when I disagree with things about their work, I'm, of course, a bit nervous, heh. Mini Gang, unite ??? I'm still rocking my trusty ol' iPhone 13 Mini. And I think part of my issues stem from me using a phone that's probably smaller than what they've optimised for. I also get that it's a 1.0, and that much of the work has gone into some really cool tech on the backend. So I hope it's possible to see that this feedback comes from a place of love, and hope for the future! And I get that many might like the things I don't. So I think the answer is more customisation - like this settings screen from Mona: Messy and cramped I like colourful designs. And Tapestry has this neat idea, where it gives timeline entries different colours depending on the type. Here: Mastodon, Bluesky and RSS feeds ("Blog"). This is what it looks like when I just browse my blogs, like a regular RSS reader. It might not come across perfectly in screenshots, but with my Mini phone in hand, I find a combination of things here unpleasant. | |
