Tapestry App Offers Unified Timelines for Open Web Content

The new app aggregates feeds from social networks, blogs, podcasts, and more into customizable timelines, emphasizing flexibility and open web integration.

Tapestry, launched by the creators of Twitterrific, combines updates from platforms like Bluesky, Mastodon, RSS feeds, and podcasts into a single customizable timeline.
The app features tools like 'Connectors,' which allow developers to create custom feeds using JavaScript, though it currently lacks integration with closed platforms like Facebook and Instagram.
Users can configure multiple timelines for specific interests, such as separating social media updates from news or creating niche feeds like 'Apple news' or 'AI updates.'
Critics note that Tapestry's design prioritizes reading over interaction, as key functionalities like replying or reposting on social networks require switching to their native apps.
Tapestry reflects a growing trend of apps embracing the open web, offering tools to manage decentralized content during a transitional period for online platforms.
