Tapestry from the Iconfactory is out! Of course I love that it supports Micro.blog. And it makes me happy just seeing developers experiment with new ways to mix open social platforms together.

@manton I’m having issues getting it to add my Micro.Blog account. I can sign in and approve but then it seems to lose the account when I move to another screen.

@philbowell @manton I ended up re-authorizing about 5 times and it has stuck, but yes, I experienced the similar.

@jagibson @manton feels like there’s a save button missing. When I move from this screen it goes.

@philbowell probably something in the Tapestry end, same for me. @chockenberry fyi and congrats!

@manton oh gosh. Not a good experience. Signing in was really painful. Replying too. Reeder is much better for Mb. Gonna give it a go tho.

@manton Wow. Not very impressed with Tapestry particularly given all the song and dance there’s been about it. Meanwhile the new Reeder app quietly came out a while ago and is streets ahead in every way. Design, UI and ease of use.

@phil @jag @manton Pressing "Add Feed" doesn't add the feed?

There are two phases: one where you authorize and verify that the account exists, and another where it's added to Tapestry.

@chockenberry ah, I didn’t realise that was the final step. It looked like that meant add another feed.

@chockenberry @philbowell @manton yeah, I could authorize via the micro.blog web flow. The feed would give me an error and I would have to go through authorization again. It’s working still right now after about 5 re-auth but will let you know if I have to do it again. Appreciate the work y’all did with the app!

@manton Logging in from an iPad is a nonstarter. One never gets past a tiny browser window, logged in there but not in the app. Flakey start. Also no mention in their copy of replying to things. Is this just a fancy feed reader?

@markstoneman As far as feed readers go, NetNewsWire does everything I need. One can even follow Bluesky and Mastodon feeds there, if that’s what you prefer. Just MacOS, iPad/iPhone iOS though.

@markstoneman Can you follow custom Bluesky feeds? Have not figured that one out yet.

@rom Good question. If it has a viable feed, NetNewsWire will find it.

@dennyhenke Makes sense.
