Congratulations to my friends at The Iconfactory and Golden Hill Software. Tapestry and Unread are listed in today’s Best New Apps and Updates on the Mac App Store.

One of the things I really love about Tapestry is the ability to color code my feed types. It’s fun and makes it easy to distinguish which social platform the post is from.

@gedeonm@mastodon.social Thanks for the boost! I was very clumsy about this release. I’m tired from the move and working long hours at work. I just needed to get it out. I need to, at the very least, make a blog post announcing it and I need to update the Stream site. But, it’s finally out there!

I spent over 20-years developing in C++ so a lot of what the video talks about feels natural to me. However, I haven’t written code everyday in C++ since around 2011 so all the stuff from C++ 11 onward is kind of an unknown. Most codebases I worked in used very few std library classes. Mostly std::string, std::vector, and std::map. Sure, there were others, but those are the ones that pop into my head right away. https://toot.community/@justkwin/115695601915379356

Stream for Mac is available in the App Store if you’d like to try it? Remember, it’s very simple. Please forward your bugs and feature requests to me. I read them all and log them to my GitHub repo to consider later.

I had coffee with my daughter this morning. She turned me into a bear. 🐻

Things could get really interesting on Sunday. 🤣 I’ll believe it when I see it. I’m fine with it as long as the power stays on. I’m definitely getting a bunch of wood this week. 😁

@gedeonm@mastodon.social @bigzaphod@mastodon.social What do you fellas think about adding WordPress posting and edit support? I’m not sure how the UI would have to transform, but WordPress runs on like 60% of the internet and supports Mastodon. Anywho, just another crappy idea from Rob. Nothing to see here. Carry on.

I wonder how many days we’re going to be without power? That was one. I didn’t sleep much. Maybe I should go buy a generator? That would guarantee they’d show up to fix the power. 🤣

Our powers been out since 6:30’ish this morning. I was outside with the dogs and a transformer next to our house sparked, caught fire, and blew out. Turns out a small branch fell on it, caught up in the wired, and bam!

@gedeonm@mastodon.social @bigzaphod@mastodon.social You fellas need to look at TestFlight for the latest Stream build, for one reason. The icon. 😃 Don’t worry about installing it. Just look at that beautiful icon. 😍

@support@iconfactory.world I have a feature request for Tapestry! Allow us to post to multiple accounts at once! I’m thinking Mastodon and Bluesky! The app is amazing and has become my daily driver!

Inside our home 5G is terrible. Half the time we’re on a single bar of LTE. And sometimes in SOS mode. However, out by the shed I get decent 5G. This is where I live now. 🤣

I think I have Tapestry configured the way I want. I’ve made custom timelines for folks in the Apple Community and one I call Socials that is just Mastodon and Bluesky timelines. That’s the one I spend all my time in because I use Stream for RSS reading. Love it! ❤️

It’s probably just something I’m doing, but I dropped my beautifully crafted Iconfactory icon into my app, set it as the primary icon, built, and… It doesn’t show. 😳 Ok, Mac Devs, what have I done wrong? 😭

I haven't spoken about this at all, but today we sign paperwork for you new to us home. I'm hoping it's the final home, our forever home. It's smaller, older, and has more style than the one we're in, and it sits on 4 acres of land. Would anyone like to buy a house? Our current home goes on the market very soon. 😬

There was a time when Stream had some traction all because someone with a following said they liked it and it was featured by Apple not long after that. Now it’s scraping the bottom of the barrel. It is fine. It’s a very minimum app, intentionally and because of time constraints, but I will keep plugging away on it as time permits. Maybe one day it will be feature rich enough for people to enjoy. Until then I’ll keep hammering away at it.
