With Project Tapestry, we’ll create a universal, chronological timeline for iOS for any data that’s publicly available on the Internet. A service-independent overview of your social media and information landscape. Point the app toward your services and feeds, then scroll through everything all in one place to keep up-to-date and to see where you want to dive deeper. When you find something that you want to engage with or reply to, Tapestry will let you automatically open that post in the app of your choice and reply to it there. Tapestry isn’t meant to replace your favorite Mastodon app or RSS reader, but rather to complement them and help you figure out where you want to focus your attention.
Excited to see this from the Iconfactory. I remember using Socialite over a decade ago, and I would love to see a modern version of this concept!
My first Mac: 2008 Unibody MacBook
Favorite Mac I ever owned: 14” M1 MacBook Pro

I made the 6 hour drive out to Chicago to go to the Genshin Impact concert. It was an incredible experience getting to hear the music of Teyvat from a live orchestra!
I also put together a playlist from the concert which you can find here.
I picked up the Horizon Zero Dawn LEGO set on a Black Friday deal, and what a neat build this is. The model makes for a great display piece.
Decided to use some of my Microsoft reward points on the Starfield limited edition controller. Love this one, look at those clear triggers!
Starfield looks like a game I’m going to sink a ridiculous amount of time into. September 6th can’t come soon enough!
A notification popped up on my iPad saying that it was no longer being backed up, so I did a bit of investigation into my iCloud storage. Turns out that Genshin Impact and Honkai Star Rail are backing up their entire contents to iCloud, which seems pretty unnecessary. That’s 60+GB between my iPhone and iPad! iOS offers a toggle for backups on a per-app basis, at least.
On a related note, it sure would be nice if we had a few more options for iCloud storage. There’s a pretty big gap between $2.99/200GB and $9.99/2TB. I would love to see a 500GB or 1TB option.
New Apple things I’m most excited for:
- Interactive widgets. Should have been there from the start.
- StandBy. Time to buy a bunch of charging stands to place around the home!
- Journal app. I’ve been looking for a solution to replace Day One, looks like this will fill that gap perfectly for me.
Apple Vision Pro looks incredible and I’d love to give it a try, but the $3500 price tag is just too much. Here’s hoping we’ll see a non-Pro “Apple Vision” a few years down the road at a much lower cost.
