Yesterday I wondered aloud why RSS readers look like email clients.
@brentsimmons replied. Turns out he borrowed that layout for NetNewsWire in 2002 — and twenty years later, he's asking why no one's tried something different.
That conversation became an essay. I built a visual version (with an ASCII fallback).

@tg @brentsimmons I also struggled with the „x unread email“-stress I felt from many RSS Clients. But then I installed Reeder 4 on iOS and found out: it’s so much better than all the other clients. No red tags with 1200 unread items…

I had to check, but I must have disabled the NNW badge when the open source version was published years ago. Maybe because of this.
Still, books have bookmarks. If I use it as a library, the feed counts tell me what page I’m on.

@tg @irix @brentsimmons #TapestryApp by @Iconfactory is the first I’ve seen that tries something different (treats them as feed items) and that was already getting copied by other apps once it was announced

@tg @brentsimmons These days my RSS unread count is fluctuating between 980 and 1100 😳 At this moment, my email unread is 998. BTW, a large percentage of my email is “phantom” obligation. In fact, probably 90% of it.
Oh, hi Brent. Here’s some more phantom obligation for you.

@simon_w @tg @irix @brentsimmons @Iconfactory Thanks for the shoutout. RSS doesn’t have to look like email at all, I think we’ve done a good job of demonstrating that. I’m pretty proud of Tapestry. Designing it was one of the most fun, and toughest challenges I’ve ever had.

@gedeonm @Iconfactory wow, that looks amazing. Shame nothing like that exists on android that I have found.

thanks chuck. it's amazing to me someone could say something like that but that's where we are, a time when people just believe there's nothing new.

@simone @Alberto @electricsheep @matz @marcoboh @bradipo sì non c'è via di scampo, siamo ingabbiati
(Vedi il caso della Albanese e le banche etiche)
(Le stesse banche sono oscure sui motivi di blocchi, non sono molto trasparenti)
Non sempre puoi farne a meno... Si cerca di fare meno danno e se possibile non avvantaggiare solo uno, perché peggio dell'oligopolio c'è il monopolio, è farsi proprio male, oltre che questione di etica (che non sminuisco) diventa di convenienza
