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…

@pphahnl the struggle is real!

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 @simon_w @irix @brentsimmons @Iconfactory you /should/ be proud! it's an incredible app!

@provuejim @brentsimmons my goodness, those numbers would have me sweating!

@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.

@Alberto @electricsheep @matz @simone @marcoboh @bradipo eh sì infatti l'ho scritto, a questo punto se proprio serve piuttosto Alipay (e non è che sia tanto meglio, ma piuttosto che i tecnonazisti americani)

@ilsimoneviaggiatore partendo dal principio che il costo sia compatibile con Google Drive e Microsoft Sharepoint, e che in effetti si riesca davvero a editare i file word ed excel (pensate quanto ci ha messo Google per avere un risultato decente...) la cosa sarebbe sì interessante. Però secondo me quello che servirà è una massa critica di aziende, noi utenti finali contiamo poco...

@ilsimoneviaggiatore grazie, ho capito. Quindi è un argomento di scarso interesse per l'utente comune, ma di alto interesse per le PMI

Cito una parte interessante:
Se Office EU si basa su Nextcloud Hub, che senso ha installarlo? Nextcloud Hub è una soluzione che si installa on-premises su server propri (Linux, Docker, macchine virtuali), offrendo pieno controllo e privacy senza dipendenze cloud esterne. Office EU ha senso per chi non vuole gestire installazioni, aggiornamenti, backup o scalabilità in autonomia, specialmente PMI e utenti con poche competenze nel settore IT. Si propone come una versione di Nextcloud Hub “pronta all’uso” europea, con integrazioni ottimizzate e zero complicazioni, mantenendo piena conformità con il GDPR.

Come comico indubbiamente un fuoriclasse. Come persona probabilmente meno, anche se aver creato Telethon è un bonus a suo favore (qui citavo la reunion con #DeanMartin avvenuta in quell'occasione https://mastodon.uno/@fucinafibonacci/115779836904620380). Ma anche come attore aveva il suo perché. #JerryLewis nasceva 100 anni fa. Re per una notte (1983) - TokyVideo https://www.tokyvideo.com/it/video/re-per-una-notte-1983

Ho una fame nervosa che sto per urlare. Credo che potrei addentare il braccio di qualcuno.
