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

@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.

@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 FeedLand by @davew uses the River metaphor.

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.
https://feedland.com/ is the place to start.

@tg @brentsimmons Some mobile apps, like OpenVibe and Tapestry, also stitch RSS feeds into the social stream alongside Bluesky, Threads, and Mastodon posts. Also essentially the River metaphor.

@davew @cagrimmett @brentsimmons it's amazing that someone didn't know about something someone made on the internet?

@tg @brentsimmons I built a feed reader called Stream that gives you a river of news view. That’s it. No list of blogs. Just a stream of news with a detail view when you select a row. It’s iOS only at the moment but it is coming for Mac.

@tg A beautifully put together and presented essay. I have been playing with Reeders new look and Tapestry on Mac's and iOS. It feels easier on me, in that the anxiety drops off as the numbers disappear. I go back to the more familiar layout, and I lean towards the free flow…miss some…that's OK.
I'd be interested to see/test/try/learn more of what you are building.

@ctt thank you kindly for the offer! Soon!

@cptpudding I’m sorry. I need to get signed up to a special Apple program that will let me list things in the EU App Stores. 😔

@fahrni Yes, the classic EU debate. I didn’t think you’d deliberately excluded us but I liked the app idea.

@cptpudding I’ve applied to the program but Apple kicked it back to me asking for more information and I’ve been dragging my feet.

@tg love this essay (including the presentation)!
As a lover of RSS to acquire and consume news, I’m definitely interested in what you are looking to build.
I’ve been a Reeder app user for years and love the clean styling. It does seem as though @rizzi may have had similar ideas as his redesigned Reeder. omits most feed counts and even includes options to hide the single count of newer items above your position in the timeline.

@tg @brentsimmons This was beautiful in every way, thank you!

@mayo @cagrimmett @tg @brentsimmons
could you post a screen shot of what you're looking at? i have a feeling you're describing a different product. ;-)

@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 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

Benvenuto Peter, speriamo che te ne torni a casa in fretta... e magari freddo.
