We’re back with another major Tapestry update chock full of features and improvements that you are sure to love. There’s a ton of new, exciting things in this release including some that have been requested since the app’s launch – so let’s get straight to it!
Likes, boosts, and bookmarks. Oh my!
That’s right, now you can perform specific actions such as liking, reblogging, favoriting, boosting, and bookmarking directly from the Tapestry timeline. All your favorite social media feeds are supported including Bluesky, Mastodon, Tumblr, and Micro.blog.
Developers can also build actions into their own third party connectors, making them even more powerful than before. Being able to favorite posts, quickly reblog content from your favorite authors and natively bookmark items for future reference is a welcome addition to Tapestry. Be sure to check out our knowledge base for more info about connector actions.
New ways to customize your feeds
Fulfilling a long-time user request, individual feeds can now be set to display in expanded, collapsed, or mini mode, making the timeline quicker to scan. You can also turn the service name off for individual feeds, something we’ve now done by default on RSS/JSON feeds – say goodbye to “Blog”!
Configuring custom timelines now also includes the option to “exclude feeds.” This makes it easier than ever to setup a timeline that has almost all your feeds but omits the ones you choose. This is perfect for when you follow a particularly busy hashtag, but don’t want all those posts to appear in a given timeline.
Tapestry’s new sound effects are music to our ears
Enjoy Tapestry’s new audio cues that help you navigate and take action. Tapestry plays unique audio alerts after refreshing the timeline, when using the new social media actions, or expanding and collapsing items.
Tapestry’s sounds are a joy to use and were crafted by Andre Louis, the creator of Twitterrific’s sound effects. We’re pleased to feature Andre’s excellent work once again, but if you prefer silence, you can easily turn sound effects off in Settings > Behavior.
There’s so much more!
Other notable goodies include the ability to open all links in Reader Mode, and new long-press menus let you take a closer look at user avatars and share links. There are multiple improvements to VoiceOver, a ton of fun new custom app icons, and so much more. We’ve also enabled the ability to run Tapestry on Apple Vision Pro: it’s experimental and unsupported but will be a welcome change for customers with the new headset.
