Besides music one thing I absolutely love to do is make sounds for apps. Recently I made sounds for @Iconfactory #Tapestry.
In years gone by I created sounds for #Twitterrific for Mac (also from The Iconfactory), #BlindSquare for iOS, TWBlue and Chicken Nugget for PC and quite a few others.
If you've been thinking of sounds for something you're working on but don't know exactly what could work, I'd be happy to chat with you about it.

Don’t mind me. Just feeling super nostalgic today; really missing this guy and what he represented.

Update: no, the Iconfactory sticker is not damaged. Just reflection of overhead light that I failed to notice before posting.

Iconfactory, the company behind Twitterrific, launched its multi-feed app called Tapestry today, which lets you add sources like Bluesky, Mastodon, YouTube, Reddit, RSS, Podcasts, Tumblr, and more to unified feeds.

Si os soy sincero, me parece bien que La Gente™ se pase a Bluesky: las cuentas tienen RSS que puedes seguir desde tu cliente favorito sin tener que pisar la aplicación.
Con el nuevo #Reeder (no el Classic) de @rizzi puedes seguir las cuentas de Bluesky, cuando accedes al detalle te salen los comentarios, etc. Aunque también quiero ver el sustituto de #Twitterrific de @Iconfactory, que pinta similar.

Long live Ollie!! 🥰 #Twitterrific https://social.lol/@atog/112712265374848865

One of the things I loved most about #Twitterrific was that my timeline was always in one place and I have had to scroll down into the past, but always up into the future. I am not a fan of always walking into the newest in the web interface. :-/

N.I.B. One million dollars. No lowballs. Ollie knows what he’s worth. 🐦

Elon Musk Gutted Their App. Now They Want To Make One That’s Billionaire-Proof: Tapestry will be RSS

"Twitterrific was our flagship app, and by far earned the most of any of our pieces of software we’ve produced. Its loss is still being felt revenue-wise to this day. We're hopeful that Tapestry will help us regain some of that ground and help us keep our company healthy, doing the things we love to do — developing great, friendly and useful apps for iOS and macOS."
The linked article though is quite interesting in what it reveals from all of this. When you consider both Twitter and Reddit did this to their users and 3rd party devs, there is a trend towards these more private centralised social networks to have restrictions in the way of 3rd party access. Whilst on the decentralised social networks the trend tends to be using an open protocol, and usually also supporting open RSS feeds.
So, Tapestry is tapping into this more open ecosystem: "This isn't really a social media client directly in the mold of Twitterrific; instead, it's a single place to view online stuff that matters, and it mostly uses open standards like ActivityPub and RSS. Luckily for them, they've already reached their $100,000 minimum funding goal."
Its intention is not to replace any existing clients, although with all the decentralised social networks I've been involved with, their devs all openly encourage having different 3rd party client apps.
But it's what is not directly stated in the linked article that concerns me the most, and I've heard others also echoing this sentiment, especially some journalists who have "jumped ship" from Twitter to Mastodon and other networks. The issue is around quality content creation, especially news. It's not that there is no such news on the decentralised social networks, it's that there are still too many mainstream news services, journalists, and governments stuck fast on Twitter, Reddit, etc. So many users are also just stuck in their bubble in the same places.
We do really need to see that final seismic shift across to embracing an open and decentralised social network ecosystem. Certainly, the Fediverse, built on the ActivityPub protocol, is not the only option out there, but it is an open standard endorsed social network and has gained a lot of content and user traction.
The way I understand Tapestry, is that it would not only help provide an integrated (single) view of the Fediverse (yes most existing ActivityPub apps can also do that), but it can also seamlessly include discovering and following content from Bluesky, and many others, including potentially even Nostr (via RSS feeds).
So, Tapestry may help provide some cohesion and single view that many users and content creators, who are still stuck on Twitter, Reddit, etc, seem to crave/demand. Many such users are actually caught up in indecision over "where must I pick to move to". With something like Tapestry, that fear may disappear, and for creators such as news and governments they would be more easily "found and followed" through one single app like Tapestry.
Will it happen? I think so as the vast majority of users are often solely content consumers, and whilst it is true that to develop a high-quality app from the ground up takes cash, Iconfactory does have that experience and they have raised over US$100,000 to fund their app development.
Who knows, I'd expect this app to even go further, and start to support likes and comments for some of the networks it integrates with over time.

A popular third-party Twitter client, Twitterrific, is hoping to recover from its losses with a new app that combines your social media, news feeds and alerts into one experience.

App Store celebrates its 15th birthday.
The first app I ever downloaded from the #AppStore (according to the purchase history) was @bigzaphod's #Twitterrific.
It was THE app for #Twitter. Who would have thought back then that Twitter would be driven to ruin by a egomaniac manchild billionaire 15 years later? How enthusiastic and naive we were back then.
The second app was SmugShot for @d0n 's #SmugMug
(This initial account was an Austrian one and is no longer used regularly)

Bin gespannt, ob die #Twitterrific-Bude sich dem #Bluesky-Protokoll AT widmet.

Yesterday would have been my 14-year anniversary on #Twitter.
Since I only used the chronological timeline & read via #Twitterrific (and sometimes on the website via lists) it was always wonderful for me, right until I closed my account in December. But the ethical problems of staying were just too overwhelming.
And I'm very glad to have made the move to Mastodon — different and also wonderful for me. I'm making different following choices: much less political punditry, many more bird photos.

@chockenberry @bigzaphod are there any plans to keep the Ollie Twitterrific iMessage stickers? The original stickers are some of my most-used and favorite ever and they’re not available anymore as far as I can tell. I still have the app installed. #twitterrific

On this week's #TheDownload, it's all about AI, including the #ChatGPT API (featuring Greg Baugues's tutorial), #Kosmos-1, some #Python love from @blackgirlbytes, another shout-out to Nutlope, this time for #roomGPT and #LEGO.
Also, I'm wearing my #Twitterrific Ollie shirt that I bought from @gedeonm's Cotton Bureau page last month!

All (former) users of #Twitterrific or #Tweetbot, please read: #refund info regarding your a #AnnualSubscriptions, a\k\a Exhibit 497 of how #SpaceKaren is a total schmuck and why I refuse to support :birdsite: in any way

As @gruber says below, the great indie developers who wrote #TweetBot (the makers of the fine @ivory for #mastodon ) and #Twitterrific can use their (soon to be former) users’ help: just open the app (re-download if necessary) and tap “I don’t need a refund”. Otherwise Apple *will take the funds away*.
This seems like a small price to pay to show them our appreciation. And to balance with some grace the lack of it shown by the new owner of Twitter.

If you were an active subscriber of #Tweetbot or #Twitterrific when #Twitter shut down their API you can help the small companies behind the apps.

I genuinely didn’t think I’d have had a #TweetBot refund, as I did cancel when I moved here.
Turns out I did! Just declined it as I’m already subscribed to @ivory.
Make sure you install Tweetbot or #Twitterrific to check, and please do decline the refund.

. @gruber lays out the dire situation of @Tapbots and @Iconfactory / @iconfactory.world:
“Imagine that the way it worked when you get fired or laid off is that you’re also suddenly on the hook to pay back the last, say, 6 months of your income. That’s where Tapbots and The Iconfactory are.”
One person caused this. Just one.
