Today was a big day in the life of Tapestry.

We read data off the Internet with JavaScript, built a Swift object graph, synced all objects over iCloud, created a beautiful timeline in SwiftUI, and displayed data from RSS/Atom/JSON feeds, GoComics, USGS/NOAA, and YouTube.

Still a lot of work to do before a beta release, but we’re at that tipping point where we can really start to kick ass.

Good work @gedeonm @talosman @piraino @bigzaphod !

@Gargron It looks like you got a shot of milkweed at the base of the tree. It’s a very important part of the ecosystem that supports the Monarch butterfly. A lot of folks in California are growing it gardens as a conservation effort. We currently have 3 pupae in our front yard (we’ll have several dozens by the end of summer).

I’m calling it now: the slop feedback loop is going to ruin the Internet.

Look at the second toot in this thread: Google’s AI Assistant got the gasoline recipe from AI generated content.

We’re playing the shittiest game of telephone ever.

So what’s to prevent the current president from ordering a hit on a few Supreme Court justices and several prominent members of the GOP if he has immunity?

It would lead to chaos, but it would be _legal_.

And therein lies the problem.

@jsnell I wish “inflammatorty” was a real word. Typo of the year!

Whether you’re looking for a cheap CarPlay device or trying to understand the movement of particles in an electric field, Amazon has you covered.

Seeing “browser blocked” at CNN because your ad blocker can't do all the privacy preferences bullshit?

Replace the “www" in the URL with “lite" and you get a page that doesn't need any privacy preferences bullshit.

As promised, today we're giving you a look behind the scenes with Project Tapestry.

We’ve seen folks thinking that we're making an RSS reader – because that's all they can imagine. And that's natural – there has never been something like this before.

The personal web is now programmable.

I can't wait to explain how we're doing Project Tapestry. It's simple, powerful, and most importantly, extensible. If anything, we're underselling the capabilities in the video and pitch.

It still kinda blows my mind that we were able to pull it off. I haven't been this excited about the future possibilities of a project since the day we launched Twitterrific in 2007.

If you write code for any Apple platform and don't know about this website, I'm about to make your life easier:

That is unless, of course, your code is error-free 😉

macOS Sonoma 14.1 - followed a week later by 14.1.1 because of a bug in the WindowServer that flipped the Y coordinate of click events.

macOS likema 14.2 - followed a week later by 14.2.1 because of a bug in the WindowServer and how it tracks sessions.

Guess who found both bugs and had to deal with the fallout? Me.

Both of these bugs are in parts of the WindowServer that have been stable for a long time (in first case, decades!)

No one like emergency point releases, so what's wrong?

Do you hate how hard it is to get to System Information now? (System Settings… > General > About > System Report…)

Just hold down the Option key in the Apple menu…

@Gargron DOES IT WORK ON HUMANS

@Gargron Yep, got it. This is what threw me - there's a space in the dropdown.

@Gargron Is there a way to search just my own toots?

“from: chockenberry" shows replies to me, not the things I originally said.

I'm forgetful in my old age, and this is definitely something I need 😉

Ever since getting the FineWoven case, I’ve been trying to think of what the material reminds me of…

And then I saw the inflatable mattresses we use for camping in the garage.

@mike I HAVE BUST MODE THO

I DONT NEED THE UP GRADE
