Been sure seeing a lot of these guys around our neighborhood, lately. They’ve sure gotten pretty cozy being in the city.. #everett #coyote

@matt_birchler Hey man, I get the following in your Quick Subtitles app when I try to see purchase info. Is something broken?

@lorihc Hi, just curious if there is any way to “shuffle” by default a playlist we choose in the new workout app Auto Play Media. I can’t seem to find a way but know users would sure appreciate a way to. Congrats on getting watchOS 26 shipped! 🔥

@dansup iOS stories publish attempt just gives me this every try..

@Iconfactory Just confirming, do you guys check TestFlight submitted feedback for Tapestry or is there a more preferred method of sending feedback? I’ve used the TF app several times but wasn’t sure if that is even checked. ;)

@lorihc Is it a bug that Workout Auto Play “Picked for You” doesn’t play anything when combined with Workout Buddy? I have it on but it never plays. Tried a workout leaving phone behind and it then played fine. I hope this is a bug! Filed at FB19419224

Hoping @brianmueller does the same Liquid Glass bottom menu treatment with @CARROT that @Iconfactory has done to their #tapestryapp 😎

@lorihc Hi Lori, just curious, should these Ring notifications on watchOS play the gif video like they do on the iPhone? Sure would love if they did, but wanted to confirm it’s not just me :) sneak it into #watchos26 ? 🤣

@Iconfactory This lower menu bar is going to look so hot in liquid glass! 😁 #tapestryapp

I love the Apple Watch smart stack. It's genuinely one of the best UI improvements watchOS has gotten in a long time... But why can I not manually arrange the order for pinned widgets?

I have to do this frustrating thing of unpinning, then re-pinning in the order I want them. Is there some […]

@Iconfactory Just curious if these 3 sizes do anything? Every time I’ve tried changing between them, I’ve never noticed any difference in how huge posts are on timeline if in expanded mode.. was hoping for something more in between expanded and compact but those don’t seem to make any difference?

@Iconfactory One other request/feature I’d love to see is an option to make all posts background black or dark but still maintain their ribbon color of feed on the left like they do, currently. So more like a toggle for a true dark mode since all the current color choices aren’t very dark :)

@Iconfactory I’d love the ability in Tapestry on iPad with Magic Keyboard, to be able to 2 finger swipe down to close full screen photos. It seems to allow 2 finger swipe left and right to cycle between photos but not down to quickly close back timeline. Would be much faster than having to tap […]

Thought this article on the financial realities (racket?) of publishing on YouTube was interesting. She's transparent about the costs and revenue her channel brought in.

“For a video with 30,000 views, I earn $300... It costs [advertisers] $29 per thousand [views] to run an ad in my videos […]

@bigzaphod I know you did a lot of the work on the #tapestryapp timeline holding its place so I wanted to bounce one thing off you.. my only issue so far is that following federated Threads users on Mastodon comes with a 15 min delay from original Threads post. (1/2)

I am so impressed with #tapestryapp by @Iconfactory! I was concerned it wouldn’t always remember my place on the timeline but it hasn’t lost it once since day 1 and I put it through the paces with Bluesky, Mastodon, YouTube subs, Reddit subs, 4-5 blogs, etc. It truly accomplishes some wizardry! […]
