418: ‘Putting a Stink on the Letter X’, With Craig Hockenberry

Craig Hockenberry returns to the show. Topics include Apple’s new hardware this week — M3 iPad Airs, A16 regular iPads, M4 MacBook Airs, and the M4 Max and surprising M3 Ultra Mac Studios. And we go deep on The Iconfactory’s years-in-the-making new app, Tapestry — a universal timeline for the Internet.

Daring Fireball posts of note:
Tapestry: “Weaving your favorite blogs, social media, and more into a unified and chronological timeline.”
- Craig, on the Iconfactory blog: “Enter Tapestry”.
- Cheryl Cicha, also on the Iconfactory blog: “Tapestry: Past, Present, and Future”.
- Tapestry Connectors — an open, easy (documented!) extensions API.
- Fefes Blog — you’ll have to listen to the show to understand how this is a Tapestry-related link. But trust me, it’s a good story. It starts with this thread on Mastodon, which begins like a great novel: “It’s becoming clear that XML in RSS is the preferred tool of sociopaths.”
- Molly White: “POSSE” (“Publish [on your] Own Site, Syndicate Elsewhere”).
- Technology Connections on YouTube: “Algorithms Are Breaking How We Think”.
The Iconfactory:
- Linea Sketch — “a lightweight digital sketchpad for your iPad”.
- Wallaroo — fun new wallpapers every week, for iOS and Mac.
- Tot — we didn’t mention this brilliant little notes app on the show, but I use it every day.
- iPulse — a nerdy system monitor, with Iconfactory fit and finish. Runs in the background even on iOS.
- Project Tapestry’s year-ago successful Kickstarter campaign.
Andre Torrez’s Tyke, the inspiration for Tot.
