"Project Tapestry: Unifying Online Media with a New App from Twitterrific Creators"
The developers of Twitterrific are crowdfunding for Project Tapestry, an iOS app designed to serve as a universal internet reader, pulling from various sources including federated social media networks, RSS feeds, and governmental data sources. The app will allow users to create their own data source plug-ins and is expected to include features like muting, bookmarking, filtering, and search. However, it won't be able to access centralized platforms like Meta and Instagram, and users won't be able to create or reply to posts. The Kickstarter has already raised over $70,000, with a goal of $100,000 to start building, and potential additional features at $150,000, but the developers caution that Apple's app review process may pose a risk to the project.
