    @neatnik@social.lol I’m looking forward to you completing Neatstats. I’ll be switching over when it’s all wrapped up! 🙏🏼

    @support@iconfactory.world I have a feature request for Tapestry! Allow us to post to multiple accounts at once! I’m thinking Mastodon and Bluesky! The app is amazing and has become my daily driver!

    Inside our home 5G is terrible. Half the time we’re on a single bar of LTE. And sometimes in SOS mode. However, out by the shed I get decent 5G. This is where I live now. 🤣

    I think I have Tapestry configured the way I want. I’ve made custom timelines for folks in the Apple Community and one I call Socials that is just Mastodon and Bluesky timelines. That’s the one I spend all my time in because I use Stream for RSS reading. Love it! ❤️

    It’s probably just something I’m doing, but I dropped my beautifully crafted Iconfactory icon into my app, set it as the primary icon, built, and… It doesn’t show. 😳 Ok, Mac Devs, what have I done wrong? 😭

    I haven&#39;t spoken about this at all, but today we sign paperwork for you new to us home. I&#39;m hoping it&#39;s the final home, our forever home. It&#39;s smaller, older, and has more style than the one we&#39;re in, and it sits on 4 acres of land. Would anyone like to buy a house? Our current home goes on the market very soon. 😬

    There was a time when Stream had some traction all because someone with a following said they liked it and it was featured by Apple not long after that. Now it’s scraping the bottom of the barrel. It is fine. It’s a very minimum app, intentionally and because of time constraints, but I will keep plugging away on it as time permits. Maybe one day it will be feature rich enough for people to enjoy. Until then I’ll keep hammering away at it.

    I was very tempted to ask Claude to do some code for me today. I feel like what I want for a 1.0 release is very close and want to get it out the door. Mainly so I feel like I can sit back and think about the Mac and iOS versions together and get some Mac features over to iOS. I also need to do some parsing of web pages since folks often don’t do full text in their RSS feed. I hate that but it must be done.

    @petrillic@hachyderm.io Chris, what coffee shop are you at, if you don&#39;t mind sharing? I&#39;ve started a list of coffee shops to visit in DC.

    @gedeonm@mastodon.social Y&#39;all are so small I&#39;m really surprised a bigger software company hasn&#39;t approached you about acquiring you. Great designers and developers, along with a talented supporting crew. It would make for a great acquihire if nothing else. Apple needs to get their act together and give you a bunch of money to go to work for them as a collective. 🤣 Adobe would also be a good fit for y’all, in my opinion, and they have a shop there in North Carolina.

    Well, I&#39;ve managed to fix one thing in Stream for Mac this morning, but my physically tired and sore old body isn&#39;t helping with staying focused. When I was a kid I never understood why old people couldn&#39;t do stuff. Now I know why and I really don&#39;t like it. The sad thing is, it&#39;s my fault. I&#39;m obese and don&#39;t exercise. If I dropped dead tomorrow I don&#39;t think anyone would be surprised. Not that I wan to drop dead, but there you go. 🤣

    @gedeonm@mastodon.social Ged, I wish I had a few million bucks, I&#39;d give you some in a heartbeat. Of course, my willingness to give money away, is why I&#39;m not fabulously wealthy. 🤣

    RE: https://mastodon.social/@gedeonm/116668837864705562 Help this amazing company out. Go buy a product, if you can, so they can keep making amazing things. They also have a Patreon account that gets you some really nice benefits.

    @chrishannah@fosstodon.org The point is it works! Even if it’s just for you! I want to do the same thing for a backend service that implements MicroPub and put a web UI and native app UIs on top of that.
