Automatic blog site and social platform Tumblr have a financial supported tapestry. It is a newly released app designed to configure feed in an open web, including RSS, Mastodon, Bluesky, etc.
Tapestry, which was released as a kickstarter project in January 2024, raised more than $ 177,000 through crowdfunding for the app, and opened its door to the public as an App Store debut earlier this month.
Behind Tuesday, the company shared that Tumblr has supported the project as a subsidy. This fund is used to build the default MacOS version of the app. (In the meantime, the iPad version of the app can be run on the Mac.)
Tumblr’s interest in this space follows the acquisition of 2019 by WordPress.com Parent Automattic. This moves the back end of Tumblr to WordPress and simplifies the work. As a result of these movements, Tumblr is connected to a protocol that supplys power to Fedivere, Open Social Web, ActivityPub, Mastodon, Thread, Pixelfed and other apps.
Designed by IconFactory, the most well -known IconFactory, ICONFACTORY, Tapestry, which is the most well -known IconFactory, allows users to compose a variety of sources such as blog posts, news articles and social media updates with their own feeds. creation.
The app supports sources such as RSS (News Feed), YouTube, Podcast, BlueSky, Mastodon, Reddit, Tumblr, Micro.blog, Go Comics.
The wider idea of Tapestry is to make the user better control how to receive news and information.
Especially with the injury of the Open Social Web, people can now better control their online experience. Users in apps, such as Bluesky, build their own feeds, join the special feeds built by others, and organize their own intervention services.
Thanks to Tumblr’s sponsorship, ICONFACTORY introduces a sponsorship program in Tapester, allowing advertisers to market products and services on the app user -based user. Instead of supporting apps using traditional internet advertising, the sponsorship tens is made with small independent creators in mind.
“Our hope is that the community around Tapestry will be interested in the indie apps that are exciting, blogs that are supplied with fuel due to passion, a podcast that provides and enjoys information, or a YouTube channel.”
Tapestry is one of the few apps that want to provide the same custom definition by building an agrigator focused on a wider web based on an open protocol instead of a single social network like Bluesky.
Others who compete in this space include surfing, feed and reeder.
Iconfactory’s Tumblr and the team were asked for financial subsidies. If more information is provided, we will update.
