Tapestry: your favorite content in chronological order in a single app
Tapestry is a new app that offers its users, always in chronological order, the content they have requested to receive from social networks such as Bluesky, Mastodon, Tumblr, podcasts, YouTube channels, or any website that has an RSS feed.
We learned about this app through an article published in The Verge which discusses a batch of new applications, identified as chronological apps, that allow users to view content without algorithms deciding what we're going to see.
The timeline apps are here, and they're awesome – The Verge
One app, all your feeds, none of the nonsense of social media. It's a better way to consume just about everything.
Each user can configure in Tapestry the sources they want to consult through the app. Browsing is always private, without services analyzing what is visited.
Tapestry is a project developed by the iconfactory company, which has explained the history of the creation and launch of this new app in their blog:
Tapestry is currently available on the App Store for Apple devices.

Tripit, an assistant to organize your travels
The world of tourism has a wide variety of services available on the net. One that can help us manage our travels is Tripit, an application and website that helps users plan and organize their trips regardless of where they made their reservations.
Once we've created a free Tripit account, we can forward our confirmation emails for any type of booking to a Tripit email address, and within seconds, Tripit creates a master itinerary for that trip with all the booking information aggregated in one place.
For example, we can include our flight, hotel, car rental, or restaurant reservations. We can also sync this travel plan with our preferred calendar.
Among Tripit's free services, in addition to the aforementioned itinerary creation, are the options to save and access all information offline, share our plans with others, review transportation options or points of interest, and check terminal and airport maps, among others. It can also tell us if we're eligible for compensation in case of flight delays.
Tripit also has a Pro service which, for $49 per year, offers additional features such as real-time flight alerts, reward program tracking, help finding better seats or alternative flights, flight reminders and other notifications, as well as travel information about destinations, among other services.

Interactive NYT tool to help you discover your next read
The The New York Times has an interesting interactive service that can help us find our next favorite book to read.
The NYT's "Let Us Help You Find Your Next Book" interactive tool offers different options that help users discover books that match their preferences.
For example, it recommends titles that respond to the type of book we're looking for and ultimately links to the complete list of books recommended by the Times throughout the year.
The interactive tool also offers, through different horizontal modules, new releases selected by the Times book editors and recent works recommended by their critics for multiple book categories.
The NYT also recently published a selection of the 100 best books of the 21st century so far:
