@pratik I haven't tried the new Reeder yet, but I thought that Tapestry can allow a toot to be opened in a chosen Mastodon app? At least I have set to do that. This is not to defend the workflow, just saying that I believe it can be done.
I have not tried the same for other platforms.

I’m not sure that I totally understand this, but I like it 🦖

@maique Languages are fascinating…even if I can’t speak them 😉
David Johnson
@crossingthethreshold
@cygnoir Oh well done with them. They look great.
David Johnson
@crossingthethreshold
@maique I look forward to that.
I keep meaning to ask. Is the language spoken there Portuguese?
David Johnson
@crossingthethreshold
@maique That sounds like my sort of size for a city!
David Johnson
@crossingthethreshold
@humdrum Thank you. From what I am hearing it sounds similar to the idea behind Tapestry - a feed of RSS feeds and social media?

@otaviocc I do not. I live in Maui and the nearest Apple Store is in Honolulu on the island of Oahu. Having said that, there is a Mac certified service store on Maui, so maybe I should give them a visit if crashing persists? I had not thought of that. Thank you.

@crossingthethreshold
@Miraz I'll try then....but expect to have to zoom in to a pixelated object 😵💫
David Johnson
@crossingthethreshold
@humdrum Do you have any idea when the new Reeder will be out of beta?
David Johnson
@crossingthethreshold
@Miraz Very nice. Seeing these makes me think that I should try and catch a photo of the Pacific Golden Plover one day. I fear though that my iPhone Mini’s camera won’t allow me to get close enough.

And then there is this evening’s rainbow, two if you look close. Two minutes later it started raining and the rainbow was gone 🌈

@DaveyCraney Thank you for the suggestion David. No, I have not tried a clean install. I’ll see how things go over the next week, and hold it as a consideration.

@crossingthethreshold
@heyloura Good for you! I have a subscription to Practice Portuguese which expires this month. I struggled with their format…or maybe my heart just wasn’t in it? Reading your message has made me reset my progress there and I will give it another go.
Thank you for the nudge 🙂, and good luck with your learning.

@hawaiiboy What a shot!

@cleverdevil Oh what wonderful and happy news. I am so happy for your wife, you and your whole family.

@crossingthethreshold
@maique Thank you.

@crossingthethreshold
@maique Which one do you use?

😮💨 I’m exhausted. Today was a long day.

A new thing to look forward to on Fridays - @iconfactory’s latest build of Tapestry.

@peroty Quick Launch, in some of its uses makes use of Shortcuts, and so it can seem like a Shortcut dance at times, but it is over quickly, is unobtrusive in my opinion and does get the job done.
I need to tidy up the Shortcut. Once I have done that, I’ll share it.
David Johnson
@crossingthethreshold
@peroty I created a Shortcut that allows the user to type in text that gets published straight to Micro.blog. Ideal for short posts. It needs to be tidied up a bit, has some superfluous leftovers from another Shortcut, but works.
As it is useful for a quick thought that I want to post, I thought that it would be great if I could access it from the Lock Screen. Enter Quick Launch which amongst other things, allows you to run a Shortcut as a Lock Screen widget.
So now I can press the icon for the Shortcut on the Lock Screen, am taken to a screen to enter text and from there to publishing it to Micro.blog.
David Johnson
@crossingthethreshold
So I now have a Shortcut accessible from my iPhone Lock Screen. When I press on icon to launch it, I am presented with a window to type some text. When I am finished typing I press Done. I’m asked if the text has a category on my blog, and from there it is published. Like this one 🥳
David Johnson
@crossingthethreshold
From my phone’s Lock Screen to typing to posted blog - let’s see if this works.

@crossingthethreshold
🥵 It’s humid today. Muggy, like walking through a think cloud of invisible warm water. I think a prelude to Tropical Depression Gilma arriving here this weekend. Gilma is waning which is a blessing. Last week it was a hurricane midway between the US west coast and Hawaii.

After a hot day and strong trade winds, yesterday evening the world seemed to settle down at dusk and take a breather. As the sun set and the sky darkened, we sat outside and chatted. I feel blessed to call this view home.

🌞 Yeh! The sun is out. The first time for 48 hours. Hopefully it will remain so until the next storm arrives at the end of the week.

@crossingthethreshold
🏄♂️ Meanwhile my stepdaughter’s partner and their son are off to find the good (big) surf thrown up by the storm. Island life.

Wet mornings.

🌧️ Now it’s coming in. Sideways and every other way that it can manage. Wind assisted.
David Johnson
@crossingthethreshold
Wind and rain this morning. Not as bad as the Big Island which is taking the brunt of the weather, but Tropical Storm, now Category 1 Hurricane, Hone has arrived in the islands.
