Create connectors for Tapestry
Only for Mac

Mac
Tapestry Loom lets you create connectors for Tapestry.
On iOS, Tapestry weaves your favorite blogs, social media, and more into a unified and chronological timeline.
Tapestry uses connectors to retrieve the items for a timeline. Each connector is a collection of files that describes a type of feed and provides instructions on how to load and parse it. A connector is the glue between a feed source and the rest of the app.
Connectors are created with standard web technologies: JavaScript and JSON. All of Tapestry’s connectors are open source and easy to adapt for your needs.
This app allows you to test and debug your own connectors.
Tapestry Loom loads and displays content just like on iOS, but adds a web inspector that lets you see what’s going on during processing. You can also check configuration parameters, change feed variables, and view item metadata. And since you’re working on a Mac, you can easily use your favorite text editor, version control, and any other tools that you may need.
The API used by Tapestry is fully documented on GitHub. We highly recommend taking a look at the tutorial before creating your first connector.

Ratings & Reviews
This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
• Support for developing connectors for Tapestry 1.4
- Loom can now handle newer APIs
- Note that actions are not yet available to test directly within Loom
• Added support for "context" actions:
- Useful for displaying ephemeral conversation thread timelines
- Add an action with `"role": "context"` to your "actions.json" file
- Attach the new action to the Items returned via `processResults()` as usual
- Can now return an array of Item objects from `performAction()`
- Requires minimum_app_version 1.4 or higher
• When tapping on an Item attachment in Tapestry that has a `context` action, the action is performed instead of opening the URL:
- Useful for quote attachments to open a conversation thread in-app
- Used by the Mastodon connectors for native quote posts
