The Many Purposes of Timeline Apps for the Open Web
Writing at The Verge following the release of The Iconfactory's new app Tapestry, David Pierce perfectly encapsulates how I feel about the idea of "timeline apps" (a name that I'm totally going to steal, thanks David): What I like even more, though, is the idea behind Tapestry. There’s actually a whole genre of apps like
Limit - Social Bookmarks (@limitapp.bsky.social)
A purposefully constrained Bluesky client for #ios. It remembers your position in the timeline. #AI features - AI timeline, AI post explanation, AI article summarization App store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/limit/id6748037680 And it’s open source.
Apps are too complex so maybe features should be ownable and tradable

ggtime: A Grammar of Temporal Graphics
Visualizing changes over time is fundamental to learning from the past and anticipating the future. However, temporal semantics can be complicated, and existing visualization tools often struggle to accurately represent these complexities. It is common to use bespoke plot helper functions designed to produce specific graphics, due to the absence of flexible general tools that respect temporal semantics. We address this problem by proposing a grammar of temporal graphics, and an associated software implementation, 'ggtime', that encodes temporal semantics into a declarative grammar for visualizing temporal data. The grammar introduces new composable elements that support visualization across linear, cyclical, quasi-cyclical, and other granularities; standardization of irregular durations; and alignment of time points across different granularities and time zones. It is designed for interoperability with other semantic variables, allowing navigation across the space of visualizations while preserving temporal semantics.

Reupping a 🧵 from this summer: This product is supposedly about conversations, but it's missing a key feature which highlights the interactions we've had The most useful tab I could have when viewing your profile is a timeline focused on *our* conversations: quotes, replies, reposts, likes, etc.

For example, what if MY view of YOUR profile included an affordance which let me chronologically browse the intersection of: - everything you posted + I liked, or - vice versa Would those two be separate timelines, or just a single conversational flow of all our mutual interactions? Hmmm...
You have to mainline info all the time because our information tools make you do so. Infinite scroll timelines, group chats with no beginning or end, recommender algorithms with no sense of place — all of them require constant vigilance to make sense of. We can do better.

had a death in the family and was almost completely off the internet for a few days & my observation is that there is too much happening too fast such that basic facts abt the world are difficult to ascertain unless you are mainlining info all the time & doing that seems to drive people insane
