I’ve never been a Twitterific user, even back when everyone was on it. The UI never really made sense to me because it always felt lacking. But maybe that minimalistic approach is their entire schtick, and their former users that enjoyed their style would buy it right up.
On a similar thought, I think if Tapbots made a similar aggregator, I’d buy it in a heart beat.
Twitterific was too old school, like it didn’t want to move past skeuomorphic design of old iOS. I liked it but I’m old. I should like Tapestry so I’m really bummed about this experience.
If you want this kind of aggregator then the new version of Reeder attempted it couple of months ago and it seemed much nicer to use. When I noticed that’s it’s the same idea I reinstalled it and am now trying to stick with it. It didn’t have those custom filtered views that Tapestry has before but it’s been added since. I think it wants me to set up many views and just dip into them like channels to surf on TV. Configuration was painfully slow but I understand why some of it had be done this way - you have to make sure you’re adding low noise sources. It’s also half baked honestly but much more usable, better looking and cheaper.
