Create custom timelines, seamlessly sync your reading position across devices, and keep track of feeds in an easy-to-read, color-coded stream of content. ⁕ Avoid Spoilers Everywhere Quickly create powerful rules that control what you do and don't see across all your feeds. Avoid potential spoilers and stay clear of unwanted topics by creating rules that muffle and mute items in everything you follow. ⁕ Powerful Searching Search for topics and terms across all feeds simultaneously. Tapestry makes it easy to find that blog post, YouTube video, or podcast you're looking for - and easy to mark it for later. ⁕ Private By Design Your privacy is a priority.

The Making Sense Community is a dedicated place for curious minds to trade ideas, sharpen their thinking, follow good arguments wherever they lead, and have fun doing it. This is not another social network. Members use their full, real names, and we do not optimize for engagement, outrage, or any of the other mechanisms that have made the existing platforms so poisonous. This is a community in a more traditional sense—one that is organized around shared interests and the working assumption that the people you are talking with are arguing in good faith. Topics consist of current events, politics, books, spirituality, health, film, travel, as well as episodes of the Making Sense podcast and whatever else is on your mind. The most important house rules are intellectual honesty and basic decency. Keep it civil, don’t spam or self-promote, steelman before you criticize, and don’t use AI as a replacement for your own voice. Within that, this is meant to be a genuinely good time. Inside, you'll find: • Sam showing up how he would in a chat with people he trusts: dropping links he’s come across, reacting to events in the news, floating ideas that aren't yet ready for an episode of the podcast. • Member-created threads on wide-ranging topics. • Member profiles and direct messaging, so the connections you make here don't have to stay inside a single thread. • Notifications you control, so the community is available when you want it and quiet when you don't. • Healthy moderation that protects the space for the community by removing anyone engaging in toxic behavior. Come join our community of curious, sharp, good-humored people who take ideas seriously without taking themselves too seriously. *Names and images in the screenshots have been changed for privacy.
