Tapestry weaves your favorite blogs, social media, and more into a unified and chronological timeline. ⁕ The Web Your Way Tapestry combines posts from your favorite social media services like Bluesky, Mastodon, Tumblr along with others like RSS feeds, podcasts, YouTube channels, and more. All of your content is presented in chronological order, with no algorithm deciding what you should or shouldn't see. ⁕ Join The Conversation Compose new posts, reply to your friends, and read discussions on Bluesky or Mastodon right from inside of Tapestry. No need to switch to another app when you want to interact. ⁕ A Bird's Eye View Tapestry makes it easier than ever to browse content from dozens or even hundreds of sources. 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.

Make friends as an adult. Actually. Random Regulars puts you at a small table of strangers in Columbus — dinner, drinks, a Sunday treat, or a Saturday morning walk — and lets the rest happen naturally. No swiping, no networking, no pressure. Just show up. HOW IT WORKS 1. Join and tell us a little about yourself 2. Tap "Going" on an event that sounds fun 3. The spot is revealed two days before 4. Meet your table — the group chat opens on event day, so nobody walks in cold 5. Rate the night afterward. Click with someone? If it's mutual, a private chat opens — that's how strangers become regulars WHAT'S ON EVERY WEEK • Dinners — small tables at Columbus restaurants, capped at six on purpose • Trivia — same bar every week, come test your useless knowledge • Nightcaps — one bar, everyone welcome, nothing to decide • Sweet Treats — Sunday afternoons, coffee and something sweet • Runs & Walks — Saturday mornings at a social pace COME ALONE. THAT'S KIND OF THE POINT. Almost everyone shows up not knowing a soul — so nobody's the odd one out. You don't need a plus-one, you don't need to be outgoing, and you don't need to be single. Everyone at your table said yes to meeting new people. BUILT FOR REAL LIFE • Reminders before your events, and a heads-up the moment your spot is revealed • Group chat with your table before you arrive • Private ratings keep the community friendly — and you control who you're seated with • Your safety matters: public venues only, verified members, and organizers a message away SIMPLE MEMBERSHIP One membership covers every event. Pay once for the time you want — no subscription, no auto-renew, no card stored. At the table you order what you like and pay your own tab. COLUMBUS, THIS IS FOR YOU. Random Regulars is a local club run by locals, starting right here. Your next regular might be a stranger. Questions? support@randomregulars.com
