"I learned to do what I do by making mistakes just by screwing it up. Well, that didn't work. And trying something else. Embrace the mistakes."

"I think we're kind of trained in school and in life to get the right answers and you get rewarded for those and penalized for mistakes. But mistakes are where the really great learning and growth comes."

"Talent, I believe, is mostly a myth because I hear that a lot. Oh, you're so talented. And it's not really true."

A year ago we released Tapestry. The app is a beautiful, easy way to create a personalized timeline of your news, RSS, social feeds and more.

The response to Tapestry has been amazing. There are lots of improvements ahead but for now we wanted to say thank you to everyone who backed the Tapestry Kickstarter AND who've renewed their annual subscriptions to Tapestry.

We know you have many App Store choices, & many subs, so thanks for choosing Tapestry. 🫶
