Tildes is a very serious site, where we discuss very serious matters like the game awards.2025, devices.smart and gift cards. Tags culled from the highest voted topics from the last seven days, if anyone was out of the loop.
But one of my favourite tags happens to be offbeat! Taking its original inspiration from Sir Nils Olav III, this thread is looking for any far-fetched offbeat stories lurking in the newspapers. It may not deserve its own post, but it deserves a wider audience!
Welcome back to another edition of the good news thread. Where I challenge folks to find and post good news. Don't just link to a source of good news, pick one out and share it. Personal good news stories are also welcome!
Even if it's good in the face of bad, even if it's the sort of good that can also remind you that shit's fucked up. For this thread, we focus on the good and we don't let the fact there's still also bad in the world drag us down.
Allow me to introduce myself.
I came over to Tildes fairly recently after Twitterriffic died and Apollo announced it would shut down.
As a relative youngster, I tend to mostly browse on mobile.
While I do appreciate Tildes' philosophy of having a simple website that works well on desktop and mobile, I've always preferred mobile apps. I'm a strong believer that a well-built native application will always provide a richer experience than a website.
But enough talking.. showing is way more fun - here's a lil' something I've been messing around with:
Introducing Surfboard for Tildes
The goal is simple: to be the best way to interact with Tildes on mobile.
Surfboard is still extremely early, and is missing many features.
With that said, here is what it currently supports:
The design draws some inspiration from Apollo for Reddit, an app that I loved & am very sad will be discontinued.
I would love to get some feedback from other Tildes users on the app. If you are interested in trying it for yourself, you can get it here via TestFlight
Surfboard is built for iPhone, and requires iOS 16.0 or higher.
Inside the app is a 'roadmap' of sorts which is basically a list of things I know are missing, but if there's something you want that isn't listed there, I'm all ears.
Formatting is a little rough at the moment, although I made enormous improvements on the parsing & rendering there over the last day.
It should support just about anything you throw at it other than a <details>
(I'll get around to them, I swear..)
If you run into issues viewing a post/comment, you can easily open them in an in-app safari window from the menu.
As mentioned above, it's very early, but it's already becoming my favorite way to browse Tildes. I hope that others will enjoy it as well. Consider it my gift to the Tildes community.
Cheers !
Edit:
The best way to submit feature requests & bug reports is to add it to the issue tracker and/or leave a comment on this thread and I’ll get around to adding it myself.
Thanks !
What are some things that you enjoy, are useful, or recommend. I'd ask that you include the price in your native currency to give a ballpark and save folks the trouble of following links that are out of their budget.
