![]() ![]() It does have Delicious and Instapaper support though, which rocks. Only gripe about NetNewsWire: it says “flagged” instead of “starred”, can’t we just use “starred” and keep it consistent? But worse, you can’t “share” things, which I l ike to do. I think you can just double-click it from the desktop, and assuming you have NetNewsWire installed it will install it as a theme. This removed a lot of junk from the end of a lot of feeds, including seeing a zillion “sharing” buttons or FeedBurner cruft. Any images that are really small (under 30px in both height and width) or specifically related to FeedBurner are removed.I can’t think of any real legitimate use for an iframe being in RSS. Google ads in feeds come across in iframes, so those are gone. Embedded videos (or any embedded content from any source) is forced to be the same width as the line length.Widows in post titles are prevented by inserting a non-breaking space between the last two words like this. Images are forced to be block level and spaced out (some sites leave images inline with text and it causes weird layout issues over RSS).Line length is fixed at a comfortable length.jQuery is loaded into the theme, which is utilized a number of ways.Source and other meta information are fixed above the title for similar reasons.We hope to see a rapid development of such essentials in future builds. It’s missing widgets as well as Read Later service. Title is big and fixed so you can’t forget what you are reading and are always close to a link to it’s real URL on the web. NetNewsWire is a new kid around the block.The idea is to get out of the way and just make articles as readable and cruft-free as possible. Hey, it ain’t much, but that’s kind of the point. It fixes a bunch of stuff I found annoying about feeds.I’m also going to share it here in case anybody else is a NetNewsWire user and wants to try it, or have a base to play with their own. I probably went through 5 different ideas and I’m still not entirely satisfied with this, but I’m just gonna stop fiddling with it for a while and let it sink in. So I set about trying to build my own theme. My favorite part is how it has a built in web browser, so switching over to read the article on the site is really quick and painless. Not much to get in your way, but just about everything that you need. The fonts are larger and the spacing is nicer. It has a really simple and easy interface. On macOS I find the reading experience of NetNewsWire to be much nicer than on iPadOS. I have a friend who swears by NetNewsWire, so I’ve been using that. I figure why not use a dedicated app on the desktop too. On the iPhone I use dedicated apps for RSS reading (I like both Byline and Reeder). It happened to me so many times I just had to give up on the web Google Reader. Focus should not be ripped away from me for any reason at that point. I specifically skipped the article above and gave a new article focus. (Does it for a Reddit account, too.Step 2: Oh crap, where did the article go all the sudden? OH YEAH IT WAS PUSHED DOWN OUT OF SITE BECAUSE AN IN AN ARTICLE I ALREADY SKIPPED HAS NOW LOADED ABOVE IT. I did know about that capability just didn’t know that’s what you meant specifically. 28/12/22 18:38 Bryce leonp Assume you mean other than the already-built-in capability with `.rss` on the end of an account’s URL, right? - 28/12/22 17:45 Bryce leonp Gotcha. You can authorise NNW to get your Twitter stream and convert it to an RSS feed (so you see what you see when login to the site/app, rather than just whatever you tweet).
