The generous folks at Feedbin are running a copy of the open-source Mercury Parser, and theyâve offered to open this service up to RSS readers like NetNewsWire. Weâre looking at using Feedbinâs content extraction service (which wouldnât require you to have a Feedbin account). There are a number of open source options for this. The idea is that NetNewsWire would do something very much like the Reader view (but inline, in the article pane), that grabs the content and formats it nicely, without all the extra junk that is not the article you want to read. If youâve ever used Safariâs Reader view, then you know what Iâm talking about.

There is a solution to the problem of showing full content and not leaving the app, and itâs a feature that really does belong in an RSS reader: using content extraction to grab the article from the original page. A winged messenger arrives with a solution In 2005, this feature was fine â but these days itâs totally not. ÂBut Brent! In NetNewsWire 2.0 you added a tabbed browser to NetNewsWire, and it was awesome and a hugely popular feature!â (Before you mention SFSafariViewController, recall that itâs iOS-only.) What about the glory days? Having boundaries means we can concentrate on doing a great job at the things that do belong in the app. One of those things is showing web pages â thatâs really a web browser feature.

Some features belong in the app, and some features are best left to apps that do that feature way better than NetNewsWire could. This points to one of my design principles: the app should have boundaries. This means that viewing a web page in NetNewsWire would be less secure and more annoying than viewing the same page in Safari (or whatever your browser is). They work in Safari, but they do not extend to other apps that use WebKit. One big one is that your ad blockers and privacy extensions wonât run. Youâd think itâs a no-brainer, and we should just go ahead.

The auto-update feature is novel but not what I want and to change it I would have to manually update each feed.

I have tried FeedReader in the past but I recently decided to download it and try it again having noticed that it is now on version 3.0.*. Up until now I have mainly been using Thunderbird on Windows as this more closely matched what I am looking for. I have tried other readers such as RSSOwl, Feed Demon but none of them come close to NetNewsWire for being as easy to use and having the feature set that I have been looking for.

I have been looking for an equivalent for the mac only Feed reader software NetNewsWire on Windows and I think I have found something that comes the closest yet.įeedReader is a free RSS reader for Windows written by Toomas Toots.
