@burkettlabs That feature is under consideration for the future.

#RSS doesn't necessarily means firehose:

Seen many posts recently complaining about how RSS reading is a overwhelming experience due to the river of news flow. It doesn't need to be like that.

Blogged: Scratch – template

#NetNewsWire

This #NetNewsWire theme is unapologetically bones only at this stage. Regardless I want to get the template right – so never too early to be open for some feedback from #ScreenReader users on Apple devices.

Here’s V1: https://ollicle.com/projects/netnewswire/scratch/

I mean it! It is unthemed.

Anyone here regularly using #NetNewsWire with #VoiceOver on a Mac or iOS?

I’ve been building a theme for NetNewsWire that goes to some trouble to consistently provide a h1 heading in a main landmark. Would be encouraging to know if this provides any real practical benefit!

Please let me know if you would be willing to install a prototype and provide me some feedback 🙏 #a11y

TestFlight Build Expired, New One Coming: https://netnewswire.blog/2025/04/22/testflight-build-expired-new-one.html

@nikosdemetriou The system controls how often NetNewsWire can run in the background. The app asks to do it as often as possible — but we can’t control when it actually happens.

The more you use NetNewsWire (and don’t force-quit it), the more often it will get scheduled to run in the background.

@benfsmith The Reader View is a free service generously provided by the Feedbin folks — we don’t control that code. You can certainly report this bug to them.

But also note that Reader View reads the actual web page (not the feed) and then does its best to guess what the actual page content is (minus ads etc.) — there’s no standard to go by, only heuristics. The web is chaotic enough (which we love!) that Reader View won’t always work.

@tofferr Cool, got it. Thanks, Chris!

@shimst3r It was the first of its kind (three-panel, native UI) on any platform!

NetNewsWire is 22 years old today! NetNewsWire 1.0 shipped this day in 2003.

We’ll be celebrating by continuing work on version 6.2. 🐣🐥🚀

@tclementdev You can right now, but you wouldn’t be able to if we made the proposed change. Is this a thing you do? What’s the use case?

@jonmsterling Got it. Would you describe how that’s useful to you? It helps us a lot to understand use cases.

@tclementdev Do you use the current multiple-main-windows feature in a way that multiple-article-windows wouldn’t be a replacement?

If you’re currently using multiple main windows on Mac, and the above change would mess up your workflow, please explain!

The goal isn’t to take anything away but to add something better.

Thinking of changing how multiple windows work on Macs.

Instead of multiple main windows, have just one main window (with sidebar/timeline/article) and allow multiple article windows.

(Or tabs — depending on your settings.)

One nice benefit might be going through your articles, opening ones you want to read separately — and then going back to read those after you’ve gone through everything.

(The article windows/tabs would persist between runs.)

What do you think?

@ultranurd Nor us! (Well, the person running this account.)

@ultranurd It’s the server, unfortunately. It’s returning a 403 Forbidden. Looks like a misconfiguration of CloudFront.

(Screenshot attached showing NetNewsWire request and 403 response from a CloudFront server).

@tofferr Hadn’t thought about it — it hasn’t come up before. Is this something you need?

@ultranurd Which feed (just one would be fine)? What do you mean by “error out” — what are you seeing?

(Also: Mac or iOS? Version of NetNewsWire? Which syncing system?)
