I used to prefer the pane method but after using Fever I've come around as the way Fever shows the feeds allows (felt like forcing at first) me to go through feeds much more quickly and to actually deal with them rather than let them pile up. Kindling would be feeds you actually care to read, say for example the StackOverflow blog.
NETNEWSWIRE REVIEW MAC
How well does the iPhone client/Fluid client work, and how do they compare with NetNewsWire for the Mac and iPhone?ĭoes the temperature actually mean anything, other than to serve as a way to sort the feeds? Is it fun/intuitive or does it get in the way?Īfter using Fever for a couple weeks now,Īn example of sparks: Digg, feeds, all different types of what you consider high volume/high noise feeds. I'm also wondering how easy it is to mark items as read/unread. I know Fever is designed to try to float the most interesting/relevant news to the top, and I'm wondering how well it really works in practice. I suspect that I prefer this method to Google Reader because it allows me to have greater control over what is marked as read vs unread, as well as being able to easily skim the titles to see if there's anything that immediately piques my interest. The RSS readers that I've liked have treated feeds like email and list all my undread items in one pane so that when I click on one it gets displayed in another pane. I get the tempreature metaphor, I just don't get how sparks "ignite" the kinding, or what kinds of feeds are better for kindling vs sparks Sparks ignite Kindling raising the temperature of items and links that should not be missed.
Supplemental, low signal-to-noise feeds are Sparks. What's the difference between "kindling" and "sparks"? The description on the page is somewhat unhelpful:Įssential, must-read feeds are Kindling. I've read online reviews and watched the demo video, but it's hard to get a sense of whether or not Fever will mesh with the way I like to read news. However, I've recently discovered a reader that has since piqued my interest: I recently started experimenting with NetNewsWire after discovering that I was able to read my feeds on my iPhone and on the web. Thanks for the feature requests! I’m not sure what you mean by a few of them, though.I've recently been examining my RSS situation, having been an Apple Mail user for the better part of two years. Hopefully, these suggestions will help NNW become better and eventually become THE best RSS Feed reader available, as it once was. Until then it will have to remain a throwback novelty. Unfortunately, NNW feels to be the same app/workflow as it was back then with little evolution other than being on my iDevice.Īdding features such as Category (folder) views, device feed sharing (iCloud Drive), newspaper style view, duplicate elimination/aggregation, recommended feeds, auto category forward, and auto-read would make NNW my go-to news reading solution. When NNW was released, I was hoping that it would significantly improve my news reading experience, as it did years ago. However, over the years have experienced many new ways to consume my news including Feedly and News+. I was excited to hear NNW coming back and that it would be available on my current devices (iPad/iPhone). I used to use NetNewsWire years ago and loved it, I was so disappointed when it went away. Other than that, I think this app is great! Maybe there could be an option to change the app icon for NetNewsWire. For example, the app can be made green with the menu buttons being a lighter green. You should be able to make a custom theme using a main color and an accent color.
Speaking of downloads, there should be an option to see how much space your downloaded RSS feed articles take up on your device and manage the ones you no longer need.Ĥ.
NETNEWSWIRE REVIEW DOWNLOAD
By “delete”, I mean hide an article from your list and remove the download from your device.ģ. This is different from deleting an entire feed and all of the articles in it.
There should be an option to manually “delete” RSS feed items by swiping left instead of right. If I have multiple feeds that relate to the same topic, why can’t I group them? There should be a way to browse through your articles by group and see articles that are only related to a specific topic while maintaining iCloud sync in one account.Ģ.
However, there should be some other features too.ġ. I like being able to view RSS feeds in a simple view and access all of the features of a typical feed reader.
