#92I'd be interested if this were browser based.

#93I'm guessing this is proprietary? Couldn't find any info about the licensing from the website.

You know what would be really impressive? To act on that feedback as fast as possible. Like: now. I agree with the parent poster and I think you should make it damn easy for anybody here to test Yack.
I'd love to do this right now, but the thing is that workflow is rather complicated and needs through testing after change. Would adding a download button to landing page suffice ;)
I think it would suffice. It's a start! :)

I use feedly with over 100 feeds and an ifttt hook that saves the article to instapaper when I click 'read later' and it works great.

#96Looks cool. But it should have a Python API letting you wrte your own source drivers so you could add other blogs. PS: If only everybody were implementing ATOM and doing it properly - we wouldn't have to implement any site-specific clients then.
It has plugin architecture that allows anyone to build plugins for Yack. Once out of beta, users will be able to install custom plugins directly from GitHub. Plugins must be written in TypeScript though.
Great. TypeScript doesn't feel as great for this kind of task (I mean content processing) as Python does but still feels a sufficiently reasonable alternative.
Will you also release Linux and Windows versions or is it meant to be Mac-only?

#97Really like the concept--I think you're on to something in creating a unified UI for all these similar services. But..getting into the beta was a giant PITA. 1. Enter email 2. Check email 3. Download client 4. Go back to email, copy code 5. Paste code 6. Go back to email, click sign in link 7. Browser asks if it's ok to open Yack 8. Create profile in Yack (at this point I bounced) Honestly, just let me download the b…
I also bounced after step 7, but namely because I kept getting sign-in errors with the email link.

There'll definitely be Windows and Linux versions, but focusing on the macOS version for the time being.

Why do you think Python is better than TypeScript?
