NNW definitely restored my faith in RSS readers. Amazing software, I just use it and sync to iCloud, works flawlessly. Thank you NNW!

Re: NetNewsWire Turns 23
#23Hands down the best RSS reader I've used. It's fast, tiny, built extremely well, and has no flab. It sits in a certain class of application along with Alfred and a handful of others in being a standout example of craftsmanship that's reminiscent of the golden era of OS X. More apps should strive for this standard.
Speaking of Alfred, there’s also a Raycast[0] extension for NetNewsWire allowing one to combine the two[1].
Disclaimer: I authored the extension but like most Raycast extensions, it’s open-source[2].

I love it too, but I would still like some concept of folders, so that I could sort my feeds into eg. programming, design, hobbies, and then have a feed to match the mood.
Re: NetNewsWire Turns 23
#25The biggest problem with newsreaders, IME, has been managing large numbers of feeds. Most user time is spent handling redundant stories - e.g., if you have feeds from many major news sources, for each major event you get one or more stories on each feed, saying mostly the same things. I haven't seen a newsreader solve that problem. Has anyone tried an LLM? The best solution I know is grouping redundant stories togeth…
My YOShInOn RSS reader uses an SBERT model for classification (will I upvote this or not?) and large-scale clustering (20 k-means clusters and show me the top N in each cluster so I get a diversity of different articles.) For duplicate detection I am using DBSCAN https://scikit-learn.org/stable/modules/generated/sklearn.cl... and found some parameters where I get almost no false positives but a lot of duplicates get…
I have been attempting this exact sort of clustering solution for a few years now (on and off as a side project). Do you have source code available, or more detailed explanations/resources of how to approach this?
Edit: I just looked around for your YOShInOn RSS reader code and couldn't find it. I did find a number of references it looks like you've made to it on various forums, etc over the years.

Are you talking about NetNewsWire? There are folders, I have a bunch setup.

The technical report on YOShInOn is about 2 years overdue!
You mean the k-means for diversity or DBSCAN for duplicates? Either way it is about 10 lines of scikit-learn code. Send me an email.

NetNewsWire is free. https://netnewswire.com/
It wasn’t at the time.
Your right! I found this[1] which says it was $10 at launch.
So you paid $10 and helped support indie developers launch what, in time, evolved into an almost universally beloved app.
That should feel pretty good. Your tiny investment helped create something great!

Both. Just sent an email. Thanks!

I wish it had a more accessible scripting API - I use it locally, and back up saved stories, but I have to directly hit their sqlite database to extract data out of it :/
