NNW + Miniflux is my favorite combination and I’ve been using it for many years.

Not to take away from NetNewsWires accomplishments, but getting it was such a disappointment. Adding insult to injury, I had to pay to get the app on my iPad. It was one of the few apps I paid for and all I got was a deep sense of wasted money. Since the demise of Byline, I’ve been rocking Inoreader and have had no reason to look back. All I miss is Google Reader, but that’s never coming back. The only new thing I wa…

I love NNW, especially the new iteration since Brent got it back. Mac-assed software at its best.

The other day I was searching for how to turn a youtube channel into an RSS feed and tried all sorts of convoluted instructions for finding channel IDs, etc. At some point I thought this is the kind of user-centric thing that NNW has probably already thought of, and sure enough, if you just paste in a youtube channel URL as the feed, NNW sorts it out and creates a feed for you.

I thought YouTube had native RSS feeds for channels?
