I’d like to use this space to praise everyone involved in creating and keeping NetNewsWire alive.

I (re)discovered RSS a few months ago via NetNewsWire, and it’s so calming and empowering to curate one’s own feed.

Rumors of RSS’ death are greatly exaggerated.

Nice! I'm also around 2000 feeds in my reader, carefully selected over a couple of years. Only difference: I always click through to the website to read an article.

Now in the process of slowly making RSS my only social feed. Have a hard time of leaving Youtube, but once I embedded the videos of the channels I follow in my RSS reader I see a way of not getting annoyed by the recommendation algorithm on their website anymore.

And a little thought to Aaron. We still miss you.

NetNewsWire is SO good - both the macOS and iPhone apps. Real labor of love. We are very lucky to have it.

I’ve always thought RSS seemed cool. Hope it has a renaissance with people leaving social media

Definitely my favorite mobile RSS app.

Personally I keep it syncing off TTRSS for filtering and automatic actioning on certain feed entries, but that aint everyone's cup of tea. I'd like to think NNW at least covers most people's use cases whether standalone or relying off another service to aggregate.

I'd like to share a preview of my RSS (&other sources) feed aggregator: https://aggly.com (designed to look better on desktops)

It’s still a work in progress, so treat this as an early preview before I submit it to Show HN. Feedback and criticism are welcome.

I love RSS but I didn't find good enough online reader that can be customized to my liking, so I built my own: https://jurakovic.github.io/dev-links/news/

I have many more ideas, but I don't have that much free time to implement all of it (even with Claude Code). But it serves me very well for now

Love it, also shoutout to NewsFire from the days of yore.

Just look at it, NNW is still using the same great design.
