If you’ve followed the team developing NetNewsWire, you know they’ve been relentlessly squashing bugs for weeks leading up to the launch and the dedication shows. I follow hundreds of feeds, and NetNewsWire loads new articles as fast and often faster than any other RSS client I’ve used. Like the Mac app, NetNewsWire is fast and reliable. The app benefits from the same careful attention to detail that the Mac app does, but adapted for the iOS/iPadOS environment.įor users, that means a few things. Whether it’s an iOS or iPadOS app moving to the Mac or the other direction, too often the core experience of an app is replicated without accounting for the unique qualities of the platform to which it’s being added. I wish I could say the same about most apps, but I can’t. One of the strengths of NetNewsWire is that if you’ve used the Mac app, the iOS and iPadOS version is immediately familiar, while also feeling right at home on an iPhone or iPad. However, this app on F-Droid looks like it would work perfectly.NetNewsWire running in dark mode on the Mac (left) and iPad (right). That's it!

This can be done by going to the Authentication settings, then clicking Allow API access (required for mobile apps), followed by Submit.įeedReader setup was also quite simple. The only tricky thing on the server side was ensuring the API was accessible. I ran into a few nags along the way, so here's a guide to how I set it up: -Īfter adding on some Traefik labels, I was a simple docker-compose up -d away from a full FreshRSS instance. However, these are minor issues given that I finally have a centralized location for all of my YouTube, Reddit, Twitter, PeerTube, Mastadon, podcast, and blog content. I must expose my FreshRSS instance to the internet, as, in order to allow clients to access it, I can't put it behind Authelia until I successfully manage to get my own VPN set up in the way I want. ![]() FreshRSS is written in PHP, which my strongly-typed Rust-loving self finds unsettling. FeedReader opens links in its native browser instead of my system browser, and I'm yet to find a way to avoid that without simply copying the URLs. This doesn't seem like much, but it has completely centralized my content consumption.
