#netnewswire — Public Fediverse posts

I got back into reading RSS feeds and decided it was time to get my standalone (AI-slop) blog into proper shape.

The feed now includes full readable article content, and it even pre-renders Mermaid diagrams inside the RSS reader! (On the website, diagrams are rendered client-side.)

Also: XCancel offers #RSS feeds for every account page, so you can “follow” X accounts via #NetNewsWire without having to even have an X account. That was always my favorite way to use Twitter because I don’t really engage, just read. https://daringfireball.net/linked/2026/09/11/xcancel-is-back

@blinry The same thing as the last two and a half decades: #NetNewsWire. Just the sync service is now #iCloud since #GoogleReader was murdered.

One of my favorite blogs: https://nilcoalescing.com/blog/ - Natalia and Matthaus are constantly providing some new, interesting insight and highlighting bits of UI that I missed earlier with SwiftUI.

If you do any macOS or iOS GUI app development, stick it into your feeds on #netnewswire, you won't regret it.

Remember to block ads as much as possible, the service doesn't even need to be hacked for any paying idiot to serve malware

Thanks for the RSS link!
Subscribing to the feed is as easy as dropping the web URL on the feeds pane in #NetNewsWire

I see that NetNewsWire has already removed the icons from their menu items. Thank you and woohoo! The world is healing #netnewswire #liquidglass

@trezzer thanks for the leads! :) #netnewswire looks promising and did not come up in my limited search!

That’s 20 years of reading RSS feeds made possible by this one application. 20 years of being delighted by writing, 20 years of knowledge gained. Thank you Brent Simmons; thank you NetNewsWire.

Brent Simmons: NetNewsWire Status. “My hope for retirement was to get a lot of work done on NetNewsWire. A year ago it was in sore need of modernization, tech debt pay-off, and bug fixes. People were asking for features, but the foundation needed a ton of work before I could get on to adding new rooms. Here are some highlights of what we’ve done with 2,188 commits in the past year.”

Updated @NetNewsWire and now I get three columns (blog list, post list and post) side by side on iPad. The post is so narrow that it is hard to read until I manually close the left-most column. I don’t remember having to do that before upgrading. Did I miss some setting? #NetNewsWire

Okay, ich starte dann mal wieder mit RSS. Wird ein hartes Stück Arbeit, mir das zurecht zu kuratieren, aber ich will halt durchaus zurück zu 2006, als die Welt noch in Ordnung war.

#NetNewsWire #RSS

Worauf ich voll Bock habe: Wieder RSS-Feeds mit #NetNewsWire am Mac zu lesen,

Worauf ich keinen Bock habe: Mir meine perfekte Blogroll zusammenzukuratieren, die die exakt richtige(TM) Menge an Posts pro Tag hat.

@natematias
I’ve also found that NetNewsWire is very good at discovering an rss or Atom feed if one exists, given just a base URL.

Many public sites don’t advertise their RSS / Atom support, so it’s worth a try.

Edit: My previous fix of ByeDoom isn't working on other channels. I'm flummoxed. Maybe it's time to just go back to (only) books. The internet sucks too much of life anyway.

I'm trying to reduce #YouTube time, which for me means using an RSS reader to check my favorite channels rather than going to YouTube directly. By doing this I reduce distractions (and #RSS is glorious anyway).

I used to be able to just put the channel URL into #NetNewsWire and it would pick it up, but that doesn't seem to work now. I found instructions for how to use Command-F to find the channel ID in the page source, but that didn't work either. I've tried a few other things (adding /feeds/video.xml to the URL) and no luck.

In another weird twist: I already have some YouTube channel feeds in my reader. They're updating normally. But if I copy that feed's url and put it into my browser window? It says YouTube can't find the feed. What the heck?

Has anyone had luck following YouTube channels with RSS?

Nice script to add to your #obsidian vault starred articles from #netnewswire .
