Since it’s free, and plans to always be free the main developer (the amazing Brent Simmons) still needs to earn a living through some other means. This also means that the development could stop and if the community doesn’t pick it up then it’s simply done. So until someone decides to add another sync service, NetNewsWire will only have the few options it has now. In an interview I’ve heard with Brent Simmons he said that if someone wants to build in more sync services great, but more services may not be the priority for his time. This is actually one of the drawbacks of open source software. Yes there are () issues () for () sync (), but only start using an application if it currently has the features you need not because it maybe might get them someday.
I use Feedbin as my service of choice so I’m all good on either platform, but this feels like a fairly decent limitation of the application for all but a small cross section of users. !(/assets/reviews/netnewswire/netnewswire-ipados-sync-services.jpg) !(/assets/reviews/netnewswire/NetNewsWire%20macos%20sync%20services.jpg) That leaves a bunch of options out in the cold at least until someone wants to add those services.
Feedly is supported on the iOS version, but is not found on NetNewsWire for macOS. In fact you only have one cross platform option in Feedbin. These on device lists won’t sync between devices though. If you’re on macOS or iOS you can store your feed list on device and read new content. Currently, sync service support is sparse. Let’s start by looking at what both macOS and iOS flavours of NetNewsWire support. Today we’re going to look at how NetNewsWire stacks up to the current crop of competition. Fortunately for us, all that has changed recently as the original developer owns the name again and has released new versions for both macOS and iOS. Over the years it changed hands, and didn’t get updates, and changed hands, and generally wasn’t a great option anymore. When I started with a Mac around 10 years ago one of the first things I needed to find was a good RSS client and the top one at the time was clearly ().
