NetNewsWire, Kagi, maybe Orion? A few notes on some apps and services I’m switching for the New Year. * * * § For years I’ve been using the Reeder app on iPadOS for the bulk of my RSS feed reading. But a while back it launched a new version that works in a way that doesn’t suit my reading and, while the “classic” one is continuing, it feels a little like it won’t last forever. So I’ve given NetNewsWire another try. Every so often I have a look and it’s never felt quite right. But this time I think it’s stuck. It looks less elegant than Reeder, and lacks a couple of layout / interaction things that made Reeder nicer to use. But it’s definitely good enough. With my feed reading (and email newsletter reading) all based at Feedbin it’s really easy to switch from one reading app to another. So good. * * * § I’ve also decided to start paying Kagi search US$6/month. I liked the brief free trial I tried a while back but, while every single Google search I’ve done since has been annoying in several ways, each individual search wasn’t annoying enough to make me think “I’ll pay $6 to make these particular results better”. But I figured I should actually try it properly and see how it goes. It’s already refreshing to only see, you know, _search results_. * * * § Alongside that I’ve wondered about switching from Safari on macOS/iOS/iPadOS to Orion, from the Kagi folks. It’s the first alternative I’ve considered and it seems good. I like Firefox but they seem determined to gradually throw all good will away by making it worse. Crucially, Orion will sync my activity between all three devices, and can import bookmarks, history, etc from Safari. I would _definitely_ have switched if upgrading to macOS Tahoe hadn’t fixed an unbearable slowness in Safari that began a few months ago – typing anything in the URL/search bar resulted in a spinning beachball for ages. Restarting Safari fixed it for a brief while. But Tahoe has made Safari work again, so my gains from switching to Orion seem minimal. Nice that it can use both Chrome and Firefox plugins though… All that’s holding me back is thinking that if I decide to go back to Safari after a few weeks of trying Orion, I guess I’ll lose those weeks’ worth of history. And my memory needs all the help it can get. If you’re using it, let me know what you think.

Leaving Reeder, Returning to NetNewsWire The first time I switched RSS readers, it felt like moving flats. I boxed up my feeds, carried them down the virtual stairs in an OPML file, and swore—hand on keyboard—that this time I’d found a place with better plumbing and fewer leaks. Then the landlord sold the building. Then the council bulldozed the neighbourhood. And here I am again, comparing floor plans. My RSS story goes back further than I care to admit. I first started using it in 2000 with Radio UserLand, on a Mac at Sarnoff Corporation. Back then, RSS felt like magic: the web distilled into a river of headlines without the cruft. No algorithms, no engagement traps, just a pipeline from writers to me. Fast forward to 2006. I bought my very first Mac—a humble Mac mini—and installed NetNewsWire. Suddenly the whole internet was showing up neatly clipped and polished on my screen. No browser tabs multiplying like rabbits. Just feeds, glorious feeds. Then came 2010 and the iPad, which was marketed as the future of everything. I used NetNewsWire there too but soon after I [switched to Reeder](https://islandinthenet.com/review-reeder-for-ipad/_, which wasn’t just a reader—it was the most beautiful, tactile way to swipe through articles. I started using it the same year, and it quickly became my daily routine across Mac and iPad. Around that time, Google Reader had become the de facto backend. It was so good, so centralised, so convenient… that of course Google killed it in 2013. When Google announced the shutdown, I did what any panicked RSS junkie would do: I went hunting for lifeboats. I tested Feedbin, Feedly, Feed Wrangler, Fever, even standalone apps that stored feeds locally with no syncing. I even followed Dave Winer’s advice and set up my own River server on AWS. That experiment lasted exactly until the first bill from Amazon landed in my inbox. There’s something deeply humbling about paying $37 to host 12,000 headlines and one XKCD comic. At that point I realised River wasn’t just a quirky DIY option—it was a quirky DIY option with enterprise-grade cloud pricing. With that lesson learned, I kept searching. Eventually I picked Feedbin as the least painful option. It worked—until Reeder added iCloud sync, which meant I could ditch third-party services entirely. I dropped Feedbin and just let Apple’s cloud shuttle my unread counts around. Life was good again. What I’ve learned over the years is that when people say “top-rated” RSS reader, what they really mean is one that scores well on five things: friction—how fast you get from “new item exists” to “I’ve read it”; state—how reliably your read/unread survives two devices, a train tunnel, and a dodgy Wi-Fi repeater; scope—whether RSS really just means feeds or whether it also swallows YouTube, podcasts, Mastodon, Bluesky, and that one comic with the broken feed; control—filters, search, keyboard shortcuts, AppleScript on the Mac if you’re that sort of person (I am; it’s fine); and rent—whether you’re paying once, subscribing forever, or locked into someone else’s server. Once you accept those axes, the NetNewsWire versus Reeder choice stops being a duel and starts looking like urban planning. Different boroughs, different taxes, different vibe. NetNewsReader for iPadOS5 NetNewsWire today is the rare rewrite that didn’t forget why the old house stood up. It’s open source, properly Mac-native, and ruthlessly focused on the reading bit. It syncs with iCloud if I want zero third-party dependencies, or Feedbin, Feedly, Inoreader, BazQux, NewsBlur, FreshRSS if I don’t. It’s quick, minimal, and—crucially—it still thinks in unread counts. That matters. Unread counts are dopamine with a checkbox; they give me closure. Because it’s lean, it gets out of the way. I can hide read items, zip through “Today,” smash through a hundred posts without the UI sweating through its shirt. On macOS, I get proper keyboard control and AppleScript. On iOS, it’s snappy and predictable. It is, in the best way, boring. And boring is a feature. Boring ships. Boring survives. Reeder, by contrast, has always been the glossy magazine spread of feed readers. The typography, the gestures, the tasteful restraint—it’s the app I opened and thought, “ah, the developer cares.” In recent versions Reeder shifted its mental model to timeline position rather than fussy unread counts. New stuff piles up above where I left off; my job is to keep scrolling. That can be wonderfully zen if I’m allergic to badges and numbers. Reeder’s other pitch is scope. It wants to be where I follow not just RSS, but also podcasts and a grab-bag of feeds from the modern web: YouTube channels, Mastodon and Bluesky timelines, Reddit, comics, links. One inbox to rule them all. The curation features—filters by keyword or media type, shared and saved feeds—make it feel like a personal digest machine rather than just a pipe. The catch is the one you’d expect: trade-offs around sync and control. The newest Reeder syncs with iCloud—no external services—which is simple and private, but it means I’m not plugging into Feedly or Inoreader or BazQux. If my life were already anchored there, I’d have to run the “classic” Reeder or migrate. Some long-time niceties are gone too: fewer “power user” toggles in favour of cohesion. That’s not bad design; it’s an opinion. This is where most “best app” debates fall apart. People argue features, but what they’re really arguing is workflow. If I think of feeds like email—arriving, processed, archived—then NetNewsWire’s unread model, speed, and scriptability make me brutally effective. I’m in and out. If I think of feeds like a magazine I’m constantly editing—different media, different sources, saved and shared bundles—then Reeder’s timeline-plus-filter world matches that mental model. I read, I graze, I star, I publish a little river for Future Me. Neither is better. They’re different commitments. And that brings me to today. After twenty-five years of shuffling feeds between landlords, I’ve come full circle. I’ve uninstalled Reeder and moved back to NetNewsWire—on my iPhone, iPad, and Mac. I’m back where I started, only the dates have changed: Radio UserLand in 2000, NetNewsWire in 2006, Reeder in 2010, Google Reader in between, a frantic spin through Feedbin and River on AWS, and now, in 2025, home again. Worst case, I miss some of Reeder’s gloss and curatorial tricks. Best case, I get a simpler, more durable workflow that doesn’t depend on any single company’s whims. After Google Reader, that alone feels like a feature. RSS readers come and go. My feeds survive. And now, apparently, so does my loyalty to the app that got me hooked in the first place. ### Like this: Like Loading...

If I were to switch from #iOS to #Android the only big things I'd miss are:

- #NetNewsWire for #RSS
- #OvercastFM for #podcasting

Any equivalent suggestions? The bigger deal is Overcast. Need something with its smart speed (shortened silences) & voice boost (makes voices cleaerer) features.

This update by @bsky.app says rss feeds are rolled out.

Just tried with #netnewswire on Mac and it didn't pick up any feeds.

W3C validator also says there are no feeds. validator.w3.org/feed/check.c...

I looked into page source. Couldn't find.

What is the rss url for bsky profiles?
