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.

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

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.

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

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