NetNewsWire is a very neat RSS reader for MacOS and iOS, supports iCloud synchronization, and is completely free.
I have been using NetNewsWire, but I only saw the story of NetNewsWire a few days ago: from an independent developer, to being acquired, to being acquired twice, and finally back to the original author (free). It has also witnessed the process of the Web from monopoly to openness to monopoly. Looking through the author’s blog and official website, I found an article written by the author ” How to Support NetNewsWire “, which even agrees with me. The following are preserved for translation:
First: don’t give money. This app was born out of love, not for money. NetNewsWire focuses on three things:
- open internet
- High-quality, open-source Mac and iOS apps
- A community that loves both
It is enough to support these. If you really want to do something practical, here are some references (in no particular order):
- Blog instead of tweeting or posting on Facebook (where you can retweet after blogging).
- Use an RSS reader, not necessarily NetNewsWire.
- Recommend RSS readers to others, and blog about RSS or other technologies or products related to the Open Internet.
- Recommend products to macopenweb .
- Develop Mac and iOS apps that help realize the vision of an open internet.
- Donate to organizations that aim to increase literacy (basic education).
- Tell others about the good blogs you found.
- Support for independent podcasts and related applications.
- Vote for political candidates who are not brutal.
- Support your local library.
- Work boldly and hard.
- Support independent developers and pay for their apps. Most applications are not free like NetNewsWire, because it costs money to develop and maintain applications.
- Finally: report bugs to us and make feature suggestions. Or, raise a bug or suggestion to someone more in need.
