Simmons has said that other sync services are on the roadmap for future development, which is good to hear. As a complete reboot of the app with a brand-new codebase, itвЂ™s understandable that the app only works with one sync service at launch.

The advantage of using something like Feedbin over syncing locally to your Mac is that many iOS feed readers support Feedbin too, so using the service as an intermediary between NetNewsWire and a different iOS reader will keep the read-state of your feeds in sync across both apps.ДЇeedbin is a good place for NetNewsWire to begin integrating with sync services because itвЂ™s used by a lot of people and other feed readers. If youвЂ™ve set up a Feedbin account in NetNewsWireвЂ™s Preferences, youвЂ™ll also see a Feedbin section in the sidebar. NetNewsWire can store items from the feeds you follow locally or sync with Feedbin. NetNewsWire also supports importing OPML files, which is the format that most apps and services (NetNewsWire included) offer for exporting the list of feeds you follow.

You can subscribe to feeds directly from NetNewsWire by clicking the plus button in the toolbar or choosing вЂNew FeedвЂ™ from the File menu, or from Safari with the appвЂ™s extension, which pre-populates the вЂNew FeedвЂ™ form with a siteвЂ™s feed URL. The app wonвЂ™t be my primary Mac feed reader until it has more syncing options or the planned iOS version is released, but if your feed reading is limited to the Mac or you use Feedbin to sync your feeds to iOS, NetNewsWire is an excellent choice. NetNewsWire 5 is a thoughtfully-designed, fast app with powerful search. The time and hard work by Simmons and other contributors to the open-source project are apparent.

NetNewsWire 5 is an all-new, free app rebuilt from the ground up using EvergreenвЂ™s code, but bearing the name of SimmonsвЂ™ original feed reader. NetNewsWire comes with a built-in set of feeds to get newcomers started.

But then in 2018, he reacquired the rights to NetNewsWire from Black Pixel, bringing the app back to where it started for the first time in 13 years. Simmons began working on a new open-source RSS reader called Evergreen in 2015. In 2005, the app was purchased by NewsGator, then Black Pixel bought the app in 2011. The appвЂ™s roots stretch back to 2002 with NetNewsWire Lite 1.0, which Brent Simmons developed. If youвЂ™ve been using RSS for any length of time, youвЂ™ve undoubtedly heard of NetNewsWire, but may not be aware of its long history. ItвЂ™s into this landscape that NetNewsWire 5 launches today. As IвЂ™ve noted before, many of my favorite RSS readers for iOS donвЂ™t have Mac counterparts, and those that do havenвЂ™t been developed with the same regularity weвЂ™ve seen on iOS. However, feed reader options havenвЂ™t been nearly as robust on the Mac. New sync services arose, and RSS readers flourished on iOS, where competition to provide users with new and innovative ways to read their favorite feeds has been fierce. However, a funny thing happened in the aftermath of Google ReaderвЂ™s demise.

For many, social networks like Twitter filled the void, leading some observers to declare the death of RSS.

After Google Reader disappeared, a lot of people drifted away from RSS readers.
