Edit: My previous fix of ByeDoom isn't working on other channels. I'm flummoxed. Maybe it's time to just go back to (only) books. The internet sucks too much of life anyway.

I'm trying to reduce #YouTube time, which for me means using an RSS reader to check my favorite channels rather than going to YouTube directly. By doing this I reduce distractions (and #RSS is glorious anyway).

I used to be able to just put the channel URL into #NetNewsWire and it would pick it up, but that doesn't seem to work now. I found instructions for how to use Command-F to find the channel ID in the page source, but that didn't work either. I've tried a few other things (adding /feeds/video.xml to the URL) and no luck.

In another weird twist: I already have some YouTube channel feeds in my reader. They're updating normally. But if I copy that feed's url and put it into my browser window? It says YouTube can't find the feed. What the heck?

Has anyone had luck following YouTube channels with RSS?

Nice script to add to your #obsidian vault starred articles from #netnewswire .

#NetNewsWire utility theme

Does anyone known if it is possible to configure #NetNewsWire to only refresh manually?

I couldn’t find such an option in the mobile apps. I still hope I did not know where to look.

I searched Github issues too.

I hope @gruber or @brentsimmons could share a hint.

23 years later, NetNewsWire is still the one…

NetNewsWire 1.0 for Mac shipped 23 years ago today! 🎸🎩🕶️

Here’s where things are on this particular February 11: we just shipped 7.0 for Mac and iOS, and now we’re working on NetNewsWire 7.0.1.

After a big release, no matter how careful we are, there are often some regressions to fix and tweaks to make right away, so we’re working on those. Here’s the milestone with the current to-do list.

I’ve tried miniflux and it was great. However, I always keep coming back to NetNewsWire because the Mac is my platform of choice and NNW is the best RSS reader for the Mac. Yes, even after 23 years. This is especially true as my home server is not necessarily something that I can keep running once I no longer have a home.

NetNewsWire ist unlängst an das zeitgenössische Design der Apple-Betriebssysteme angeglichen worden. Und es sieht klasse aus. Nach anfänglichen Bedenken habe ich mittlerweile einen Faible für den aktuellen Look der OS über alle Geräte entwickelt.
