On my weblog I posted an update: what I’ve been doing and what’s the plan.

NetNewsWire 1.0 for iPhone

Brent Simmons — Thu, 10 Jul 2008 17:26:29 GMT

NetNewsWire 1.0 for iPhone! I never expected to ship another NetNewsWire 1.0, but here it is. ;)

It’s available on the iPhone App Store. It’s free, and it syncs with NetNewsWire for Macintosh, FeedDemon, Inbox, and our browser-based reader.

The idea is that NetNewsWire for iPhone is a news reader — for those moments when you have a minute to kill in the grocery store or whatever. It doesn’t do all the heavy lifting of subscription management — it’s all about showing you the latest news items, and making it easy to go through them. (You can also clip news items to save for later.)

Nick Bradbury: “NewsGator has partnered with ReadBurner, and as a result, it’s now dead simple to share your NewsGator clippings with ReadBurner. This means that FeedDemon, NetNewsWire, NewsGator Inbox and NewsGator Online customers can easily share their clipped articles with ReadBurner.”

Here’s how to share clippings in NetNewsWire. Once you have a clippings feed, you can go to ReadBurner and add it. (See Nick’s post for more details.)

MacTips: “One of the greatest things about the greatest RSS reader on the Mac, NetNewsWire, is how many things it can integrate with. It can go hand-in-hand with your blog, your Twitter account, your Del.icio.us account and many others because of its scriptability.”

If you’re like me and don’t automaticaly download enclosures, this helps you save the hassle of Copying the URL and pasting it into QT Player or such.”

ollicle: “This stylesheet for NetNewsWire loads the linked web page instead of displaying the feed itself.”

Use NewsGator’s bookmarklet to subscribe

Brent Simmons — Wed, 13 Feb 2008 18:08:18 GMT

David Chartier writes about using NewsGator’s subscribe-to-feed bookmarklet instead of having to launch NetNewsWire: “Major bonus points are awarded for the bookmarklet’s subscription process, as it allows feeds to be added directly to a folder.”

NetNewsWire 3.1.3 released

Brent Simmons — Wed, 06 Feb 2008 23:37:16 GMT

NetNewsWire 3.1.3 rolls back a change in the behavior of folders and the Latest News subscription. The change triggered a crashing bug for some folks, so we rolled it back. (We’ll get back to this issue with the next release—step one was to deal with the crashing bug.)

Nice post from Peter Rukavina: “Let me briefly sing the praises of the combination of NetNewsWire, my longtime RSS newsreader for the Mac, and NewsGator Mobile for the iPhone, a web-based application to which NetNewsWire automagically syncs.” He notes how clipping something using the iPhone reader causes it to appear in NetNewsWire.

Brent Simmons — Thu, 31 Jan 2008 05:14:16 GMT

zachholman.com: “NetNewsWire has an OPML export option, and I’m sure other readers do, too. I figured, hey, let’s just try to see if I can parse that export to see which of my subscribed feeds have WebClips.”
