My 2 cents on this one, this blog turned me on to News Explorer and I thank you for it.

I want to love NetNewsWire but it didn't quite work how I expected in some particular ways, News Explorer does.

Glad to see it continue to get updates, it was quiet for a while there and there were a couple bugs.


I got really disappointed with Brent after submitting a PR to implement a feature that was requested several times: printing.

https://github.com/Ranchero-Software/NetNewsWire/pull/4621

The response was … bizarre. The "modern" "forward-looking " RSS protocol user sees printing as too "archaic" and "old-fashioned".

Ever since I just can't bring myself to use NetNewsWire anymore.


Ha, and it seems News Explorer supports printing, as any textual app that respects itself should.


I switched from NetNewsWire to Feeeed after Brent refused to support filtering.
