Thank you @jimmitchell for that tip, and thank you @tg for the heads up about the update.

I've been building an RSS reader for the past year. No unread counts, no inbox to clear. Just a river that flows at its own pace.
Today it's live on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. I wrote about everything that went into it.
@tg Instant buy! I appreciate the Miniflux support! I’d love an option to show feed favicons in River so I can quickly and visually discern which feed an article came from.

@tg This sounds really interesting, but I wasn’t sure about switching readers … then I saw it supports Feedbin, which is what I already use. Okay, sold.

@tg Oh excellent, looking forward to it! And my pleasure!

@tg This is a beautiful app, been giving it a try on iOS and macOS and I'm loving it.
Do you have any plans for Android down the line? asking for a friend 🥺
@hejchristian Yes! and thank you!
-
@tg This is incredibly beautiful. Thank you for this app.
@sashag thank YOU!

@tg Nice! I made an RSS notifier for similar reasons, just show me something new and I'll decide if I want to read it now, or save it for later. Your "velocity" system is beautiful
@gertkeno thank you!

@tg this is delightful! I’m enjoying reading all your decisions and rationale, and look forward to trying it out.
One thing I wonder if you have thoughts about: Why is so much of the interface at the top of the screen? In the era of Tall Phones, I find myself increasingly resentful of ever having to reach all the way up. Especially for common actions like back and close. Have you considered putting the Currents at the bottom of the screen? I intuit that I’d use them more naturally that way! 😄
@splendorr I played around with this a /lot/ and it just could not get it to feel right. I'll keep tinkering and hopefully figure it out and then offer a toggle in settings to let you pick where things go.

@splendorr @tg Thank you, Tina, for making me comfortable when I think, "that UI control on the top of the (phone) screen is too far to reach, dammit!" 😂
And thanks @tg for such thoughtful comments on the UX you crafted. And for writing, "I named the feeling phantom obligation: the guilt you feel for something no one asked you to do." 👍
@puzzled @splendorr thank you for reading!

@tg This reader looks beautiful, and the concept sounds well thought out. Though I’m not sure it would work for me. Some sort of demo mode before purchase would be welcomed.
@jxrxme i'd have to make it free with an in app purchase and that has /always/ felt like a bait and switch to me. I'll look into other possibilities ...

@tg I have to say that looks pretty cool. Good concept.

@tg Very nice! Thanks for this. Using it on my iPhone 13 and MacBook Air M1. Very calming and no numbers. I like that!

@tg Hi, I have a question: Does this also work as a podcatcher?

@pleonasticTautology no! not in the way you would want. But … another app for that with same philosophy … soon.

@tg oh, sweet! we've been having problems trying to find a good podcatcher for us, especially one that's on, y'know, everything.
a note for that: i do love seeing show notes (i listen to friends at the table, an actual play that writes connected fiction in the show notes frequently), so sort of option to surface them easily/by default would be neat :3

@alice I see a webcam business opportunity for an entirely new kind of audience here, all you need is one of those remote controlled thingies where viewers send money if they want to see the lock get opened.
