I've been building an RSS reader for the past year.

@tg just bought this, it's really interesting! a couple questions:
- do my settings sync between iphone and Mac? I tried setting a feed to "News" but then the setting didn't seem to carry over
- sometimes when I press "Edit Source" in the app it takes 5-10 seconds for the "edit" dialog to appear, is there any way I can speed it up?
- if i tagged a source as "news" is it normal that I see items from that source from 13 hours ago?@b0rk hello! thank you!
- yes, they should sync. there was a race condition happening with icloud that presented with some of the issues you're having, but the fix is ready and should be released today by apple.
- that dialogue should /not/ take that long, i'll add some debugging for this.
- no, i think that is probably due to the settings not syncing (and in some cases saving) right (race condition things), i'll make sure this works appropriately as well. -
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 I absolutely love it! The concept is very good for reducing FOMO, especially when on vacation.
It has a mature feature set and feels great to use.I want to use it more, but I‘m currently using Inoreader. Any plans to add it as a sync service?

@Tonus not anytime soon, but web at some point... relatively soon!

@tg nice, it would be nice to release the river at the bottom when swiping up (oldest first mode)

@tg awesome, thanks for the reply!
@b0rk of course! Also, I’ve been reading everything you post for ages. Thank you for writing so awesomely

@Inoreader @ahmetasabanci hello! could you dm or send me the right email? I've reached out /many/ times over the past few weeks and not gotten a response. i have collected nearly 100 users asking for inoreader integration so far :)
@tg @ahmetasabanci Hi Terry! 👋 We found your message in our spam folder and have replied to you by email. Could you check your inbox (and spam, just in case)? Looking forward to continuing the conversation there!

@tg It looks like the workflow is from the perspective of a person releasing individual entries on the go. I usually skim over article topics, read what is interesting and then release everything leftover unread. Just a wish.

@tg Otherwise, I like the idea and the execution :-)

I left “always fetch full article” unchecked but it often feels like it’s fetching the article anyway, because the content isn’t what I expect and the loading isn’t instant

@thinkberg hold down on the "river" in the top nav and you shall find what you seek!

@b0rk fantastic idea, I'll add this in as a setting. The app does its best to try to figure out which has more content to show you with some comparison logic, but it's possible it's including things that aren't quite "content". I'll get this out with v1.0.4

@tg i found that, but I remember from other apps where dragging further releasesand it felt natural

@thinkberg It's added as an option for swipes in 1.0.4!

@tg the issue is partly, on a newer iphone pro that button is far away at the top
