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

[tg@indieweb.social]

@roninwood Yes, that's coming in the next feature release!

[roninwood@mastodon.social]

@tg AMAZING! Thank you so much. SUPER STOKED

[tg@indieweb.social]

@jimmitchell @ctt apple approved, this should be available to update now!

[mauvedeity@mastodon.social]

@tg argh! I am literally agog to try this on my computer, but due to circumstances beyond my control, that won’t happen just yet. But thank you for posting. This is simply astonishing stuff. I love the idea of what you have done here.

[lrhodes@merveilles.town]

@tg I assume there shouldn't be any problem using it as a frontend for FreshRSS, yeah?

[tg@indieweb.social]

@lrhodes yup, freshrss is supported. If you run into anything with it, do let me know and I'll get it patched up quick.

[hejchristian@mastodon.social]

@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 🥺

[sashag@anarres.family]

@tg This is incredibly beautiful. Thank you for this app.

[gertkeno@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@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

@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! 😄

[puzzled@coales.co]

@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." 👍

[jxrxme@metalhead.club]

@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.

[splendorr@mastodon.social]

@puzzled @tg heck yeah! and of course: I know there can be reasons to put things up there. I’ve wanted bottom-of-the-screen controls in MANY instances on my phone; always anchoring Back to the top left, and Close to the top right, feels especially bad to me personally.

But I don’t ask it as a challenge, simply, “Hello fellow thoughtful person! What do you think?” 😄

[seiz@mastodon.social]

@tg Sounds interesting. Unfortunately, there is no trial version.

[piyuv@techhub.social]

@tg congrats on the launch. As a staunch @NetNewsWire fan, I can’t wait to try this out. I’ve followed the evolution of the discussion with @brentsimmons and I love the implicit agreement on beauty of inter-operability of RSS and providing choices (frontends) to the users

[benjamineskola@hachyderm.io]

@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.

[ctt@social.lol]

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

[josh@mastodon.bleep.social]

@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@indieweb.social]

@benjamineskola 🙏

[tg@indieweb.social]

@josh just waiting on Apple to approve the next update :) thank you for trying out Current!
