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 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 @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." 👍

@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.

@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?” 😄

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

@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

@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.

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

@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 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!

@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.

@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.

I made it!!It was not even the save pod.
In the end I've smashed the corvette a bunch of times against some asteroids, then a few freighters came, I've shot at one and let the sentinels shoot me down.
I died, earned 1 point as pirate, but in the end I woke up back on the space station, outside that frigging corvette!!
🎉🎉🎊🎊🎊🎉🎊
Pity: in the new game I've started I've found two paradise planets in two systems, as soon as I've started. 😅
