News App: RSS Reader & More

I just launched my first native Mac application in the Mac App Store! It's called News App: RSS Reader & More and is available now in non-EU countries and should be available in the EU any hour/day now (forgot to fill out some Digital Services Act info). You can download the app from the Mac App Store here.

A quick rundown of features:

1. Feed types: RSS, JSON, Atom. GDELT and Polymarket feeds also supported.
2. Views: a standard 3-column view, a newspaper-style card view and a TV view which shows the articles with a Ken Burns effect+QR code (if you wanted to display it on a TV/monitor for passive news intake or if you hate cable news like I do)
3. News radio built-in - launching with 10 public radio stations integrated from NPR and CBC. Listen to the news while you browse your feeds
4. Light and dark modes
5. 10 themes with font/scale variations to choose from
6. Zero cloud or AI functionality. All of the feed data is stored locally on your Mac. Feeds can be refreshed automatically at the cadence you specify, and you can store the data for up to one year
7. Weather information conveniently integrated in the top toolbar (you can specify a city or use your location data)

I'm now a published app developer in the iOS App Store, Mac App Store and Google Play! I plan to keep shipping this year, and have a couple of apps on the burner so stay tuned!
