NetNewsWire provides a sleek RSS reader design for Mac users. Its simplicity and elegance make it a popular choice for keeping up to date with news and other RSS feeds.
I recently tried out NetNewsWire 2, and I must say I was impressed with the updated features. This non-lite version brings several enhancements to the display of feeds. One notable upgrade is the introduction of the Ollicle Crisp style, which presents a fresh and modern look.
The 'meta' information associated with each feed is now presented in a neat block located to the right of the description. This feature keeps its position when users scroll the window, meaning that it's always on display.
However, if you choose to use the widescreen layout, then the feed text will take up the full width of the HTML pane, potentially obstructing the meta block. Fortunately, Ollicle Crisp comes with cleverly designed layout-specific styles that resolve this issue. The widescreen view ensures that the meta block sits underneath the news item description, so the user can swiftly access this information without any obstruction. Additionally, there is no need to worry about the meta information in the combined view since it is not displayed.
Lastly, enabling NetNewsWire's preference for highlighting feed changes results in the automatic display of the and elements when the cursor passes over the feed's description. This highlight feature emphasizes any differences between the current and previous versions of a news item description, making it more efficient to keep track of updates.
Overall, NetNewsWire 2 is a solid upgrade, and its intuitive features enhance the reading experience, making it a desirable option for users who value their time and appreciate the benefits of technology.
