Slowly making progress

Screenshot of the ‘Feeds’ tab of my iOS app in dark mode. The list shows an icon and the name of each feed (Wired, TechCrunch etc.). There are 2 groups – News and Blogs, each with several feeds inside.

@sebj TestFlight when?!

sebj, 10 months ago

@JeroenSchaper Well, still a few things I want to add, and uh it needs an actual name and icon, which are historically my kryptonite 🥲

JeroenSchaper, 10 months ago

@sebj yeah, those things are the tougher parts 😅 Newsy came to mind but I don’t think that’s very good 🙈

It’s been a while! OPML import & export are working, folder sorting is in, plus adding feeds got a little polish.

I didn’t realise how much the app needed background refresh until I implemented it – much easier than I’d expected!

#iOSDev

Screenshot of the screen to add a custom feed from a URL. The feed name and icon are displayed at the top. Several recent articles are displayed at the bottom, gradually fading out.

UI's taking shape on #visionOS after a few adjustments.
#RSS

Screenshot of the articles inside a ‘Tech’ folder. Filter categories are shown as horizontal pills along the top. Articles are shown in 2 columns, with thumbnails and headlines. Glass ornaments for news and feeds are visible on the left edge of the window.

Little nervous, but it’s time to TestFlight my RSS news reader for iOS & visionOS. It’s deliberately designed as a feed for stress-free, anti-completionist reading, without unread counts.

It's a little rough around the edges, and I'm not sure if anyone’s interested in this kinda of thing, but if you are, please give it a try! https://testflight.apple.com/join/bCe8UVrf

An iPadOS screenshot in light mode. The left sidebar shows a list of added feeds, while the right 2/3 of the screen shows an article from Push Square with a top bar tinted to match the publication’s brand.
A visionOS screenshot, showing a grid of the latest gaming articles in one window on the left, and an article from Eurogamer.net open on the right. A menu is expanded, with options to summarize, listen to text, change text size, share and more.
