alt Hacker NewsHands down the best RSS reader I've used. It's fast, tiny, built extremely well, and has no flab. It sits in a certain class of application along with Alfred and a handful of others in being a standout example of craftsmanship that's reminiscent of the golden era of OS X. More apps should strive for this standard.

Speaking of Alfred, there’s also a Raycast[0] extension for NetNewsWire allowing one to combine the two[1].
Disclaimer: I authored the extension but like most Raycast extensions, it’s open-source[2].

I love it too, but I would still like some concept of folders, so that I could sort my feeds into eg. programming, design, hobbies, and then have a feed to match the mood.
I wish it had a more accessible scripting API - I use it locally, and back up saved stories, but I have to directly hit their sqlite database to extract data out of it :/
