It might be cool, but definitely not new! It just turned 20. https://netnewswire.com/history

Yeah, I remember it from way back. I can’t recall why I stopped using it, I’ve been using Feedly for RSS for 5 or 10 years now.

I switched from NNW to something else, I think something that synced with mobile perhaps, but was based on Google's RSS infrastructure.

And then Google killed their RSS infrastructure, and I stopped using RSS entirely.

I am mostly to blame in this, for trusting Google, but at least it was a lesson on something like RSS instead of something absolutely essential, like email. I soon transitioned away from Google for all essential internet services, and will never depend upon them again for anything.

Any service of Google that is not considered as a core by them cannot be relied upon at all.

Of course! I meant the same.
