It's not on visionOS like the rest of my timeline (yet?) but my latest small side-project is so far an iOS RSS reader with some  News influences. Aiming for something to casually browse recent posts, without encouraging completionism using unread counts or badges.

An iOS screenshot of a list of news articles in light mode, the title is today’s date, and the tab bar shows ‘Today’ and ‘Feeds’. Each article shows the publisher’s name and icon, and how ago it was published.

Slowly making progress

Screenshot of the ‘Today’ tab of my RSS reader iOS app in dark mode. Title is July 8, subheading is News. Below that are several headlines, with a thumbnail, the publisher and the author listed for each.

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.

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!

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

Screenshot of an article from The Verge being displayed in a portrait orientation window. A glass ornament on the left shows two buttons, for news and for feeds. A menu in the top right of the window is expanded, with the options to summarize the article, listen to the text, change text size, share, and more.

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
