  I built an RSS reader for iPhone, iPad and Mac that ranks your feeds by how many sources covered each story. 50 codes for a free year of Plus

  Hi r/rss, I'm a solo dev and Ferry is my first app. It's an RSS reader for iPhone, iPad and Mac, and I wanted to share it here because the interesting part is what it does with the feeds you already follow.

  What's different: most readers sort by newest. Ferry also counts how many outlets across the web are covering each story and can rank by that, so a story ten of your sources ran sits above whatever just came in. Under each headline it shows how many feeds carried it, and you can tap to read every version side by side.

  The RSS side of it:

  • OPML import and export, so you can bring your feeds from Feedly, Inoreader or anywhere else
  • Syncs with FreshRSS. Inoreader, BazQux and The Old Reader support is coming soon.
  • Folders, smart folders, offline reading, Spotlight search, widgets
  • No account and no identifiers. The server never learns which feeds you follow or what you read.
  • On iPhones with Apple Intelligence it can summarise where outlets agree and where one breaks from the rest. That runs on the device.

  The free version is fully usable. Plus adds the Trending sort for your own feeds, the full coverage view and all Discover topics. It's a monthly or yearly subscription, with a one-time Lifetime option.

  I have 50 codes for a free year of Plus. DM me and I'll send you one, first come first served. It's a normal App Store subscription, so it renews after the year unless you cancel; you can turn off auto-renew right after redeeming and still keep the full year.

  Honest feedback, good or bad, is what I'm after. What would make you switch from your current reader?
