  Newsairy 1.15 — Article Info (a closer look at where every article comes from)

  Hi r/rss, a quick update on Newsairy, the iCloud-native RSS reader I've been building. It's been a few releases since I last posted here (1.11 in July), so a quick recap before the headline:

  • 1.12 — add a feed by pasting the website's address, not just the feed's; Newsairy finds it for you
  • 1.13 — a rebuild of how the app shares state under the hood, much faster large archives (tested with 150,000 articles), and a Shortcuts action to add a feed from outside the app
  • 1.14 — full YouTube channel support (video, description and thumbnail, right in the article), and a fix for an Inoreader sync bug where read/starred state stopped syncing once your account had nothing left unread or unstarred

  And now 1.15 adds an Article Info sheet, opened from any article's context menu: where it's from (the feed's name and which archive it lives in — local, iCloud, or one of the aggregators), its published/updated/read dates, its read and starred state (switchable right there), and when retention will remove it. Feed Info also picked up two more lines: the feed's format (RSS, Atom, JSON) and the date of its newest archived article, so a feed that's gone quiet gives itself away at a glance.

  I built it mostly for smart feeds and folders, where an article shows up without the usual context of "which feed is this from again?" - now that's one tap away instead of a guess.

  For anyone who hasn't come across it: Newsairy syncs over iCloud across iPhone, iPad and Mac, and Pro adds sync with TheOldReader, Miniflux, FreshRSS, Feedbin and Inoreader. One-time purchase, no subscription, no ads, no tracking.

  I have a long todo list, but I'm always open to suggestions - if there's a feature or a use case you'd like to see, let me know.
