@rizzi Congrats on shipping! Will there be an option to use Feedbin with the new one? @fj @rizzi +1 on this, I will not be adding all my feeds to a new app (Though I may opt to subscribe to some OPML files if that was possible: https://github.com/voxpelli/webring-opml#subscribe-to-it-in-your-feed-reader) @panzerboy @fj @rizzi I was initially skeptical, as a Feedbin user myself, but I've come to really like the new app's approach. I actually feel less stress checking my feeds and have come to enjoy the timeline approach. But definitely not for everyone, and its not meant to be. @cpekruhn I also catchup on my RSS feeds from Linux machines so will stick to Feedbin and Reeder classic for now @rizzi Subscribed to support, but I don’t think that’s gonna be RSS Reeder replacement for me for now. Are there any plans to bring some Reeder Classic features for Feeds in the new app? Like up/down navigation read/unread, etc? @rizzi Congratulations! Years ago, I had to reluctantly stop using Reeder because it had a weird issue when scrolling with my touch Wacom that made it unusable — scrolling would stop, jump, stutter, etc. I'm glad to say that the new Reeder scrolls just fine with my Wacom. But I still miss the old one, which continues to have the strange scrolling problem. Any chance that's something repairable? @dsokolovskiy @rizzi +1 would love to see youtube shorts being excluded from the timeline. The main reason for why I use Feedbin with Reeder classic to take advantage of its filters feature. @rizzi is the scroll position inside a post saved any synced? That’s been my biggest pain with trying to read long form content. @rizzi exciting and happy to subscribe! Two questions based on comparing my first experience to the previous one: @rizzi ref the lack of Feedly support I guess importing feeds from Feedly or from Reeder Classic would work. @multiuser @rizzi it did indeed work. All my feeds are great and seem quite workable. @rizzi Congrats! Please add the “unread” bubble to the app and to each source, otherwise I need to review each one manually. Thanks! @rizzi Congrats on the launch! The new app is just missing too much for me to switch (like organisation and layout options, or Feedbin’s muted phrases and email newsletter feeds). I look forward to future Reeder Classic features, and I’d definitely be willing to pay a subscription to help fund more frequent updates. @rizzi one slight suggestion for migrating users: It would be great to have an easier path to move RSS subscriptions to the new app (aside from OPML that is) @rizzi sorry but I can’t use it without the OPML subscription. That’s kinda neglecting free aspect. @rizzi I subscribed to support but I don’t see any reason why I would go from classic to this version. I don’t see any benefits to switching. What am I missing? @rizzi As an avid user of your software, I’m MORE than happy to support your work by buying the new version too (with yearly subscription), even if I keep using the the older version 🙂👍🏼 @rizzi Why is there no Lifetime avalable? I hate subscriptions. Everyone is doing this terrible subscription stuff. @rizzi Love what I see so far! How can I import my feeds from Reeder Classic? Do I have to subscribe first then use the OPML import feature? @rizzi awesome. Can I import my Reeder Classic feeds or so I have to add them all manually again? @simonharper feeds can be exported in Reeder Classic as OPML and then imported into the new Reeder @dantemh only if you subscribe. Seems a shame. Surely the import process could give the user a pic list of just 10 (the free limit) feeds to import. @rizzi Congrats on the launch! A lifetime IAP would be an insta-buy for me, regardless of price. Not interested in subscriptions and renting software. @rizzi looks very nice! Congrats on the release! Will definitely try it out. Though, due to my dependance on Miniflux for syncing accross platforms, I can't promise I'll stick to it. Happy Reeder Classic user though... 😂🤷♂️ @rizzi the new version looks great! I would have upgraded in a flash, but I am not taking YA subscription… I hope you’ll consider a lifetime upgrade option (or an Agenda-like option of “get the new features as long as you subscribe and keep the app as-is once you stop" in the future. @rizzi seems great so far. I see myself getting great usage. @rizzi congrats on the release. Due to missing FreshRSS support i probably won‘t move my main RSS feed collection over. As that is my main news source on all my different devices I can‘t drop it. But I have a secondary feed which currently sits at Feedly with 1000s of Game feeds from Steam. I‘ll probably move this over to test the new App. @rizzi Some initial feedback: 1) Entering an incorrect feed URL requires you to go back to correct it, which was unintuitive. @rizzi Looks great so far, the only issue I’m having is subscribing to feeds that are subscriber only - meaning the special link I’m provided fails 😞 @rizzi It’s beautiful, and I like the direction you're exploring here that's different from a traditional RSS reader. It reminds me of @Iconfactory Tapestry in concept. One request, though: can you make the colors configurable, or at least provide more schemes? The default is very low contrast and hard for my old eyes to read. @rizzi I have been using and bought new versions of Reeder sight-unseen without question since 2010. Lack of 3rd party sync support is unfortunately a deal-breaker with the new Reeder. I hope Reeder Classic continues to be maintained in the future. I'd even pay a yearly sub for that to continue to be developed and supported. @rizzi I’m a Canadian user in the subscription model says one dollar per month or $14 per year. Which doesn’t seem correct. I think the monthly subscription should be showing as more? @rizzi this is gorgeous! I love that I can follow people and channels without needing an account on the platform they’re using. Really nice, and I love how you’ve separated the feeds by content type for when I’m in the mood to watch / listen to something. Thank you! @rizzi Congrats! Already loving having my feeds, YouTube subs, and important subreddits all in one place. :) Feedback: Scroll in the other direction please. 👍 @rizzi loving the new app so far! Just one piece of feedback: could we have an option to have the item title at the top and the source below? I find it a bit distracting seeing the source first all the time! @rizzi Voilà je viens de prendre l’abonnement pour un an ! Franchement, l’équivalent de quelques cafés pour une app qui va me servir tous les jours … c’est pas cher payé. La bêta m’a convaincu et l’essayer c’est l’adopter. Bien sur je suis un fervent supporter et utilisateur du « Reeder Classic » qui va continuer à me servir lui aussi. Merci 🙏 monsieur Rizzi @rizzi This is what I feared the most: Subscription based. The beauty of Reeder lay precisely in the fact that you could purchase a license for the version and use it indefinitely. @rizzi Woah. A lot to wrap my brain around here. But I do for sure miss using J/K keys for next/previous in combo with the spacebar. Even more, I miss being able to use the spacebar to both page down through an individual post and also jump to the next post when I reach the bottom of one. Anyway, this is a trip, so different. Congrats on the release. @rizzi Congratulations. Love so many of the ideas here. Saw your list of future todo items, please add a vote for display customization. Reeder Classic became my go-to app initially due to the ability to use giant fonts across all the UI. Need this to be able to move to the new app, exclusively. Also don't need the article text or thumbnail images in the list view, but that's a lower priority. Again, great work, and looking forward to using the app even more! @rizzi congratulations on the launch! The one big thing I’d love is a swipe gesture to enter the share sheet (or ideally to automatically add it to an external read later app configurable in settings). Being able to add items quickly to Readwise Reader is the one thing keeping me on Classic right now! @rizzi Congrats on shipping. I will mention that the subscription pricing doesn’t make sense. It costs more for a yearly subscription than paying monthly $1 for a month @rizzi I was waiting for https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/iconfactory/project-tapestry and you dropped this! Very interesting evolution. 😀 @rizzi Wait wait wait.. is this a combined RSS + ActivityPub reader app?? :pikasurprise: @rizzi congrats on the launch! Very cool that you are continuing to support the classic version. I’m a long time user so I’m not yet sure which version I’ll like more, but will certainly give the new one a try. @rizzi Looks great, however no integration with Inoreader is an absolute dealbreaker: I need access on the web to my feeds as well as in the app @rizzi The new Reeder is great and I’m looking forward to seeing where it goes. Congrats! |
A note to Reeder Classic users:
For this release, I’ve tried to cover any questions you might have about the new Reeder and Reeder Classic in the FAQ:
https://reeder.app/help#faq
There's no pressure to upgrade. As mentioned before, both apps will coexist. The new Reeder is free to download, so feel free to give it a try.
