One of the Best RSS Readers Is Back

Despite what companies like Apple and Facebook claim, you do not need a giant corporation telling you what news stories you should read every morning.

Over the years, NetNewsWire has changed owners a few times, but in late 2018, former owner Black Pixel returned NetNewsWires intellectual property to Brent Simmons, which he now uses as the name for an open-source Mac RSS reader he has been developing for about five years.
