Its important to note too, that with the use of RSS / Atom feeds for so much more then blog posts that there are some really great use cases for this functionality. IвЂ™ll happily admit that the large majority of feed items I see do not contain microformats, but for those that do include events, contact info or related info this was a great feature.

Much of software development is a balancing act, and I canвЂ™t fault Brent for the choice here, but I also canвЂ™t help to feel a bit down on this loss. (It still looks for feeds in web pages, though, of course.) It also means a slight performance boost when opening news items and web pages, as NetNewsWire now doesnГўв‚¬в„ўt look for embedded microformats.

(I have no inside knowledge about CFXML being deprecated or anything Гўв‚¬вЂќ but it should be.) My favorite thing was deleting the microformats parsing code.

But splitting it up this way is my call - itвЂ™s easier for me personally to manage, and I ask for your understanding.Word from NetNewsWire developer Brent Simmons is that the next update to the great OS X feed reader will drop microformats support. Our wonderful, remarkable team of volunteers - working during their spare time during a pandemic and multiple other crises -В could have handled shipping both at the same time.

You might ask why weвЂ™re not shipping Mac and iOS at the same time.

The good news: the iCloud sync code is shared between the two apps, which means itвЂ™s already getting a thorough test.

Our plan is to ship NetNewsWire 6 for Mac first, and then start TestFlight builds for the iOS app, and then ship NetNewsWire 6 for iOS. This feature will come to NetNewsWire for iOS too, of course. WeвЂ™re Shipping the Mac App Before the iOS App So: be patient right at first and whenever youвЂ™re adding a bunch of feeds to your iCloud account. This can be especially noticeable when youвЂ™re just starting off with iCloud in NetNewsWire, or whenever you add a big number of feeds, because there will be a ton of data to upload. But syncing happens at the speed of iCloud -В and iCloud sometimes throttles the app: it tells NetNewsWire to back off and try again later. (Because of how iCloud works.) It May Be Slow at First NetNewsWire is designed for this, just as Mail is designed for multiple email accounts.Д«eing able to choose which feeds are synced where is powerful.Д«ut do note that you can have only one iCloud account in NetNewsWire. This is not new in NetNewsWire 6, but itвЂ™s worth pointing out: you can have an iCloud sync account and (for instance) a Feedbin account. (Which shouldnвЂ™t be difficult.) NetNewsWire Supports Multiple Accounts If you want to use NetNewsWire on one machine and another app on another, youвЂ™ll need to choose an RSS syncing system that both apps support. Each app gets its own storage, and other apps canвЂ™t see that storage. But you canвЂ™t sync those apps with NetNewsWire via iCloud -В AppleвЂ™s CloudKit doesnвЂ™t allow for that. Other RSS readers include iCloud syncing. If you used an online system you would not miss those, because online systems never take a day off. By Tuesday, when you launch NetNewsWire, some of the articles from Monday have already fallen off the feed. Say you take a Monday off and donвЂ™t launch NetNewsWire on any device. Imagine a feed that updates a hundred times a day. (This is true for both iCloud and On My Mac accounts.) This way the sources donвЂ™t see their requests.Д¬onsider your own preference when choosing to use iCloud sync or not.ДЄnother issue with this model: you could miss articles in fast-moving feeds. Many people prefer this, for privacy reasons -В it means their feeds list isnвЂ™t stored on some RSS syncing system.Д«ut some people prefer - also for privacy reasons -В not to read feeds directly: they like having a system that goes directly to the sources.

Here are some things to knowвЂ¦ It Reads Feeds DirectlyДЄn iCloud sync account is like an On My Mac account in that it reads feeds directly from the sources instead of going through a separate RSS system such as Feedbin or Feedly. This is great for people who use only NetNewsWire for reading feeds -В it means you donвЂ™t need an additional service or login aside from iCloud itself, which youвЂ™re almost certainly already using. (Latest beta 6.0b3 is recommended at this writing.) WeвЂ™ve added -В in addition to support for a bunch of online RSS systems - iCloud syncing in NetNewsWire 6.
