And the Substack web template is perfectly pleasant.īut I really wanted to read my newsletters in the NetNewsWire interface without an extra tap.

Since the revival of NetNewsWire I’ve been slowly introducing RSS reading back into my daily routine, generally in the morning when I’m reading all those other things. The result of that approach was that I stopped reading most of my newsletters most of the time.īut then I found a solution that worked for me, and so maybe it’ll work for you. Which I can do, yes, but it requires me to remember to seek them out every morning and becomes a chore. The most obvious one is to log in to the various websites where the newsletters reside, visit them in Safari, and read them there. There are a few solutions for this problem.

However, over the years have experienced many new ways to consume my news including Feedly and News+.
