NetNewsWire 的现状与纯粹的开发精神NetNewsWire Status

simonwillison.net·2026-06-17 节选正文

开发者 Brent Simmons 在退休后接手了始于 2002 年的经典 RSS 阅读器 NetNewsWire,致力于在没有商业压力的环境下将其打磨到极致。这款被描述为“阅读版的播客”软件,代表了纯粹为了用户体验和软件工艺而开发的开源精神。作者的分享不仅是对该软件当前发展状况的介绍,更是对这种远离商业化喧嚣、专注打造单一精品软件态度的赞叹与致敬。这种“为爱发电”的项目证明了脱离功利主义依然能诞生卓越的软件产品。

NetNewsWire Status (via) I find this inspiring. Brent Simmons retired a year ago, and his retirement project is making one piece of software really, really good - free from any commercial pressure.

The software is NetNewsWire - "it's like podcasts, but for reading" - first released in 2002 and made open source in 2018.

I've been using it on Mac and iPhone for several years now and I'm finding it indispensable.
