We’ve released NetNewsWire 7.2 for Mac with a new column view layout: choose View > Use Column Layout to switch. (Choose it again to switch back.)
This is a new feature in the sense that the previous version of the app didn’t have it — but NetNewsWire of Yore, before the 2018 reboot, certainly had this feature. Even NetNewsWire 1.0 had this feature! In fact, back in those days it was the only layout. In some ways this is the oldest NetNewsWire feature and we’re celebrating its triumphant return. :)
We like this feature in part because it’s super Macintosh where the default timeline is definitely iOS-inspired.
Anyway. We’ve also added a second long-requested feature: you can now hide unread counts or replace them with a •, so you don’t have to deal with the anxiety of an ever-increasing unread count and the feeling like you have to get caught up. (Tip: remember that Mark All as Read is your friend!)
(The unread counts feature is also coming to the iOS app as soon as it gets through App Store review.)
