Ask TUAW: What would you change about NetNewsWire?
I just realized it's been a while since we've done a "what would you change" post. In the past we've covered a lot of Apple's big hitters like Safari, Mail and iMovie, so I thought we'd delve into one of the more popular 3rd party apps out there: NetNewsWire.
Since NNW can boast the largest newsreader app user base whether on Windows or OS X, I figured it would make great fodder for feature requests, changes, improvements and bug complaints. What's even better is the fact that I myself, and most of the other NNW users I know, practically live in the app; in fact I know that I now spend far less time in a browser than I do in NNW.
With all that said, however, it certainly isn't without its issues. A new feature I'm dying for is a far more robust flagging and labelling system, like I think NewsMac Pro does. The ability to assign (and organize by) different kinds and colors of labels would be a thing sent from code-ninja-heaven in my book. I would also love more customizable icons of feeds and groups, much like how BlogBridge allows for group icons. This would help a lot with finding *that one* feed or group in lists of 250 feeds and groups, like I have.
But enough about me and my NetNewsWire wishes - what about you, valiant TUAW (news) readers? What are your feature requests, fixes and bug complaints for the web's most popular newsreader?
