Cyndicate RSS reader released
The Mac is not lacking for RSS reading solutions, led by TUAW favorite NetNewsWire, but more choice is good right? Cyndicate is a new feed reader, but with a good pedigree. It was developed by some of the original talent behind PulpFiction, an older feed reader which was sold and then fell out of active development. So in some ways Cyndicate is what PulpFiction should have become (Cyndicate includes an importer from PulpFiction and there is a limited time upgrade offer).
Cyndicate uses a three-paned interface very much like Mail.app. A few years ago the designer of both programs offered some justification for this with regards to PulpFiction. Whether you like this paradigm or not will probably depend on how you read your feeds. Personally, I still feel that NNW offers the most efficient methodology, but that may be primarily because I'm most familiar with it. Cyndicate does offer some interesting features revolving around searching, filtering, and smart folders that hold out promise for organizing the torrent of information hundreds of feeds bring in, so I'll be giving it a closer look.
Cyndicate is $29.95 and a demo is available.
