NetNewsWire Status

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, 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.
