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.
