> There are three big things that remain before the first feature-complete build (which will be 5.0a1): searching, the app icon, and syncing with FeedBin.

[NetNewsWire](http://ranchero.com/netnewswire/) got me hooked on RSS over 12 years ago. Now it's open source and rewritem from scratch in Swift. I have been using the alphas for a while and it's the same great app from all those years ago. Can't wait to get the [Feedbin](https://feedbin.com) sync feature, it's my preferred sync service.
