Hey devs,
I worked on simple desktop RSS Reader made for the desktop. It's a simple reader with minimalistic UI and no extra distraction like social media sharing or recommendation engine. Simply subscribe to favorite feeds you love to read and stay up to date directly on your desktop. No user account needed. It also supports offline reading, that is you can save articles for offline if there is no internet connectivity.

Nice work. I just downloaded and started playing around with it. The icon looks amazing. Are there any feeds you're a fan of that you'd recommend?
Hey Geoff, thanks!
My career all started with startup companies. So I mostly like to follow tech news. Some of the favorite ones I mostly follow is Codrops love their weekly collections. Then I like food too so sometimes I follow food feeds like Munchies and rest are either Wired, TechCrunch, Verge or political news like Vox.
There are more features yet to come in upcoming releases that are syncing with other apps like inoreader, Tiny Tiny RSS etc. So stayed tuned.
