Shrook

I've been using Shrook for about half an hour but I already prefer it to NetNewsWire. This is no mean feat: NNW was previously my favourite RSS reader on any platform. On Windows, only the up-and-coming FeedDemon even comes close (and it's not quite there yet, though it's still in beta).

Why is Shrook so good? Forget the highly innovative "distributed checking" for a moment (this sounds useful but I haven't had time yet to judge how useful). Here are my favourite bits so far:

  • Built-in web page view (no switching to Safari all the time)
  • A new items view (arranged by date, a bit like you get in FeedDemon)

I don't have a good idea about performance and reliability yet — let's see.

(Thanks to BoingBoing for telling me about Shrook.)
