I don’t understand who this is for.
It’s not a good RSS client because it doesn’t offer any specialised features (pulling content beyond what’s in rss, proper reader view, caching etc).
It’s an awful microblogging platform client because you can’t see context or comments. So then maybe you could set up another account, otherwise you’re going to get every new shitpost in your Tapestry (ewww). Then you wonder why not use this account in Mastodon client when it can be a list and skip bothering with another app.
It’s not a good YouTube app or whatever else they implement. It’s not going to be a good everything app because better apps exist for individual services and this developer doesn’t seem to have capacity to implement even the basics.
It does offer some cool features when you have a bajillion news sources but then you’d be kidding yourself that this app will let you browse them all. Maybe you’ll set up some cool alerts for stuff you’ll see elsewhere anyway.
I might be missing the point but this is really undercooked for what they try to charge.
Think of "Google News", but for social media and RSS... Or Google Reader for all of those.
The point isn't to be able to comment and whatnot, but to get all the things you want updates on, in a single pane of glass, so to speak.
That seems like such a narrow use case. I’m not sure why making it usable would have hindered people who want to use it like that.
Not being able to reply or see threads are just wild design choices IMO.
