I wonder what exactly the author misses in Reeder. I've been using it for years, and did not even notice that it wasn't being updated. I have feeds. They have posts. I read (some). The end. There's nothing I'm missing, nothing that's broken. Complaining just about missing updates probably explains why the author never got to read anything: he was too busy fiddling with the reading experience.

I don't miss anything from Reeder, I use it on iOS already and it's all great. I also don't really have a problem with spending the money for Reeder. I'm just worried that in a few months when Mojave comes out all kinds of things are going to break and I have to look for a new solution.

  I'm running Reeder on the Mojave beta and ... nothing changed.

    That's great. Will it get updated to the new dark mode, will it get fixed if the new beta version breaks it? I was just trying to get a sign of life from the developer / developers. As someone else already said it has a history of activity and being abandoned for long stretches of time.

      It has always had a dark mode. Or, more accurately, 10 or so color schemes, half of them dark.

      >I was just trying to get a sign of life from the developer / developers This seems a little weird, no? Reeder's a one time purchase, not a subscription service or anything, so it seems kinda strange to be so worried about "a sign of life" for it. Lots of software used every day live in "maintenance only" or even "not maintained mode".

        I'm not demanding an SLA or monthly updates. It's the same as with pulling a dependency into your projects, you are checking if the author is still around, the issues are being worked on and if other people are using it too.

  This is one advantage Windows has over Mac. A straightforward windows app that worked fine in say 2004 on will still work fine in 2018. They don't break the damn system every year.
