- vincode 4y agoThe reports of my death are greatly exaggerated…
- PainfullyNormal 4y agoIs Brent Simmons no longer working on it?
- tantalic 4y agoFrom a quick look at the repository: his last comment on an issue was 8 hours ago and his last commit was in July.
- vincode 4y agoBrent is very much still active. He is the Founder, Project Manager, Product Manager, Release Manager, and much more for NetNewsWire. He just doesn’t have enough spare time to code as much as he would like.
- lawgimenez 4y agoVin is really helpful on GitHub and Slack. Dude is really approachable and willing to help out on anyone willing to contribute to NNW.
- vincode 4y agoThanks! I try to be approachable even when I'm not feeling like it. Brent Simmons really believes in community and kindness. I do my best not to let him down.
- cpach 4y agoHaha, awesome. Welcome to Hacker News!
- cpach 4y agoI’m not sure I would consider that a red flag for this particular project. Both RSS and NetNewsWire are very mature, they’ve been around for about twenty years.
- tantalic 4y agoI suspect you may know this, but for the sake of others reading the comments, this "version" of NetNewsWire started from the original developer of NetNewsWire (Brent Simmons). NetNewsWire had passed through two other owners and the final owner (BlackPixel) returned the brand back to Brent Simmons who had already started a new, open source RSS reader which has since been known as NetNewsWire 5 (but doesn't share code with the previous versions).
