I got the ick from Google News and couldn’t find a news app that just showed my sources, algorithm-free. So I shipped a human-first iOS app without mentioning RSS anywhere. Just “follow the sites you want to read.” 2 weeks in: Thousands of downloads, zero ads. Long live the Really Simple Syndication.
