# NetNewsWire

It’s a free and open source feed reader for macOS.

It’s not in beta just yet. Getting close! While NetNewsWire 5.0 is feature-complete as of May 25, 2019, it has known bugs — and, surely, plenty of unknown bugs.

It supports [RSS](http://cyber.harvard.edu/rss/rss.html), [Atom](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4287), [JSON Feed](https://jsonfeed.org/), and [RSS-in-JSON](https://github.com/scripting/Scripting-News/blob/master/rss-in-json/README.md) formats.

Also see the [Technotes](Technotes/) and the [Roadmap](Technotes/Roadmap.md).

Note: NetNewsWire’s Help menu has a bunch of these links, so you don’t have to remember to come back to this page.

#### Building

```bash
git clone https://github.com/brentsimmons/NetNewsWire.git
cd NetNewsWire
git submodule update --init
```

You can locally override the Xcode settings for code signing
by creating a `DeveloperSettings.xcconfig` file locally at the appropriate path.
This allows for a pristine project with code signing set up with the appropriate
developer ID and certificates, and for dev to be able to have local settings
without needing to check in anything into source control.

As an example, make a `../../SharedXcodeSettings/DeveloperSettings.xcconfig` file and
give it the contents

```
CODE_SIGN_IDENTITY = Mac Developer
DEVELOPMENT_TEAM = <Your Team ID>
CODE_SIGN_STYLE = Automatic
PROVISIONING_PROFILE_SPECIFIER =
```

Now you should be able to build without code signing errors and without modifying
the NetNewsWire Xcode project.

Example:

If your NetNewsWire Xcode project file is at:
`/Users/Shared/git/NetNewsWire/NetNewsWire.xcodeproj`

Create your `DeveloperSettings.xcconfig` file at
`/Users/Shared/git/SharedXcodeSettings/DeveloperSettings.xcconfig`
