After you’ve created your perfect set of feeds you may want to do a backup so you don’t lose it. But how?
It’s easier than you might think. Here’s how.
That’s it. You now have a backup copy of your subscriptions.
If you have iCloud storage, Dropbox, or one of many other cloud storage providers with a Files extension you can backup to any of them. That way you have a copy in the mystical cloud so you don’t lose it if something catastrophic happens to your device.
Happy Stream’ing.
This release includes two upgrades to existing features and one bug fix.
🔥 The first, and biggest, upgrade is the reading experience in the Article view. Various text and paragraph formatting styles are now supported.
🔥 The second upgrade is displaying linked items inside the application instead of opening Safari. Small, but it does make for a better experience.
🐛 The one bug fix was something I wanted to fix for quite a while. Certain feeds – like Medium – did not include their content in a way Stream knew how to parse them. That bug has finally been sent packing.
Bug fixes. This release is about bug fixes.
If you have feature requests or run into a bug please visit the Stream issue tracker and leave us a note. The more details the better.
So, we’ve had a little problem with version 1.0.1. 😭
When you go to leave a tip you’re not going to see any tip amounts to choose from. 🤦🏽♂️
Version 1.0.2 has been submitted to Apple for review. With any luck it’ll pass review and the tip amounts will magically appear. 🍀🤞🏼
Nothing major to share. Version 1.0.1 completes the Tip Jar we intended to ship in 1.0.
Why a Tip Jar?
Well, a one time price isn’t sustainable in the long run, even for a one person shop. And subscription fatigue is a thing.
If you’re interested in leaving a tip you can to to settings, scroll to the bottom, tap on Tip Jar, and pick an amount you’d like to tip.
Do I have to leave you a tip to open up features? Nope. Stream will work the same for everyone.
Enjoy!
Creativerly: “So, if you are looking for a minimal, distraction-free interface and different experience compared to other RSS readers, you should definitely give Stream a try. Also, every home screen looks better with such a gorgeous icon.”
First things first. You can find Stream in the App Store.
Stream is a feed reader. Some folks call it a news reader, others an RSS reader.
Stream is a different take on feed readers. It displays your feeds in a timeline, similar to Twitter.
Stream doesn’t maintain a read/unread count because life is too short to stress over that kind of stuff.
Probably not. Stream is great for casual reading. It’s a complement to your current reader.
Nope. Stream treats RSS – and other feed types – as intended. When RSS was created the idea was to provide a decentralized way to get news.
Dave Winer, the man behind RSS, calls this idea a River of News. Stream is a mobile River of News. You have full control over what you subscribe to. It’s all decentralized so you don’t rely on a service to collect your feeds.
Did we mention it’s FREE? No up front payment, no subscription, just FREE.
That’s ok! Stream was intentionally built to put simplicity at its core. Simplicity may make it too simple for your needs.
