A lot have happened to the greatest Feed reader of all time, but I have been a bit shy about it. I have basically not told anyone, and that is not great marketing.

This latest release is just a patch-version fixing a bug where your Settings could not be saved. A tremendous blunder on mu part, but to my defence it only happens in certain conditions, which avoided my testing. Thankfully a dedicated power user alerted me of the error and I could fix the bug the same evening.

Before this update Feeds has gotten plenty of new shining features:

1. iPad support is back! And now with windows in iPadOS 26, things are really great.
2. Smarter, faster and more efficient download manager, that keeps all your feeds streaming into the app at lightning speeds. Did you ever wonder how Feeds can download so many articles from all your sources so fast? And not do any of them twice? It is not a miracle but a sweet and lock-free coding comfort called structural concurrency. I will not bore you with any more details!
3. A completely new parser, that is more capable and stable, allowing for brand new ideas of development in the future, and since it is much easier to work with (simpler algorithms), errors and bugs are easier and faster to squash.
4. Improvements how SwiftUI is used, eliminating unnecessary redraws making scrolling smoother and everything overall faster and more delightful. There are still more optimisations coming in the future, all is not done yet!
5. A whole new database engine which is a delight to work with. I will post endlessly about this one.
6. Tons of minor fixes and improvements that is too much to talk about.

The app is over 10 years old so it had a lot of legacy that needed taking care of, and now that is done. It took me a while, but the new foundation will stand for another 10 years. The mission now is to spread the word to get users up to a decent level. Would you like to see more new features? Tell your friends about Feeds!

Are you still not blessed with the wonders of having an app that turns the web into feeds? Take a look at this article from Nature about how neurons form in the brain. If you are reading this on an iOS device, Feeds can download automatically for you. No need to go to the appstore, just start reading! If you like it, you can just keep it and let Feeds fetch new articles as they come off the prints!
