This looks *very* similar to Reeder. Can you point out some of the differences?

@amirmasoudabdol beside is a very early release we plan do move away from traditional RSS adding backend services that is too early to announce

This used to be a Google Reader client like 5 years ago and now looks to support native RSS feeds. It's free b/c it's in beta right now (per URL).

@hrbrt yes correct but we plan to add also integrations with outer sources.

@kodakoder Are you considering syncing to services like Feedly, Feedbin, Feed Wrangler, etc?

@hrbrt yes, sure they are planned.

@praval is still very early beta and we need to implement some custom notifications services that will be premium

@kodakoder Thanks for sharing the details! The app crashes once every 3 minutes. Just can't use it. I'd love to. :/

i like it. it's everything i want in a rss reader minus some share settings. in particular, i'd like to be able to tweetdeck, reddit, and slack. it's a really great tool, and free! fyi tho, if cappuccino were looking to monetize, it's the sharability of the content in the reader that i'd pay for as a PRO-level upgrade or whatever. either way, five stars and two thumbs up for cappuccino.

Pros:

clean ux, lightweight, simple, readable...and totally free!!!

Cons:

share settings are bare bones, could be more robust

I wish windows apps were this elegant looking. 🙁

As a long-time user of Reeder, I'm pretty disappointed at just how similar Cappuccino's UI/UX looks. After using it briefly, it's easy to see the fit and finish of Reeder has not been approached by Cappucino; but, still, the intention is quite clear. It's hard for me to articulate why this is so bothersome, but it feels *really*... not right. For those seeking a best-in-class newsreader app (and for those who have commented on the "clean" abd "elegant" UI), Reeder is unbelievably good on Mac and iOS. I wish the developers well, but hope they can find a more unique vision for Cappuccino.
