The app is open source (https://github.com/Ranchero-Software/NetNewsWire), feel free to back-port any features or bug-fixes you would like to spend your time on.
Your suggestion is just as senseless: among the many things wrong with such a "write the app yourself" approach, you forgot about iOS, even though it's mentioned in the original comment, where you can't freely backport anything due to distribution being locked down
> you forgot about iOS, even though it's mentioned in the original comment, where you can't freely backport anything due to distribution being locked down
Yes you can. You can create an app today that is compatible with iOS 15.
You forgot to address the point, which was about distribution, not creation
The previous paragraph is similarly irrelevant, for example, "aren't required to" - who said anything about requirements??
You don't like some of the Liquid Glass stuff... fine, make something else. The old versions still work, I don't really know what you are complaining about. This level of support and polish in a free app is amazing.
It is needed, you can't install a custom app permanently on iOS. By the way, what if you only have iOS and not a Mac? How would you compile your backport?
> The old versions still work
I've already addressed it, come back with something meaningful rather than repeat
> I don't really know what you are complaining about.
I've explained it to you several times, maybe you can get that knowledge by reading the conversation carefully?
Old versions work still, you can create your own. The app has had lengthy and good support — which you can extend if you choose.
