Further, tuning the update frequently will decrease the traffic even more.
### Why create something that already existed?
First, open source is awesome!
Secondly, RSS Menu made some design decisions I didn't like.
For example, the new integrated browser window.
One thing I liked most, was the fact that feeds were opened in the default browser.
Not like 99% of the other feed readers on the market that show a separate HTML viewer window.
No rendering issues, no broken links, no content that is different from the actual news article.
I know, the whole purpose of RSS is to deliver content without the need of opening a webpage.
But for me RSS is more about being informed whenever a blog or news feed has some updated content.
E.g, subscribing to video channels without having to have an account.
### Why is this project not written in Swift?!
Actually, I started this project with Swift.
Even without adding much functionality, the app was exceeding the 10 Mb file size.
The working alpha version, written in Objective-C, had only 500 Kb.
The reason being that Swift frameworks are always packed into the final application.
Sadly, this was before Swift 5 and ABI stability.
Had I only started the project a year later…
But on the other hand, now it is macOS 10.12 compatible.
### 3rd Party Libraries
This project uses a modified version of Brent Simmons [RSXML](https://github.com/brentsimmons/RSXML) for feed parsing.
RSXML is licensed under a MIT license (same as this project).

### Easy way
Go to [releases](https://github.com/relikd/baRSS/releases) and downloaded the latest version.
Searching for the App Store release? Read this [notice](#app-store-notice).
### Build from source
You'll need Xcode and [Carthage](https://github.com/Carthage/Carthage#installing-carthage).
The latter is optional, you can build the [RSXML2](https://github.com/relikd/RSXML2) library from source instead.

Carthage just makes it more convenient.
Download and unzip this project, navigate to the root folder and run `carthage bootstrap --platform macOS`.
Next, you need to clone [QLOPML](https://github.com/relikd/QLOPML) in the same folder where this project is.
Alternatively, you can simply delete the `QLOPML` project reference without much harm.

### App Store Notice
In the last couple of months I prepared baRSS to be released on the App Store.
With sandboxing enabled and hardened runtime environment, etc.
But, for the time being, I decided to not publish this app for political reasons.
I was not happy about some decisions made in the last weeks.
Decisions that were evaluated on monetary aspects and not on ethical considerations.
I won't support this conduct with my own money.
If you find this app somewhere on the App Store, you can be sure that it is a counterfeit.
As long as you can read this very notice, I am not responsible for the publication.
Further, I can't guarantee the App Store version wasn't modified by a malicious actor to spy on you.
