 ### 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, [RSXML2] \(required), and [QLOPML] \(optional).

 ```sh
 git clone https://github.com/relikd/baRSS

-Alternatively, you can simply delete the `QLOPML` project reference without much harm.
-`QLOPML` is a Quick Look plugin for `.opml` files.
-It will display the file contents whenever you hit spacebar.

 Hold down the option key in the feed edit modal and click the red regex button.
 Though, admittedly, this is for experts only.
 I still have to find a nice user-friendly way to achieve this.
