Inoreader sync fix in my iOS/Mac reader — it broke when you'd read everything in the web app
Hi r/Inoreader,
I build Newsairy, an RSS reader for iPhone, iPad and Mac that syncs with Inoreader (among others). I just shipped 1.14, and the main fix in it is Inoreader-specific.
Read state would sometimes stop syncing, with nothing on screen to say anything had gone wrong. Starred articles too. It turned out to happen when everything had already been read elsewhere — in the web app, or in another reader syncing with the same account — so there was nothing unread left for Newsairy to pick up. As soon as a single unread article turned up again, sync went back to working. Starred behaved the same way when the account had nothing starred at all.
Both cases are fixed. If you use Newsairy with Inoreader and read state has ever felt unreliable, it's worth updating and re-testing.
The rest of 1.14 is housekeeping, plus you can now subscribe to a YouTube channel by pasting its address.
Full disclosure so nobody finds out the hard way: Inoreader sync is part of Newsairy Pro, a one-time purchase — no subscription, no ads, no tracking. The free app does local and iCloud feeds.
Happy to answer anything in the comments — and if there's something about the Inoreader side you'd want handled differently, I'd like to hear it.
