Original Summary

Hi r/SideProject . Ferry is my first app, built solo over the last year. It has been on the App Store for a week. What it is: an RSS reader for iPhone, iPad and Mac. Most readers sort by newest. Ferry also counts how many outlets across the web are covering each story and ranks by that, so a story ten of your sources ran sits above whatever just came in. Under each headline it shows how many feeds carried it, and you can tap to read every version side by side. How it's built: a SwiftUI app, plus a small Go backend that I run on a server at home. The app has no accounts and no identifiers; the server never learns which feeds you follow or what you read. On iPhones with Apple Intelligence, the summaries of where outlets agree and disagree are generated on the device. What I've learned so far: the App Store page converts well (about 30% of people who open it install), but almost nobody finds it, because a new app with no ratings ranks for nothing but its own name. So this post is partly me trying to find out what works. The free version is fully usable. Plus is a monthly or yearly subscription (with a one-time Lifetime option) and adds the Trending sort for your own feeds, the full coverage view and all Discover topics. I have 50 codes for a free year of Plus. DM me and I'll send you one, first come first served. It's a normal App Store subscription, so it renews after the year unless you cancel; you can turn off auto-renew right after redeeming and still keep the full year. I'd love feedback on the app, the page, or how I'm going about launching it. iPhone and iPad: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6799505775?platform=iphone Mac: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6799505775?platform=mac Site: https://ferryrss.com   submitted by   /u/apoorvqwerty [link]   [comments]
