Post subject:  Gruml RSS Reader

I get mildly annoyed when using applications that are hosted on the web. For example, I'll use web mail if I have to, but I'd much rather use Apple Mail or Thunderbird...
Anyway, I've been using Google Reader for the past year or so with some satisfaction, but then my browser crashed and for some reason, all of my feeds are telling me I've read everything...

Anyhoo, I've found an answer, and I think it's rather good. IT's called Gruml. It basically replicates Google Reader functionality using a local app. It's in beta at the moment and it does feel quite "beta-ish", but I'm hoping for a Mail type solution where I can view my old feeds and entries offline if I want to.

I'm not sure how Google-reader-ish it is, but NetNewsWire now syncs with Google Reader to provide a web interface, rather than using its own proprietary one.

I prefer a separate news reader because you can get it to download the news items separately, without overwhelming a browser.

Sorry, yes, NetNewsWire is a seperate app, and I use it much like I believe Ben uses Gruml.

Edd, I tried NetNewsWire, I like it, it certainly feels more polished than Gruml and it has some nice features which Gruml is currently missing.

I use NewsFire. It has its faults but is pretty good.
