   Are there any RSS Readers that are trying to integrate ActivityPub too? Pondering the glut of email newsletters in our inboxes these days, and wondering if we are due for an RSS Reader renaissance, except with a fediverse twist this time…

     @ricmac I thought @NetNewsWire had this on their roadmap…

     @ricmac @NetNewsWire Hi Brent @brentsimmons - did I remember this right? Is ActivityPub support on the roadmap for #NetNewsWire?

     @ricmac Flipboard does a reasonable job at RSS today but we are strengthening our RSS support significantly as we are integrate ActivityPub.

     I think RSS and ActivityPub are like peanut butter and chocolate and it will be awesome when they are combined.

     @tchambers @ricmac @NetNewsWire The answer required a blog post. :) https://inessential.com/2023/12/17/on_mastodon_support_in_netnewswire

     @brentsimmons @ricmac @NetNewsWire Lots of great thinking here - and do think your direction here makes sense….

     @brentsimmons @ricmac @NetNewsWire Maybe the experience should be as you said a seamless reading experience …but if you enter a mastodon account it grabs the RSS automatically for reading, but then if you wish to interact there is UI that links to Mastodon web UX to interact….

     @ricmac Newsblur allows you ti forward your newsletters to it, and they are then displayed as a feed. This is very useful, but not AP.

     @brentsimmons @tchambers @ricmac @NetNewsWire what about to support the ActivityStreams format besides of RSS, kind of in the same way as you already did with JSONFeed?

     ```
     curl "https://mastodon.social/@pfefferle" \
     -H 'Accept: application/activity+json'
     ```

     That would make NetNewsWire a generic ActivityPub compatible reader without changing the experience?!?

     @pfefferle @brentsimmons @tchambers @ricmac @NetNewsWire

     Blows my mind (in a bad way) that no feedreader has implemented that yet. Such a low hanging fruit, no? What are we missing here?

     @ricmac The Vivaldi browser integrates an RSS reader, a mail client, and a Mastodon instance.
