Hey all, As an avid RSS user, I just found out that Newsrack is going bye bye. I mostly follow my RSS feeds on my iPhone now with Lire, but would like to have the option to go through them on the mac as well. I don't believe any app on the mac will sync up with Lire, so I guess just f

The Feed Wrangler iOS app is free. I've downloaded it and used it a bit, but not a whole lot yet. You can't, so far as I'm aware, swipe down on an article to delete it. But there is a button two swipes away from the article title which you can double tap to mark the article as read. -- You rec
