What is NetNewsWire?
NetNewsWire spent 7.1.3 rebuilding Feedly sync, and is now polishing the result.
The 7.1.3 cycle was dominated by one thing: a Feedly syncing overhaul that stopped users getting rate-limited into temporary bans, fixed a mark-as-read backlog that could grow without bound, and repaired a long list of folder and feed corruption bugs. With that shipped on Mac, the work has dropped to single-fix betas and a 7.1.4 build on iOS carrying no release notes yet.
What is Document360?
Document360 ships collaborative editing and API v3 with OAuth 2.0 in back-to-back releases.
Document360 has shipped two major capability expansions in consecutive August releases: v12.8.2 introduced API v3 with OAuth 2.0 authentication and scoped API keys (the product's largest API overhaul to date), and v12.8.4 added real-time collaborative editing allowing multiple contributors to work on the same article simultaneously. The surrounding releases improved the AI assistant analytics layer (Eddy AI unanswered query tracking) and redesigned the navigation and publishing UX.

NetNewsWire
5.0COLLAB
NetNewsWire spent 7.1.3 rebuilding Feedly sync, and is now polishing the result.
◆ Current state
The 7.1.3 cycle was dominated by one thing: a Feedly syncing overhaul that stopped users getting rate-limited into temporary bans, fixed a mark-as-read backlog that could grow without bound, and repaired a long list of folder and feed corruption bugs. With that shipped on Mac, the work has dropped to single-fix betas and a 7.1.4 build on iOS carrying no release notes yet.
◆ Where it's heading
Mac and iOS move in lockstep a few days apart, each fix landing on both platforms in turn. Nothing in the window adds a feature; the entire cycle is correctness in the sync layer and the feeds list. For a reader whose value is that the unread count is right, that is the product work — but it also means the roadmap is invisible from the changelog alone.
◆ Prediction
7.1.4 looks like a small follow-up rather than a feature release, given the beta carries a single rendering fix and the iOS build ships without notes.
Document360
7.5COLLAB
Document360 ships collaborative editing and API v3 with OAuth 2.0 in back-to-back releases.
◆ Current state
Document360 has shipped two major capability expansions in consecutive August releases: v12.8.2 introduced API v3 with OAuth 2.0 authentication and scoped API keys (the product's largest API overhaul to date), and v12.8.4 added real-time collaborative editing allowing multiple contributors to work on the same article simultaneously. The surrounding releases improved the AI assistant analytics layer (Eddy AI unanswered query tracking) and redesigned the navigation and publishing UX.
◆ Where it's heading
Document360 is clearly targeting enterprise knowledge base teams: OAuth 2.0 on the API enables secure SSO-gated integrations, collaborative editing removes a key friction point for team-based documentation, and unanswered query analytics gives content managers data to prioritize gaps. The product is closing the gap to Confluence and Notion on collaboration and integration depth.
◆ Prediction
Expect role-based collaborative editing permissions (view-only, comment, edit) and API v3 expansion to cover content lifecycle endpoints — the OAuth infrastructure is the foundation for third-party workflow integrations.
