What is NetNewsWire?

NetNewsWire 7.3 ships its first newsprint-style themes on both Mac and iPhone.

NetNewsWire 7.3 is shipping on iOS while the Mac version reaches beta 8. The cycle has handed layout to users: feed icon visibility, grayscale icons, fading read articles, hidden smart feeds and dedicated Mac settings panes. The latest builds add Gray and Plum themes plus a grayscaleIcon key that lets any theme render feed icons and avatars in gray, alongside timeline crash and sidebar fixes.

What is Teable?

Teable adds Get Started guides to templates and shareable artifacts from the CLI.

Teable ships near-daily. Early November brought impact previews before schema changes, owner-run Routines, self-hosted app domains and a read-only MCP query tool, then filter-based bulk updates and structured queries in Pi sessions. The November 13 release adds interactive Get Started guides for templates, formula-based metrics in structured queries, artifact sharing links from the CLI and API, app previews as a selected user, multi-field record search, and halves the default concurrent Routine runs per space to 5.

NetNewsWire vs Teable: editorial side-by-side

N5.0

NetNewsWire 7.3 ships its first newsprint-style themes on both Mac and iPhone.

◆ Current state

NetNewsWire 7.3 is shipping on iOS while the Mac version reaches beta 8. The cycle has handed layout to users: feed icon visibility, grayscale icons, fading read articles, hidden smart feeds and dedicated Mac settings panes. The latest builds add Gray and Plum themes plus a grayscaleIcon key that lets any theme render feed icons and avatars in gray, alongside timeline crash and sidebar fixes.

◆ Where it's heading

7.3 started with media support and moved into appearance control; theme authors now get the same switches users have. Mac betas and iOS builds land on the same days with the same features, so the two apps are being kept in step rather than the Mac leading.

◆ Prediction

Expect a final Mac 7.3 release soon, as recent betas are mostly theme additions and crash fixes; the entries give no sign of what 7.4 targets.

8.8

Teable adds Get Started guides to templates and shareable artifacts from the CLI.

◆ Current state

Teable ships near-daily. Early November brought impact previews before schema changes, owner-run Routines, self-hosted app domains and a read-only MCP query tool, then filter-based bulk updates and structured queries in Pi sessions. The November 13 release adds interactive Get Started guides for templates, formula-based metrics in structured queries, artifact sharing links from the CLI and API, app previews as a selected user, multi-field record search, and halves the default concurrent Routine runs per space to 5.

◆ Where it's heading

Teable is making its agent-facing pieces (queries, CLI, Routines) consistent with the rest of the product: query expressions now reuse formula syntax, and CLI commands are regrouped with old ones deprecated. Templates with guided setup point toward packaging finished apps for others to install.

◆ Prediction

Expect the deprecated standalone CLI commands to be removed in the next release, as announced, and more template and app-sharing features built on the new guides.
