Newsstand: a Google News RSS reader for Mac OS 9 #VintageComputing
Alex Robb has developed a fantastic retro program for older Macs: Newsstand
I created Newsstand as a fun way to access the news on my vintage Macs. I have a two Apple PowerBook G3 computers, but older machines don’t work very well on the modern web. Their browsers can’t load https websites, and vintage hardware can’t keep up with the dynamic pages that make up the web today. I created Newsstand in Mac OS 9 using tools only available at the time.
With Newsstand, I can use a Classic Mac application on my PowerBooks and stay up-to-date with what’s happening. Newsstand has been a personal project over the last few weeks and a really fun challenge. I’m ready to release it to all of you, and I’m eager to hear your feedback.
