🔗 NetNewsWire Now Getting Feed Images from RSS

netnewswire.blog/2026/04/28/netnewswire-now-getting-feed-images.html

Makes sense. In fact, FeedCity only uses the images and/or icons specified directly with the feed.

Eventually I should probably fetch the icons from the website as a fallback. But c’mon: just include the icons directly in the feeds, please.

In NetNewsWire 7.0.5 we made a change to get the feed image from RSS via the image element.

In case anyone else likes to follow updates from the speakers at Beyond Tellerrand conference 2026, I made my list on FeedCity public.

Unfortunately, only a few speakers have a feed. But better few than no one.
