A Feature from 10 Years Ago Is Back – with a Twist – in My Favorite RSS Client
- Unread version 4.3 now lets users create custom article actions powered by Shortcuts app.
- This functionality lets users build custom actions to send articles from Unread to any app.
- Today marks the return of the Mr. Reader feature allowing owners create their own enhancements for RSS readers.
- Custom actions can be added in the app’s preferences and will display in Unread’s context menu.
- On devices with a keyboard, custom keyboard shortcuts can be defined to immediately trigger specific article actions.
- Unread sends a custom JSON object to the Shortcuts app containing the selected article's URL, summary and title.
- Shortcuts then parses this JSON input as a dictionary and users can work with these variables to connect them to whatever service or app they want.
- An Unread subscription is required for custom article actions, costing $4.99/month or $29.99/year.
- Additional features could be added to the variable list that Unread passes to Shortcuts, like publication date, author names and selected text.
- This feature allows power users to create their own enhancements, making loyal users happier and more productive.
