I think Reeder is the best thing on the planet for my use, both on osx and ios, but I'm going to give this one a try. I use RSS a lot so even a small improvement in the experience would go a long way.
funny i was just browsing for a new RSS reader.
A RSS Menu clone (or a RSS Menu "light")?
e dot studio: RSS Menu http://edotstudios.com/products/rss-menu
RSS Menu in Mac App Store https://itunes.apple.com/en/app/rss-menu/id423069534?mt=12

Well, not quite.
NewsBee isn't trying to compete with RSS Menu. It's actually doing something different.
Most news readers create a distraction by telling you much much news you have left to read. I like to think of this as the +1000 Syndrome of Google Reader.
I created NewsBee because I love keeping up with Hacker News. I just didn't want to pop into a browser each time I got the urge to check in. I also didn't want the overhead or distraction of a typical RSS reader showing me all the things I haven't read.
This is why NewsBee shows one feed and one feed only at a time. It puts the focus on the site and leaves the distraction behind.
This isn't to say there's anything wrong with a full-fledged RSS reader. Quite the opposite. There's a place for those too. NewsBee is just something different.
