Vienna is an RSS/Atom/JSON Feed reader for macOS.

Vienna can connect directly to the websites you want to track. Additionally or alternatively, you can also sync with a server supporting the Open Reader API (an adaptation of the now deceased Google Reader API).

Writing code

Please check CONTRIBUTING.md.

Localizing

We need help keeping Vienna translations up to date into different languages. You can contribute localizations at Crowdin. Registration is required, but the account is free. Contact us if you want to contribute for a language that is not yet listed. Do not localize the project's files directly.

Writing custom styles

Vienna supports a variety of different display styles for articles. These styles are provided on the Styles sub-menu off the View menu. A style is a combination of an HTML template that is used to control the placement of various parts of the article and a CSS stylesheet that controls the appearance of the article.

You can write styles by referring to this document. Have a look at existing styles in the Styles folder.

Writing plugins

Vienna supports plugins which are installed in menus and/or on the toolbar and can run defined actions. These plugins are XML-based and can be created by editing a simple .plist-file without any knowledge of Cocoa programming, in as little as 15 minutes.

You can write plugins by referring to this document. Have a look at existing plugins in the Plugins folder.
