Nothing to Download Yet I don't actually have an app bearing the name NetNewsWire ready to download yet. And, along the way, I'd love to have your help.

From the announcement: Since acquiring NetNewsWire from Newsgator in 2011, we've invested a great deal in the continued development and support of the product suite including the addition of a free sync service. Black Pixel, which acquired popular Mac RSS reader app NetNewsWire in 2011, announced this week that the brand name is returning to the founder Brent Simmons.
