The real power, though, is found in Smart Folders. Normal folders behave just like Mail's folders - you can add items by dragging, or you can create Filters (like Rules in Mail) that automatically route feeds to a folder. You can add both normal and smart folders. Just like Mail, you've got an InBox, where any unsorted feeds will show, and you can add an unlimited number of additional folders (and sub-folders) to use for organizing your feeds. Folders are PulpFiction's method of organizing news feeds. The drawer section of the interface can either show a list of each feed you're subscribed to, or as seen in the screenshot, a Mail-like folder view.

You can view the full article in many ways with PulpFiction: double-click the headline to open a new minimal browser window within PulpFiction click the Read Full Article link in the preview area to open the actual web page within that same preview area (that's the view shown in the screenshot), or control-click on the headline and choose to view the article in your external browser. The top half of the window shows the feed headlines, while the bottom shows the selected headline's contents (and is used to display the actual web page as well, if you wish). Note that because there are so many news readers out there, I wasn't able to list them all, so you may have to use the "Other" category.Īs seen at left ( larger version), the main interface is a two-paned window with a drawer. but also vote in the poll for your favorite news/RSS reader.

Hence the new poll that went up slightly before this hint! Feel free to add your picks as a comment to this story, of course. And I know that this pick will probably be controversial - news readers are like Mail clients and calendar applications - personal preferences come heavily into play. If you don't like Mail, you probably won't like PulpFiction. If you like Mail (which I do), that's a good thing. PulpFiction basically treats news feeds like mail messages, and has an interface design that is very reminiscent of Apple's Mail app. But PulpFiction is different, and unlike any of the other readers I've tried. So in the end, I just went back to browsing sites directly to check for updates. I found the interface on most programs confusing or too limited, and I couldn't find one that had an easy way to manage the hundreds of stories that accumulate in even a lightly-populated news reader. However, I had yet to find one I really liked well enough to use regularly (though I have called a few out with Pick of the Week selections in the past). I have tried a large number of news readers, and there are some very good programs out there. While digging around on Freshly Squeezed Software's site for info on last week's PotW, I stumbled across this RSS (newsfeed) reader called PulpFiction.
