RssBucket
RssBucket is just a simple RSS reader. I wrote it when I was learning about Objective-C and Cocoa, and I thought other people might find the source code (under MIT license) useful. It has a couple neat elements like link arrows, source list badges, and formatted dates (Today, Yesterday, Monday). Keep in mind that the application is 10.5 only, mostly to use NSToolbar and a couple other conveniences.
The application has a standard source list, with feeds, favicons, and counts. To the right is a list of the selected feed’s entries, with a more human-readable date and a link arrow to open the entry in the default web browser. Below the list is a web view that opens the URL for the selected entry. When you shut the application down, it saves off the feed list in your Preferences using NSUserDefaults. And updating occurs on a different thread from the UI.
RssBucket is very much a sample application. It works, but if you want a fully-functional Mac RSS reader, you should check out the excellent and free NetNewsWire.
