Hi everyone,
For the past few months, I've been working on a personal project to create the kind of RSS reader I've always wanted: something clean, simple, and completely local. I'm excited (and a little nervous!) to share the first version of Moose Reader with you all.
The idea was to build an elegant, three-pane desktop reader that focuses purely on the reading experience without requiring any online accounts. All your feeds, articles, and settings are stored locally on your machine.
Some of the features I've built so far:
It's been a long journey, especially as someone learning along the way, and I'm sure there are still rough edges to smooth out. I would be incredibly grateful for any feedback you might have.
You can check it out on the Microsoft Store here:https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9N2J8SGB10TJ
Also, a quick note for the open-source community: a Linux (AppImage) version is coming very soon, and it will be completely free.
Thanks so much for taking a look!

Some of the features I've built so far:
- 100% Local: No sign-up required. All your data stays with you.
- Feed Management: Organize your feeds into collapsible folders.
- Fetch Full Article: An integrated "Fetch Full Article" mode to clean up webpages, and the ability to save articles (with images) for offline reading.
- UI Personalization: Dark/Light mode, custom accent colors, and a quirky "Moose Speak" feature that shows random quotes in the sidebar.
It's been a long journey, especially as someone learning along the way, and I'm sure there are still rough edges to smooth out. I would be incredibly grateful for any feedback you might have.
