Push RSS App Found!

Here's the issue with Push that most people don't understand.

In order for a developer to offer push they need to have their own server essentially. They have to monitor what needs to be pushed. So let's walk through a typical RSS scenario.

The issue here is no app developer (except NetNewsWire) actually has a server caching and monitoring feeds. Google could do it, but push notifications would never work with anything other than their own application, it wouldn't be workable with Byline.


NOT TRUE. Stumbled across this app the other day. It works great and even has different theme colors and sounds for the push notifications. They must have a server because i'm getting Push Notifications and badge updates. It must run on a time interval because they aren't instant but always seem to come throughout the day. I'm happy :)
