NetNewsWire Lite 4.0 released, on the Mac App Store:

NetNewsWire Lite 4.0 is a new free version of NetNewsWire for Macintosh, available now on the Mac App Store.

I’ve been a loyal user of NetNewsWire for a very long time. Only recently have RSS readers like Reeder and NewsRack lured me away from NNW. My heart lifted when I saw that NetNewsWire Lite 4.0 was available in the App Store, but then sank again when I saw that it doesn’t sync with Google Reader. I use 3 different Macs and syncing is critical.

Then I remembered Dropbox.

I moved ~/Library/Application Support/NetNewsWire Lite/ into ~/Dropbox and symlinked it instead. Something like…

ln -s ~/Dropbox/Sync/NetNewsWire\ Lite/  \    
~/Library/Application\ Support/NetNewsWire\ Lite

There, synced. And it’s nice.
