As a spiritual successor to the now defunct [FeedReader][1], it integrates well with many existing web-based RSS readers (like Inoreader and Feedly), and also has support for local feeds. + +Not to forget, NewsFlash is one of the [best feed reader apps for Linux][2] desktop. + +With NewsFlash 3.0 upgrade, there are many important improvements to the app. + +## 🆕 NewsFlash 3.0: What's New? + +![][3] + +NewsFlash features **a tweaked interface layout** with the use of libadwaita 1.4's 'split views' and 'toolbar views'. + +This has resulted in **a borderless header bar** , with **3 columns slightly differing in appearance**. The re-sizing behavior has also improved for the sidebar and article list. + +Similarly, the **article list has been improved** with the use of GTK 4.12's 'listview' sections, and the articles are now grouped by day/date. + +However, those are not the only highlights of this release, here are some notable ones: + + * **Better Performance** + * **Improved Thumbnails** + * **Drag and Drop Functionality** + * **Image Viewer** + + + +### Better Performance + +NewsFlash 3.0 is **a lot faster now,** thanks to the implementation of the [Tokio runtime][4], this has allowed for asynchronous processing on a single Tokio runtime instance. + +In simple words, the app is snappier, as it handles requests in a more optimized manner. So, actions like syncing, marking articles as read, and scraping full article content are now much faster. + +### Improved Thumbnails + +![][5] + +A **heuristic process** has been added to NewsFlash that now handles the generation of thumbnails from the articles on the feed. + +It is supposed to gather a “relevant” image from the article's HTML code, and use that as a thumbnail. + +However, as you can see with our [Element X][6] news article, it grabbed an image from within the article, instead of getting the featured image. This should get better with future updates. + +**Suggested Read** 📖 + +![][7] + +### Drag and Drop Functionality + +You can now drag/drop elements on the sidebar to move a feed from one category to another and reorder the list. + +### Image Viewer + +![][8] + +With NewsFlash 3.0 you can now click on images in an article to view them in a **dedicated image viewing window**. The same is used to display image attachments of articles. + +### 🛠️ Other Changes and Improvements + +As for the other changes, here are some technical refinements: + + * Added support for [Commafeed][9]. + * Subscribing to feed on mobile has been improved. + * NewsFlash now remembers the window state on app restart. + * The “edit” dialog has been improved with better support for special characters and symbols. + + + +You can go through the [official blog post][10] by the developer to explore some technical details for this release. + +## 📥 Download NewsFlash 3.0 + +You can head over to the [Flathub store][11] to grab the latest release of NewsFlash. + +It is also available as a [Snap][12]. But, at the time of writing, it was not updated to the latest version. + +[NewsFlash (Flathub)][11] + +_💬 Have you tried NewsFlash before? What feed reader do you prefer to use?
