inessential: Why NetNewsWire Is Not a Web App

If it were a web app instead, I could drop the developer membership, but I’d have to pay way more money for web and database hosting. Probably need a CDN too, and who knows what else. (I don’t have recent web app experience, so I don’t even know what my requirements would be, but I’m sure they’d cost substantially more than a couple hundred bucks a year.) I could charge for NetNewsWire, but that would go against my political goal of making sure there’s a good and free RSS reader available to everyone.
