Reams is RSS, 2020 style. Reams is a brand new iOS app, featuring eye popping, AI-driven, algorithmic art direction and meticulous typography. Reams is all about the gloriously immersive pleasures of text and image. The public beta starts today.

I've used RSS for years, but it often felt like a chore to get through instead of a pleasure. Reams makes RSS loveable: it uses a complex layout engine and a little bit of AI to make every story beautiful. It turns your feed into your own personal magazine.

I've used RSS for years, but it's always bugged me that reading RSS feeds feels like a chore, a pile of paperwork I have to get through, instead of a pleasure. I love reading, and I love the experience of losing myself in text and images, so I wanted to make something that made that possible. Four years later, I'm proud to present Reams: a new approach to reading on the web, conceived from the ground up to help you find and read more about things you love. With AI-driven layouts, delightful interactions and powerful features, Reams focuses on the immersive pleasures of text and image. I call it as "deeply superficial", but what does that even mean? Well let's start with superficial: the surface of Reams doesn't look like anything that's come before it. Reams puts the content of the sites you love front and centre, rendering stories through a layout engine that bring RSS's traditionally plain-text lists to eye-popping life. Where keeping up to date with your favourite corners of the web used to feel a bit like reading tax returns, swiping through your feeds on Reams is like flipping through your personalised, beautifully art-directed glossy magazine. It's a pleasure, not a chore. But what about the "deeply"? Well, Reams understands the power of immersion: by displaying the content in all its full-bore glory, it enables you to really go deep, to lose yourself in what you're reading. The source code is at https://github.com/admbtlr/reams. Oh, and I made a website and movie for it at https://reams.app/. Hope you like it!

I wish it was available for windows so that I could have tried it out

@himanshu_chhabra maybe one day? React Native can work on Windows, so it wouldn't be impossible. I'll let you know if/when it happens!

I used the app few days ago before seeing it here on Product Hunt, and I must admit that the design is rather nice. My only fear is that RSS is in a disappearing mode of media consumption, but I would strongly suggest it to anyone who still use it.
