Hi! Love the app. Thanks a ton for all the hard work.
One feature that I would love to see is a closer adherence to MacOS convention when it comes to double-clicking on list items; namely, opening that item in a new window.
You can see this behaviour throughout the system, where most apps support double clicking on an item to open it in a new window. There's also always a right-click option to Open [item] in New Window.
I've attached examples from Notes and Reminders, but this extends to stuff like Mail, Messages, and so on.
Currently, when you double-click an article in NetNewReader, it just opens that article in the browser. While this is obviously a useful feature for an RSS app and should remain as an option (maybe relegated to the right-click menu?), I feel like the app would be improved if it stuck more closely to the convention established by other MacOS apps.
There's also some other subtle conventions that should not be forgotten about: when you use this method in Apple apps, the spawned window will have a separate, customizable toolbar that differs from the main window's, and remembers the Hide Toolbar toggle separately. (So main window can have the toolbar visible, and for more focused reading you open a separate window.)
This is most obvious in the Notes and Mail apps, in my opinion, where the main window can have more general toolbar commands and the spawned window will have a toolbar more specific to actioning the selected item: sending the mail message, formatting the note, etc.
Regarding iOS, I don't have an iPad, so I'm unsure if this applies there as well. Does the Notes app on iPad support the right-click Open in New Window action, for example? If so, this should as well.
