Thanks to all the Beta Testers and to MacUpdate for the early help with Stickler! If you didn't get the special offer for beta testers e-mail, please drop us a note and we'll let you know the details. The additional skins are all available for free download from the website, as well as instructions for how to create your own. Thanks again to everyone who is supporting innovative software development on MacOS X!

Version 1.0

There are other very cool RSS readers, but most of them are different and more traditional lists of articles. Stickler! has various skins, transparency, and a single scrolling ticker. I like to use the completely transparent skin ("Swiss") so that I can have continually updated headlines floating above whatever else I'm doing all day long without taking up any additional screen space on my PowerBook.

Check out NewsFire, much better interface, and it's free.

Last time I checked, NewsFire did not offer a scrolling ticker. So not really comparable.

It's highly unlikely that NewsFire will remain free once beta testing is complete.

I can't help but notice Stickler also has a 'Demo' label...

"Demo" was chosen by the MacUpdate folks when they picked up the story from MacInTouch. It's more correctly called "Public beta" right now, but yes, it's intended to be a commercial/pay app when it goes GM...we expect that it will be less expensive than other RSS readers, but we have to pay the bills somehow...we won't break your bank if you won't break ours! ;-) Please don't hesitate to contact us directly with any constructive feedback or criticism, and THANK YOU to everyone who is trying Stickler! and our other products (Anthracite and Arugula). We look forward to providing the best possible web mining and information access tools to MacOS X users! Joe
