   ReadKit 2.3

   Josh Centers

   Webin has updated the RSS client and read-later app [1]ReadKit to
   version 2.3 with a number of requested features and bug fixes. In my
   original review (see '[2]ReadKit for Mac Is Almost the Perfect Reading
   App,' 8 July 2013), I complained about how two of the most popular
   read-later services, Instapaper and Pocket, were absent from ReadKit's
   share menu. Instead, you had to drag and drop articles into those
   services, which in the case of Instapaper, required a premium
   subscription. Developer Balazs Varkonyi has responded, adding
   [3]Instapaper, [4]Pocket, [5]Readability, [6]Pinboard, and [7]Delicious
   to the share menu. All five services have their own keyboard shortcuts
   for fast sharing. And ReadKit now no longer requires a premium
   Instapaper account for sharing.

   Another requested feature implemented in ReadKit 2.3 is the capability
   to group articles by date or source. You can set a default for sorting,
   and you can set individual preferences in each smart folder.

   ReadKit 2.3 makes major improvements in handling network connectivity.
   In the previous version, I had constant notifications that ReadKit
   couldn't connect to one service or another, even if the problem was
   only momentary. Now, ReadKit is much more tolerant of outages, and even
   allows you to archive, star, or delete articles while offline.

   The update also brings a number of fixes for bugs related to searching
   in smart folders, handling of Fever feeds that belong to multiple
   folders, and fetching starred items from Feed Wrangler and NewBlur.
