Research direction

Read the linked Microsub standard and review how NetNewsWire currently handles feeds and subscriptions; the issue names no files or tests. Define the server connection, fetching, syncing, and subscription behavior before implementation, then document the agreed acceptance criteria and add coverage for the resulting integration.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

parser

The emerging Microsub standard is gaining some traction, with Aperture, a publicly available Microsub service available to use for free, and several other "reader" apps supporting Microsub.

Microsub support would enable NetNewsWire to connect to Microsub servers/services, which would handle fetching/syncing of feeds and subscriptions.

I definitely don't think this is a 5.0 feature, but I wanted to put it on your radar as I think having an amazing open source macOS reader app supporting an amazing open standard for feeds and subscriptions would be lovely.
