Submitted by AppleVis - Member of the AppleVis Editorial Team.
We are pleased to announce that voting for the 2021 inductees into the
AppleVis iOS App Hall of Fame is now open.
Now in its tenth year, our Hall of Fame is one of the ways in which the
AppleVis community seeks to recognize developers of accessible iOS
applications. Apps in the Hall of Fame can be liberating; empowering;
life-changing; provide access to information that sighted users take for
granted; or, in some cases, they can just be good fun.
To be eligible for induction into the AppleVis iOS App Hall of Fame, an app
must:
* Be fully accessible to blind and low vision users;
* Be from a developer with a demonstrated and long-term commitment to
full accessibility of their app(s);
* Demonstrate excellence in design, functionality and operation;
* Have been available in the App Store for a significant period of
time; and
* Be under active development.
In short, ourHall of Fame represents the best of the best in accessible iOS
applications, as decided by the AppleVis community. Existing inductees

lire: RSS Reader
RSS feeds are a great way to follow updates on your favorite website.
However, some sites set up their feeds to only show a portion of each entry,
you know, to get you to click through to their actual website. We find that
really annoying, and we're sure you do too.
Which is why, unlike other RSS feed readers, that either push you into a
browser (in-app or otherwise), or depend on third party text parsing
services and require you to be online to fetch the full text of one article
at a time (which makes it no different from having to click/tap through to a
website), in lire, you get your favorite RSS feeds as they should've been.
You don't need to click through to any website (though, you do still have
the option to, if you really wanted). It takes your favorite partial feeds,
does its magic, and converts them in to full feeds, so you don't have to
click/tap on those annoying 'Read more' or 'Continue reading' links.
Once they're cached, you don't even need to be connected to read your
full-text feeds.
