Description
FeedsBar streams high-signal headlines across your Mac desktop in a slim, always-on ticker, fed by the Signal 500: 500 sources hand-scored on editorial quality and ad restraint. Topic orbs reduce a cluster of headlines to three phrases. Play music and the ticker re-tunes to that artist. Add your own feeds and symbols, or send it full-screen as an ambient board. Native macOS, no account, no tracking. 7-day free trial, then $24.99 once, no subscription.

Could you build this?
Yes FeedsBar is a native macOS desktop utility that polls RSS feeds and system media events to display a scrolling text ticker. The UI, feed fetching, and background polling are classic macOS/Swift development tasks readily achievable via vibe coding.
