Like Mail’s classic layout; like earlier versions of NetNewsWire.
Call it Kafasis Mode.
Yes please.
To the existence of this mode, that is.
Here’s a very old screenshot of NetNewsWire — posted mainly because it’s so dated that it’s funny. But also because it makes it the feature request clear.

I still use NetNewsWire 3.3.2 in this mode.
I joined GitHub to add my name to this request. It's the main thing that stops me using NewNetNewsWire instead of Vienna - I really dislike the vertical stripe layout.
Thanks, and thanks for creating this - RSS makes following sites doable!

I was huge fan of this style of layout... with the only exception, the content would be to the RIGHT of it, not below like in mail. loved loved loved it.
+1
The usability of a layout is highly subjective. The current 3 column "modern" one is not the best for everyone.
I've noticed that this issue is two years old and was created by the main author of NNW5, but it doesn't look like it's ever been prioritized. In the meantime there have been other request for the same feature.
Is there any chance to see this added with an update?
Anyways, thank you for working on NNW and making it free and open!
We will be considering this feature in the future, for sure — lots of people have asked for it.
Right now our attention is on a few other, higher-priority things, such as the iOS app and Feedly syncing.
+1 for this, only thing that keeps me on NNW3.
