At some point in the last couple months I ended up blowing away all my feeds deleting the icloud data and starting fresh. My lack of foresight: I also blew away all the starred articles I had been saving. Would there be a local folder/location I could restore from timemachine that would let me get those starred articles back? I’m only syncing through icloud. When I looked in the cloudservices folder nothing jumped out as a potential candidate.
Your iCloud data is stored at:
~/Library/Containers/com.ranchero.NetNewsWire-Evergreen/Data/Library/Application\ Support/NetNewsWire/Accounts/2_iCloud
The database – which contains starred items — is at DB.sqlite3 in that folder.
I don’t know your comfort level with writing code, but you or an LLM could write a script to export the starred articles as text or JSON or whatever format you want.
This is just what I needed, thanks!
