One statically-compiled Go binary over PostgreSQL, no ORM, no framework, static assets embedded in the executable: Miniflux is the minimalist, opinionated feed reader. The opinions are the feature: page layout, fonts, and colors are tuned for reading, and everything else is treated as noise. It consumes Atom, RSS, and JSON Feed formats with OPML import/export, organizes articles with categories and bookmarks, fetches original full-text content for summary-only feeds, and provides Postgres-powered full-text search. Privacy work happens automatically: pixel trackers are stripped, tracking parameters removed from URLs, a media proxy blocks third-party tracking, referrers are never forwarded, and there is zero telemetry. Navigation is keyboard-first - j/k through items, o to open, f to star - with touch gestures on mobile. Podcast, video, and music enclosures are supported, and YouTube videos play inline. Over 25 integrations save articles onward to Wallabag, Readwise Reader, Pinboard, Linkding, Instapaper, Notion, Telegram, Matrix, Ntfy, and more, plus webhooks and a REST API with Go and Python clients; the Google Reader API endpoint supports existing mobile reader apps. Authentication spans local passwords, passkeys (WebAuthn), Google OAuth2, OpenID Connect, and reverse-proxy headers. It is Apache 2.0 licensed, translated into 20 languages, and updates feeds on an internal scheduler.

Where Miniflux strips reading down, FreshRSS gives you knobs - the feature-rich pole of self-hosted RSS, comfortable with thousands of feeds. It's a multi-user PHP aggregator (host family and friends on one instance, with an anonymous reading mode) with the reading workflow refined over a decade: favorites, custom tags, powerful filter and search queries, three reading views, and statistics that reveal each site's publishing frequency - useful for pruning subscriptions. Two properties make it the standard choice. First, the Google Reader-compatible API (plus a Fever API) syncs with virtually every serious RSS client - Reeder, NetNewsWire, ReadYou, FeedMe, Fluent Reader - so your phone reads from your server. Second, native WebSub support means compatible sources (WordPress, Blogger, Medium, Friendica) push new articles instantly instead of waiting for polling. A 50+ extension ecosystem adds what truncated feeds omit - full-text content fetching, reading-time estimates, trending views, auto-unsubscribe for dead feeds - alongside community themes and custom CSS. OPML import/export keeps subscriptions portable, a CLI handles administration, and article sharing posts to many services. AGPL-licensed, running on SQLite, MySQL, or PostgreSQL. Feedly Pro's feature set, minus Feedly's subscription and its algorithms.

Staying on top of hundreds of RSS feeds is impossible when every reader just dumps articles in chronological order. RSSMonster takes a different approach: it evaluates, scores, and prioritizes every article so the signal rises above the noise. The three-pane reading interface automatically marks articles as read when you scroll past them, while the built-in quality scoring engine rates content by freshness, originality, trust, and attention metrics. Compose advanced search expressions using field operators like star:true, quality:>0.6, hot:true, and date filters like @today or @lastweek, then save those expressions as persistent Smart Folders for one-click access to curated views. Semantic event clustering groups related articles across sources so you see one coherent story instead of fifteen duplicates. Connect your favorite mobile client through the Fever API (supporting Reeder for iOS) or the Google Reader API (compatible with News+, FeedMe, Vienna RSS, and ReadKit). The AI chat assistant powered by the Model Context Protocol lets you ask questions about your feed content and get summarized answers. Import your existing subscriptions via OPML, switch between light and dark themes, and install the app as a Progressive Web App for offline reading. On RepoCloud, deploy RSSMonster on a dedicated VPS with root SSH access, full data ownership, and persistent storage under the MIT license.

Follow every blog, newsletter, and news site you like from one distraction-free inbox with the self-hosted Fusion RSS reader, which has no AI features by design. A left sidebar lists feed groups with unread counts and jumps between Unread, Starred, and All, while the center list shows articles under filter tabs with read and star buttons on every card. Click a card and a right-hand drawer opens with the full sanitized article, a link to the original, and Previous and Next buttons. Press Cmd or Ctrl+K, or the slash key, to search feeds and articles from anywhere. Stay on the keyboard with Google Reader-style keys such as j and k to move, m to mark read, s to star, and g then u to jump to Unread; the question mark lists them all. Add a feed by entering a site address and letting auto-discovery find it, then pick its group, refresh frequency, and HTTP proxy, or suspend it to pause updates. OPML import and export bring subscriptions in or out. Starred articles are saved as snapshots that outlive their source feed. Fever API compatibility lets Reeder, Unread, and FeedMe read the same library. Sign in with a password or OIDC single sign-on, and install the interface as a PWA with Light, Dark, and System themes in eight languages. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. MIT licensed.

Subscribe to a feed and Oksskolten fetches the complete text of every new article, cleans it, and files it as Markdown in a library you can read without leaving the app. About 500 cleanup patterns strip ads, navigation, and tracking, with no per-feed toggles or selectors to maintain. No feed on the site? Auto-discovery goes first, then RSS Bridge, then LLM-inferred CSS selectors, while FlareSolverr gets past bot protection. Every feed is checked on its own schedule, somewhere between every 15 minutes and every 4 hours. Inbox, Read Later, Liked, and Read views keep the queue tidy. Clip any URL as a standalone article. Likes and bookmarks feed an engagement score that shapes search ranking and recommendations. One click summarizes or translates an article through Anthropic, Gemini, OpenAI, Ollama, or vLLM, with Google Translate and DeepL as translation engines. Ask the chat questions about your archive, or point Claude Code or Codex at the built-in MCP server to use the same tools. Search forgives typos and covers every stored article. Login works with a password, a passkey, or GitHub. Pick from four layouts and fourteen color themes, import custom themes as JSON, rebind keyboard shortcuts, and keep reading offline as a progressive web app. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. AGPL-3.0 licensed.

CommaFeed delivers the Google Reader experience on your own infrastructure with modern performance characteristics. The Quarkus-based Java backend compiles to native code via GraalVM, achieving sub-second cold starts and 50MB memory footprint — a fraction of traditional JVM RSS readers. Four distinct layouts (title-only, expanded, magazine, and card) with light and dark themes adapt to any reading style, while comprehensive keyboard shortcuts cover navigation, marking, starring, and feed management without touching a mouse. The Fever-compatible API and newly added Google Reader API connect native iOS and Android apps (Reeder, Unread, FeedMe, ReadKit) directly to your instance. Per-feed push notifications through ntfy, Gotify, or Pushover alert you to new articles instantly. The visual query builder for automatic read-marking rules replaces raw expression syntax with an intuitive condition editor supporting title, content, author, and URL matching. OPML import and export enable seamless migration from any RSS service. Custom CSS and JavaScript injection let power users completely restyle the interface, while the browser extension adds one-click subscription from any website. Docker images for linux/amd64 and linux/arm64 with H2 embedded database require zero configuration to start. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. Apache-2.0 licensed.

Excerpt-only feeds, truncated teasers, and articles in languages you do not read make RSS feel broken; FeedCraft sits between the source and your reader and fixes the feed itself. Pick from more than twenty single-step crafts: extract the full article text, even from JavaScript-rendered pages through a headless browser, translate titles or whole articles, add AI introductions and summaries, strip ads and clutter, or filter items by keyword, embedding similarity, or a natural-language prompt to your own LLM. Chain crafts into FlowCraft pipelines, so one pass can limit a feed to ten items, fetch every full text, drop the advertorials, and summarize what survives. Save the result as a recipe and FeedCraft hands you a permanent crafted feed URL that drops straight into the reader you already use, while portable mode transforms any feed on the fly from a single crafted URL prefix. When a site has no feed at all, the visual generators build one from a webpage with CSS selectors, from a JSON API with curl import, or straight from search results.

AIHOT is a self-hosted engine for running your own AI news site: it watches the sources you choose, scores every story twice, and publishes only the coverage worth reading. Point it at RSS feeds, web list pages, JSON APIs, X accounts, WeChat public accounts, or content pushed in by scripts, polled on schedules you control. After deduplication and pre-screening, every story faces two independent scoring passes under the same rubric, so one generous run cannot wave a weak story through. Coverage of the same story clusters into one event across the last two weeks, so forty outlets on one launch read as a single developing story. Hotness is measured per event: each source counts once per 48 hours and its weight halves daily, so repeat posting cannot inflate the ranking. Digests compile on schedule: a daily edition at 08:00, a weekly review on Mondays, and a monthly rollup on the first, assembled by rules without model calls. Readers browse topic pages by company, research direction, and content form, search titles, summaries, and full text, and keep local favorites with export and import. From the admin backend you can test sources, correct scores by hand, calibrate selection against labeled samples, and swap the model behind each pipeline step. Output flows through RSS, a public API, MCP, agent Markdown, and llms.txt, so humans and AI agents can subscribe.

Self-hosted and built around long reading, Omnivore saves articles, newsletters, and PDFs, renders web pages as clean text, remembers your place, and keeps every highlight searchable. Pages arrive from the web app's Add button or from Chrome and Firefox extensions that authenticate with an API key. Newsletters arrive through generated email addresses once an IMAP watcher or another mail bridge is set up. PDFs open in the same reader and accept highlights and notes just like articles. Labels, saved searches, and filters such as subscription:"Name" make a big library easy to slice. The RSS section follows your feeds, lets you add a story to the library or hide it, and can sort stories into topics when an OpenAI key is configured. Custom extractors scroll lazy-loaded pages, follow paginated articles, and strip pop-ups before saving. Rules trigger webhooks when pages are created or updated, which suits automatic labelling and other custom workflows. E-ink reading settings add double-tap page turns and volume-button scrolling, and Android and iOS apps sync the same library. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. AGPL-3.0 licensed.

Positioned as the open-source NotebookLM alternative for AI agents, SurfSense delivers a live web research platform where your agents access structured data from Reddit, YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Amazon, Walmart, Google Maps, Google Search, Indeed, and any page on the open web through one REST API or MCP server. Scheduled and event-triggered agents transform findings into briefs, alerts, podcasts, and presentations, while a built-in knowledge base keeps every discovery searchable with Perplexity-style cited answers using hybrid semantic and full-text search powered by PostgreSQL with pgvector. Upload PDFs, Office documents, images, and audio files, or sync Google Drive, OneDrive, and Dropbox — 50+ file formats supported with AI file sorting that auto-organizes documents by source, date, and topic. The MCP server exposes scrapers, knowledge base, and workspaces as native tools for Claude, Cursor, and any MCP-compatible agent. Cross-country proxy rotation handles Reddit, TikTok, and Google Search scraping with geo-aware sticky sessions and captcha-aware anti-bot handling. The platform features collaborative chats, multi-format document export, git-native knowledge base with Open Knowledge Format export, and a desktop quick-ask panel with global shortcut. Docker Compose deployment manages nine services including Caddy proxy, PostgreSQL, Redis, FastAPI backend, Celery workers, zero-cache real-time sync, and Next.js frontend with automatic Watchtower updates.

RSS-Bridge gives a feed to every website that never offered one, so social profiles, video channels, and news pages become subscriptions for any feed reader. Pick a bridge, enter a username or search term, and the generated URL returns Atom, JSON, HTML, MRSS, plaintext, or Sfeed output. Dedicated bridges cover YouTube channels and playlists, public Telegram channels, Reddit users and subreddits, Mastodon instances, Twitch channels, TikTok accounts, SoundCloud users, and Rumble channels. When a site has no bridge, CssSelectorBridge and XPathBridge scrape its pages into a feed from the CSS selectors or XPath expressions you provide. FilterBridge keeps or drops items by keyword, FeedMergeBridge folds several feeds into one stream, and FeedReducerBridge thins out noisy sources. Caching keeps upstream services from banning your server for repeated updates, and a token or HTTP basic authentication keeps a private instance closed to strangers. The enabled_bridges setting limits which bridges appear in the menu, and a failing bridge reports its error as a feed item, so your reader notifies you the moment one breaks. A new bridge is one small class file dropped into the bridges folder, and a mounted config folder carries your custom settings across container restarts.
