Glean

Information overload is the default state of the modern internet, and Glean exists to tame it by pulling every blog, newsletter, and news source you follow into a single, organized reading experience with an interface that prioritizes clarity over clutter. Subscribe to RSS and Atom feeds, import your existing subscriptions via OPML, and organize everything into multi-level folders with a flexible tagging system that lets you slice your reading list by topic, priority, or mood. A three-pane layout presents your feed list, article summaries, and full content side by side, with one-click actions for marking articles as read, saving them for later, bookmarking favorites, or archiving what you have already processed. Background workers fetch new articles every 15 minutes so your feeds stay current without manual refreshes. The preference learning engine (backed by Milvus vector embeddings) scores incoming articles against your reading history and surfaces a personalized Smart Feed of content you are most likely to care about, reducing the time spent scrolling past irrelevant posts. A built-in MCP server lets AI assistants like Claude Desktop search and interact with your feed library directly. The admin dashboard on a separate port provides user management, system monitoring, and configuration controls for multi-user deployments. Bookmark external URLs from any browser with the Chrome extension, or access your feeds on mobile through the 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.
